Check eligibility

Loans for home improvements can be either secured or unsecured. Secured loans are secured against your property and will attract a broker fee and a lender fee upon completion that may be added to the amount borrowed. Full details will be provided by the credit broker. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

V12 Personal Finance is a credit broker, not a lender. V12 Personal Finance introduces you to a limited range of brokers or lenders who may offer you a loan. V12 Personal Finance does not work with the whole of the lending market, meaning other loans may be available to you elsewhere. 

V12 Personal Finance does not give you any recommendation or advice. V12 Personal Finance acts for itself and is not impartial. It does not act for you or for the lenders or brokers it works with.

V12 Personal Finance receives a fixed or percentage commission payment from the lender or broker if you take out a loan. The commission it receives varies depending on the product and loan amount. Loan offers (if available) are shown in this order: unsecured loans followed by secured loans, ranked by the closest matched loan amount, term and lowest APR respectively. Before completing your application, you will be shown the commission arrangement between V12 Personal Finance and the lender or broker you have selected.

Credit is subject to status. You must be UK resident aged 18 and over, with a regular provable income. If you are a homeowner, V12 Personal Finance may provide you with details of loans secured against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

To make things easier, we'll share the information (including your personal details) that you confirm and provided during this eligibility check with our panel of lenders or brokers. We do this so that they can provide you with a quote for the loan you have requested and to save you from having to tell them again. Details of our panel can be found here.
