WHETHER you’re planning to replace your roof, build an extension or replace worn-out floors, talk to your local credit union today about home improvements. With 9 credit unions in Kerry and West Limerick, there is always one close at hand to help you with your lending requirements.

As the economy picks up and consumer spend confidence continues to improve, more of us will consider home improvements in 2017. The extension of the Government’s Home Renovation Incentive Scheme until end of 2018, provides welcome tax relief for those planning expenditure on repair, renovation or improvement works in the coming year.

Our philosophy at the credit union has always been to look at things differently. We understand the difference a home improvement loan can make to your life, increasing comfort and adding space, so we always look at your whole story to make sure you feel at home with the loan process.

We only propose home improvement loans with realistic terms, which you can pay back in a way that works best for you. We don’t charge administration fees or transaction charges and you can pay back your home improvement loan early without penalty.

The added advantage of loan protection insurance at no added cost to you is one of the many benefits of a credit union loan.

“The Irish property market is certainly showing signs of recovery and this in turn is giving people confidence to carry out home improvements that were maybe put off during the depths of the recession. Many credit union offer special home improvements rates, so we recommend you to make contact with your local credit union and see what’s on offer,” said Helen Courtney Power, Chairperson, Chapter 23 Credit Union Marketing Committee.
