APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. Our Home Improvement Loans have a variable rate which means that the rate, and your loan repayments, can go up or down during the term of your loan.

Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit, a hire- purchase agreement, a consumer-hire agreement or a BNPL agreement in the future.

What is the Home Renovation Incentive (HRI) Scheme?

The Home Renovation Incentive (HRI) scheme was announced in Budget 2014. It provides tax relief for homeowners by way of an income tax credit of 13.5% of qualifying expenditure (€4,405 - €30,000) on repair, renovation or improvement works carried out on a main home by qualifying contractors.
