In this episode, we’re joined once again by Eloise Dooley, Director and Finance Broker at Two Birds One Loan, and the lending partner for the IFD Group. Eloise talks about why misunderstanding construction financing is more costly than the renovation itself, when a simple equity release is sufficient, and when doctors must opt for a full construction loan.

She also discusses how banks value your home before and after major structural renovations, why progress payments and builder contracts are critical to your project's success, and how running out of cash mid-build can leave you trapped with unfinished projects.

If you want to avoid costly lending traps, navigate renovations with financial clarity, and confidently transform your home without unnecessary stress, make sure to listen to this episode!
