Established in 2003, we have lent over £27 million on behalf of our council partners.
Do you own a property that’s standing empty?
In partnership with West Oxfordshire District Council, we can provide access to finance that could help with the essential repairs and renovations needed to bring your home back into use.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or have inherited a property, this scheme is here to support you in making it ready to live in, rent out, or sell.
Representative example. 4% interest fixed (Representative 4.2% APR)
Loans are subject to status and are typically protected by a Title Restriction.
Borrow £5,000 over 60 months, £92.08 monthly repayments. Total amount repayable = £5,544.96, including £20 fee for registering the Title Restriction against your property at the Land Registry. The £20.00 fee is only payable if a loan is agreed by Lendology and you decide to proceed with a loan. We do not charge interest on the fee. A Title Restriction means that you may not be able to sell your home without our permission unless the loan is fully repaid. This is a financial promotion approved by Lendology CIC. Missing payments could affect your credit rating and ability to obtain credit in the future.
Loans are subject to status and are typically protected by a Title Restriction.
All our loans have fixed interest, no early repayment charges and the option to make overpayments at any time. We have a range of repayment options and loans may be offered with a deferred repayment period of between 6 and 24 months, giving you the flexibility to renovate your property before repayments begin (subject to eligibility).
Whether you have inherited a rundown property and are looking to make improvements before selling, or need a cash injection to complete your renovation project, our empty property loan scheme may be the answer you have been looking for.

We understand that talking about money and applying for finance can be tricky, and we will work with you every step of the way.
We are happy to work with family members/supporting agencies if you would like help along the application process, however we will need your consent to doing so before we can speak to someone other than yourself. For customers identified as needing more support, we can arrange a face-to-face visit if needed. Your Case Manager is here to help and are fully trained to understand a wide range of financial circumstances.

We’ll assess your application, run an affordability check, and conduct a credit search to confirm loan affordability. If we can’t provide a loan, we’ll do our best to signpost you for other support.
After our assessment, you’ll receive a personalised, conditional offer valid for six months—giving you plenty of time to make decisions that work best for you.
Once you’ve selected a contractor, share your quotes with us to move forward with the loan.
We’ll finalise the loan amount based on your quotes and send a Loan Agreement for you to review and sign.
With everything in place, you’re ready to begin your project! We can arrange deposits up front if required.
Once the work is completed, simply send us a copy of your contractor’s invoice, and we’ll release your funds to your nominated account.
Lendology works with West Oxfordshire District Council to deliver responsible loans through the Empty Property Loan Scheme. Funded and overseen locally by the Council, the scheme helps homeowners and landlords finance essential renovations and repairs to bring empty properties back into use. Loans are offered at a competitive rate and are available to all eligible residents. This partnership supports stronger communities and increases housing supply across West Oxfordshire.
Our lending decisions are made with people, for people, based on your situation, not just your credit score. You’ll always speak to a real person who’s here to help, not judge.
Our loans are tailored to your circumstances, with affordable repayment plans and the freedom to settle or overpay at any time — helping you save money and reduce interest.
Know exactly what you’ll repay. Your monthly repayment amounts are fixed for the lifetime of the loan, giving you stability and peace of mind.
If you repay your loan early, you will not be charged an early repayment fee.
