Home renovation loans in Yukon

A renovation loan in Yukon is a contract between a borrower and a licensed lender, read against the province's consumer credit rules and the federal ceiling where one applies.

The Yukon version of the renovation loan page exists because provincial rules apply to the contract wherever the lender is based.

The product in plain terms

Home renovation loans: Paying for work on a property, from a small unsecured instalment loan to a secured renovation product.

A renovation loan ranges from a small unsecured instalment loan to a secured product tied to the property being improved.

The lender values the asset before setting the amount, and the amount rarely exceeds that value.

Insurance on the asset is commonly required while the security is in place.

Licensing for consumer credit in Yukon sits with the province or territory, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada maintains the public list of provincial and territorial regulators.
