What is a Refurbishment Loan?

What is a Refurbishment Loan?

What is a Refurbishment Loan?

A refurbishment loan is a short-term, asset-backed funding facility used to purchase and improve a property before sale or refinance.

It’s designed for projects where the asset needs work - whether that’s modernisation, reconfiguration, or general improvement - and where traditional mortgage funding isn’t available at purchase. Refurbishment finance allows experienced investors to move quickly, add value, and exit on their own terms.
