Owner Occupier Loan

The Welsh Government has launched a new Loan scheme offering financial support to owners of private properties. 

The fund, made available to Councils in Wales, enables the Council to provide short to medium term loans to owners of sub-standard properties who pass affordability criteria and who are restricted by other sources of finance. 

  Please note you will be required to manage the project yourself, including seeking competitive quotes, arranging an asbestos survey, managing the work on site and ensuring that all the work is completed to your satisfaction and meets any legislative requirements in place.

Please note that the loan is discretionary and an offer of a loan cannot be guaranteed until the applicant has received formal notice of approval.  All monies will be paid to you on provision of a Contractor(s) invoice on completion of the works.
