Why Choose Ares Capital for Your Renovation Loan?

Renovation loans often come with better interest rates and clearer usage terms than general personal loans. With the right funding in place, you can confidently begin your transformation project without straining your savings or cash flow.

Better Interest Rates

Renovation loans usually carry lower interest rates than standard unsecured loans. We work with licensed banks and moneylenders to secure the most competitive rates for your renovation needs.

High Borrowing Limits

You can borrow up to 6 times your monthly income or S$30,000, whichever is lower. This gives you sufficient flexibility to finance large-scale upgrades or multiple aspects of your renovation at once.

Purpose-Built Financing

Unlike general personal loans, renovation loans are purpose-built. Lenders often allow higher approval odds and better rates when funds are used for structural improvements, fittings, or contractor works.

No Collateral Required

Most renovation loans are unsecured. You do not need to pledge your property or assets. For property owners who wish to access larger amounts, we can also help structure a secured option with better terms.
