Finance your home transformation
A home renovation loan brings your dream home closer
Determining the right home knockdown/renovation loan for you
With a property market on the rise, the opportunity to upgrade to a new property doesn’t always make the most financial sense. Instead we are seeing more people opt to use the equity in the current home to renovate. While others are choosing to knock down and rebuild on their existing land.

How a home renovation loan works
If you’re opting to knock down and rebuild or your renovation is extensive then a construction loan is the most likely option for finance. These loans for building work a little differently to how a standard home loan does. Here’s how it works.
To get an renovation loan approved you will need to have a on completion property valuation done that puts a dollar value on what your home will be worth once the renovations are complete.
This is because the banks lend money to you based on the completed value amount. This is where we can help the most, as we have great relationships with the banks so know which ones are going to allow you to borrow what you need.
We take care of all the legwork for you during the approval process so you can focus on the fun stuff like choosing the fixtures and finishes for your new space.
Once your loan is approved and your renovation or construction begins, your lender will draw down in stages to make progress payments to your builder.
This is different to a more standard home loan where the funds are put into a bank account you can access. In a renovation loan scenario, the bank manages the payments for you and sends the money directly to the builder.
