Houseproud Scheme

If you are a homeowner over 60 years of age or a homeowner of any age who is disabled or has a disabled person living with them, you may be eligible for the Home Improvement Trust's Houseproud scheme. A variety of loans are available through the scheme with various repayment options, and they are tailored to meet the needs of older or disabled people. Some of the loans have a no repossession clause.

The scheme offers a safe, easy way to get repairs, improvements or adaptations carried out without any of the dangers posed by ‘cowboy builders‘, or concerns over how to pay for the work.

If you are thinking about borrowing money we would recommend that you talk to your own bank or building society and consider taking independent financial advice before making a commitment. However, if you do decide to go ahead with Houseproud we can help you complete their forms, then instruct and supervise contractors for you.
