The Casa Brasil Reform Begins With A Minimum Loan Of R$ 5,000, Allows Proving The Work With Before And After Photos, Applies Interest Rates Starting At 1.17% Per Month And Finances Everything From Additions To New Flooring And Painting For Families Earning Up To R$ 9,600

The Casa Brasil Reform is the new loan line for those who need to renovate their own, rented, or given residence and want conditions below the market. The program releases the first installment after submitting before photos, accepts proof with after photos, and concentrates the analysis entirely digitally through Caixa. The interest rates start at 1.17% per month for the lower income bracket, and the minimum loan amount is R$ 5,000.

The purpose of the Casa Brasil Reform is to accelerate housing improvements without bureaucracy. The customer receives 90% of the amount after the validation of the initial photos, executes the work, and upon proving completion with images, receives the remaining 10%. The first installment is due 30 days after the signing, and the installment amount cannot exceed 25% of the family income.

Who Can Apply And What Changes With Photo Verification

Families with gross monthly income of up to R$ 9,600, including those who live on rent or as guests, may participate.

It is not mandatory to own a financed property, and there is no requirement for structural issues to obtain the loan.

Contracting, simulation, and signing of the contract occur through the Caixa website or app.

The main novelty of the Casa Brasil Reform is the photographic verification.

No budgets or invoices are required: just before images are enough to release 90%, and after images to release the final 10%.

If the work is not fully proven, Caixa does not deposit the remainder and imposes a fine, in addition to including the contractor’s name in a restrictive registry.

Income Brackets, Interest Rates, And Terms

The Casa Brasil Reform replicates the logic of income brackets, with progressive conditions according to the applicant’s profile.

The lower the income, the lower the interest rate. The amounts and terms vary by bracket and the bank’s assessment.

In Bracket 1, for income up to R$ 3,200, the interest starts at 1.17% per month. The loan ranges from R$ 5,000 to R$ 30,000, with a term of 24 to 60 months.

Examples: R$ 5,000 has an installment of R$ 170.99 in 36 months, R$ 136.73 in 48 months, or R$ 116.45 in 60 months.

In Bracket 2, from R$ 3,200.01 to R$ 9,600, the interest is 1.95% per month. The financed amount also ranges from R$ 5,000 to R$ 30,000, with a term of 24 to 60 months.

Examples: R$ 10,000 results in R$ 389.19 in 36 months, R$ 322.71 in 48 months, or R$ 284.21 in 60 months.

In Bracket 3, above R$ 9,600, the interest rates range from 1.33% to 1.95% per month. The loan starts at R$ 30,000 and can reach 50% of the property’s appraisal value, with a term of up to 180 months.

In this bracket, the conditions depend on the credit analysis and the property’s collateral.

What The Loan Can Cover And How To Choose Services

The Casa Brasil Reform loan covers materials, labor, projects, and technical guidance. The beneficiary chooses up to three services from the official list.

These include painting, plastering, flooring, and tiling, replacement of doors, windows, roofs, and ceilings, electrical and plumbing arrangements, installation of solar energy, construction or renovation of rooms, and accessibility with ramps, handrails, and bars.

The guidance is to plan in stages to maximize the use of resources.

Combining flooring and painting, for example, reduces rework and mobilization costs.

Projects and technical oversight are included in the financing and help avoid execution errors that increase project costs.

Step By Step To Contract And Receive In Two Stages

The process is 100% digital. Access the Caixa app or website, provide income and property information, select up to three services, simulate the amount and term, and move on to the digital signature.

Before the disbursement, take and submit the before photos of the areas to be renovated.

With approval, 90% of the amount is deposited into the current or savings account with Caixa. The Caixa Tem is not eligible for receipt.

Carry out the work within 55 days, document the results, and send the after photos. Only then are the final 10% released. The first installment is debited 30 days after the hiring.

Eligibility Rules, Limits, And Important Alerts

The Casa Brasil Reform requires approved credit analysis and only one active loan per family. The installment amount cannot exceed 25% of income.

FGTS cannot be used to pay for this loan. Properties in risk areas or with serious restrictions are not eligible.

It is possible to recalculate the installments after the total loan amount is released. The absence of final proof blocks the balance and incurs a fine, with registration in restrictive databases.

To avoid problems, keep the project timeline, photograph in good light, and clearly show the progression of the rooms.

What To Finance First: Priorities That Increase Value And Safety

Prioritize items that address risks and increase usability value. Electrical and plumbing fix invisible issues that can cause short circuits, leaks, and mold.

Next, flooring and painting deliver immediate impact of comfort and appreciation. Roof and frame replacements reduce infiltration and improve ventilation.

For those aiming for recurring savings, solar energy can be included as a third service and reduce the electricity bill.

Accessibility enhances safety and adapts the home for the elderly and people with limited mobility, creating a direct benefit to the family.

Execution And Verification Tips To Avoid Reimbursements

Plan purchases in stages, prioritizing critical materials. Document the work from demolition to finishing and compare similar angles in before and after photos.

Keep receipts and labor contracts even if not required, as they help in verifications.

For those with tight deadlines, organize the site by rooms.

Completing and photographing rooms in sequence avoids rework and facilitates the release of the final balance. Review the lighting in the photos and use visual references that prove the renovated location.

The Casa Brasil Reform offers fast credit, competitive interest rates, and photo verification to accelerate improvements in housing.

With well-documented planning and execution, it’s possible to replace flooring, paint, adjust electrical and plumbing systems, build rooms, and even install solar energy within clear limits of income, term, and installment.

What would be your priority with the Casa Brasil Reform now: correcting electrical and plumbing issues, resurfacing flooring and painting, or investing in solar energy to reduce the electricity bill?
