Purchase Plus Improvements Program: Buy, Renovate & Finance It All Together
Buying a home that needs a little TLC can be a great opportunity — but renovation costs often stop buyers from moving forward. That’s where the Purchase Plus Improvements Program comes in.
This program allows you to finance both the purchase of your home and approved renovations under one mortgage, making it easier to turn a fixer-upper into your dream home.
What Is the Purchase Plus Improvements Program?
The Purchase Plus Improvements Program is a mortgage option that lets buyers add the cost of renovations directly into their mortgage at the time of purchase.
Common improvements include:
-
Flooring
-
Painting
-
Kitchen upgrades
-
Bathroom renovations
-
Minor repairs and updates
Instead of paying for renovations upfront, the cost is spread over your mortgage term.
How Does the Program Work?
-
The process is simple and well-structured:
Step 1: Before taking possession, you obtain quotes for the planned improvements.
Step 2: The lender approves those renovation costs and adds them to your mortgage amount.
Step 3: After you purchase the home and complete the renovations, the lender releases the approved funds to you.This ensures the work is completed as planned while giving you financial flexibility.
