Lending Done Differently

How Lendology Loans Work

Lendology works in partnership with local councils to provide responsible home improvement loans. Our approach considers your individual circumstances alongside standard credit information.

The money we lend is provided by councils and recycled to help support more homeowners over time.

All applications are assessed individually, with decisions based on your circumstances and affordability.

The best place to start is seeing what support is available in your area.

Am I eligible?

Our loans are available to homeowners. Eligibility depends on your local council and your individual circumstances.

This may include people who are:

  • Retired or receiving a pension
  • Self-employed
  • Receiving benefits
  • Managing more complex financial situations

We don’t rely solely on credit scores. We look at your overall financial situation to make a fair and considered decision.

All applications are subject to eligibility and affordability checks.

How can I apply?

Begin by checking what support is available through your local council, or speak to our team if you’d like to talk things through first.

What does Lendology need from me?

As part of your application, we’ll need to understand your income and outgoings to assess what’s affordable for you.

One way we may do this is through Open Banking, which allows you to securely share a read-only view of your transactions.

This helps by:

  • Reducing paperwork
  • Build a more accurate picture of your situation

You remain in control at all times:

  • Secure, encrypted and regulated access 
  • No ability for us to move money
  • Access is time limited and only lasts as long as you consent 
  • You can withdraw access at any time

Will this affect my home?

If your loan is approved, it is secured against your property using a Title Restriction. This is registered with the Land Registry.

What does the Title Restriction mean for me? 

  • You still own your home and can live in it as normal
  • We’ll be told if you want to sell, remortgage, or transfer ownership
  • If you sell or transfer ownership, you’ll need to repay your loan at that point
  • If you remortgage, your solicitor will get in touch with us. We’ll review this and let them know if we can agree or if the loan needs to be repaid
  • Once your loan is fully repaid, we’ll remove the restriction

We will never ask you to sell your home in order to repay your loan.
