How To Fund Your Latest Diy Adventure

It's getting to that season again, in the UK in any case

, the days are getting longer and they're dry in the main and across the country wives are turning to husbands (in general: sometimes husbands are presumably turning to wives)and saying things like 'wouldn't it be lovely to have a second bathroom'.

Turning an unloved nook or cranny into a second kitchen-diner with one of those taps that has a blue light when it's cold and a red one when it's hot is every Englishman's right - what with their homes all being their castles - but it doesn't come for free.

Taking the time to draw up some basic plans to take to an architect, measuring up and making a time commitment is one thing but it's quite another to actually fund the thing.

This article will consider three ways of taking your DIY to the bank based on the size of your project and your personal financial history.

When you're considering a small project that's low-cost and low-risk (i.e. you don't foresee that they'll be any problems at all which could lead to you having to spend even more)then you might want to start by looking at borrowing with a credit card.

Potentially, this could enable you to borrow for free, using a 0% purchases deal of a number of months.

When you compare credit cards based on this you'll notice that the zero percent offers tend to start from as little as three months and go up to almost a year and a half.

The longer the better but do bear in mind that the very best ones will usually require you to have a good or excellent credit history.

If your project is a bit bigger and your willing to pay out to fund your do it yourself plans then you could try to compare personal loans to find a good deal.

When you look at personal loans you'll notice that the amounts are usually just over what the average credit card's limits are - although you can get your hands on smaller or much larger personal loans.

Finally, if you can wait or you have a very bad financial history you'll probably find that the best thing to do is to wait and save up the money.

Compare savings accounts to get the most out of your money and stop you from spending it before you can use it.
