Home renovation loans we can help you secure

Having bad credit can be discouraging, but it shouldn’t define your future.
Standard home loans to renovate
These loans are specifically tailored for homeowners looking to undertake significant renovations, upgrades, or extensions. This approach not only offers the potential for lower interest rates compared to unsecured borrowing options but also allows for the possibility of tax-deductible interest, depending on your financial situation.

Refinance home loan
Refinancing your existing mortgage can provide the funds needed for your home renovations. This option is ideal if you’re looking to benefit from lower interest rates or different loan terms while accessing the equity in your home for your project.

Refinancing can consolidate your debt into one manageable payment, often resulting in lower monthly payments and the ability to pay off your renovation costs over the life of your mortgage.

Home equity loan
A home equity loan allows you to borrow against the equity you’ve built up in your property to help finance your renovations. This type of loan provides a lump-sum payment that you can use for your home improvements.

Whether you would like $10,000 to paint your house or $100,000 for substantial renovations, a home equity loan may be a great option to increase the value of your property or turn it into your dream property.
Personal loans for home renovations
Personal Loans for home renovations offer a flexible and swift financing solution, perfect for smaller-scale projects or when immediate funding is needed without tapping into home equity. These loans, available as either secured or unsecured, adapt to your financial scenario, providing the necessary resources to rejuvenate or improve your home with minimal delay.

Unsecured personal loan
An unsecured personal loan does not require collateral and is based on your creditworthiness. This loan can be a flexible and quick option for financing smaller to medium-sized renovation projects. Since the loan is unsecured, interest rates may be higher compared to secured options, but it offers the convenience of not putting your home at risk.

Secured personal loan
Secured personal loans are backed by collateral, such as a car or savings account, making them less risky for lenders and often resulting in lower interest rates for borrowers. This type of loan can be a good option if you need a larger amount for your renovation and are comfortable using an asset as security.
Construction loans for renovations
Construction loans are specifically designed for significant renovation projects or the construction of new additions to your home. These loans typically cover the cost of the project and are disbursed in stages based on the completion of predetermined construction milestones. With a construction loan, interest is usually only charged on the portion of the loan that has been drawn down, making it a cost-effective option for larger, phased renovation projects.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Can't find an answer to your question?
How much can I borrow for a renovation?
This depends on the type of renovation loan and your home's expected value after the work is done, not just its current value. Lenders generally assess this differently to a standard home loan, so it's worth talking to us before assuming a figure either way.
Do I need council approval before applying for a renovation loan?
For structural work, most lenders will want to see approved plans and permits before releasing funds. Cosmetic renovations, like a new kitchen or bathroom that doesn't change the structure, usually have fewer requirements. We can tell you what your lender will need based on the scope of your project.
Can I use my home's equity to fund a renovation?
In many cases, yes, if you have enough equity built up in your property. This is one of several ways to fund a renovation, and whether it's the right one depends on your current loan, your equity position and how much the renovation will cost.
Are renovation loan funds released all at once or in stages?
This varies depending on the size and type of renovation. Larger structural jobs are often released in stages as work progresses, similar to a construction loan, while smaller renovations may be funded as a lump sum. We'll explain how it works for your specific project.
