Home work:how much can I borrow?

It is important to plan development or renovation work on the house, you must first validate the financing stage and then devote yourself fully to the progress of the work.

A binding but necessary step

Everyone does not necessarily have affinities with the world of finance and more particularly the world of credit for works, simply it is necessary to go through this stage to understand at least the different mechanisms, because indeed it can play on the rest of the work when you want to carry out other work. You should know that the works can be financed in different ways and two candidates for the works will not necessarily have the same loan.

An owner who has bought his property through a mortgage but has no other loans in progress will favor the consumer loan to finance his work, ideally the personal loan if he carries out the work himself. Another owner who has already carried out work, having car loans, current consumption, will instead turn to credit consolidation to finance his work, thus consolidating his debts into one and financing his current project.

How much can I borrow for my work?

The financing of the works is a question that must be answered quickly, this can be done through a bank advisor or directly online, via a site specializing in credit. It is a quick study that compares the expenses and income of a household, it allows you to know the current debt ratio but also the remaining room for maneuver to add a new monthly payment of work loan, it is essential to avoid the owner to find himself in an unstable financial situation.

To validate this step, it is therefore necessary to establish a request for a work loan, specifying the amount necessary, and if necessary the nature of the work. This allows the bank to validate the consistency of the project and the credit needs. This first step will be followed by the examination of the file and therefore the need to provide supporting documents to validate the final financing.

Nature of the work to be financed

It is important to specify during the procedures the nature of the work to be financed, i.e. whether it will be carried out by the inhabitants or by a specialized company. If the work is carried out by a building company, you will need to provide an estimate for the work, on the other hand no need for documents for work carried out yourself, the bank will rather offer a personal loan.

The need to justify the work within the framework of a professional is to be able to take advantage of an assigned loan whose funds are only released if the work is actually carried out, if the order form is signed. This avoids repaying a loan in life, in the event of non-completion of the project.
