Brisbane Mortgage Broker for home renovation, construction, and upgrades in Brisbane

We Help Brisbane Clients:

Strategic Lending Advice

We start by understanding the size and scope of your renovation. From cosmetic upgrades to full-scale construction, we provide clear guidance on whether a personal loan, construction loan, or equity release is the best fit for your situation.

Brisbane Market Knowledge

Property values and buyer demand vary suburb to suburb. From Paddington and New Farm to North Lakes, Springfield, and the Bayside, we know which areas deliver the highest return on renovations — and how lenders view each location.

With over 60 banks, credit unions, and specialist renovation loan lenders on our panel, we find the right fit for your project, whether you need a major bank for familiarity or a niche lender with more flexible documentation requirements.

Business-Led Planning

Renovations can be disruptive. We design your loan to suit your income cycle — with interest-only periods, offset accounts, or staged drawdowns to avoid unnecessary interest on funds you’re not yet using.

Documentation Support

From council approvals to building contracts, we know exactly what lenders want to see to approve a renovation loan. We prepare everything in advance to minimise delays and keep your builder paid on time.

Access to Australia’s Leading Lenders

We work with a wide network of trusted lenders from the big four banks to specialist providers giving you more choice, better negotiation power, and loan options tailored to your goals.

Funding Options Built for Your Renovation Plans

Home Renovation Loans

Whether you’re adding value before selling or creating your forever home, we secure finance tailored to your project size, budget, and equity position.

Equity Release for Renovations

Unlock the value in your home to fund improvements without the high interest rates of personal loans or credit cards.

Renovation + Construction Lending

For structural or large-scale works, we arrange staged-payment facilities that align with your builder’s schedule and keep interest charges in check.

Our process

Assessing Your Position

03.

Planning and Matching

We compare renovation home loans, construction facilities, and equity release options from over 60 lenders. Our focus is on the total cost of finance, not just the rate.

Renovation Home Loan FAQs

Renovation home loans give you access to funds to improve, extend, or repair your property. They can be structured in different ways — as a lump sum if the work is ready to begin, or as a construction-style loan with progressive drawdowns for staged payments. The right setup depends on your project size, equity position, and lender policies.

Yes. If your property’s value has increased since purchase, you may be able to access that equity to finance renovations. The amount you can release depends on your loan-to-value ratio (LVR) and the lender’s maximum LVR limits. For many Brisbane homeowners, this is the most cost-effective way to fund upgrades without taking on a personal loan.

A renovation loan is a specific facility for construction or improvement works, often with staged payments tied to your builder’s schedule.
Refinancing means replacing your current loan with a new one — potentially at a lower rate — and drawing out extra funds for your project. In some cases, we combine both strategies to secure a better deal and the funds you need.

Absolutely. Lenders will assess your ability to repay based on your business income, but you may need to provide different documentation than PAYG applicants. This could include:

  • Two years of tax returns or BAS statements

  • Profit-and-loss statements

  • Accountant declarations confirming income stability

For major structural changes — such as extensions, adding levels, or significant reconfigurations — council approval is often required before the lender releases funds. Cosmetic upgrades like painting or flooring usually don’t require approval.

Lenders typically order a valuation of your property in its current condition, and sometimes an ‘on-completion’ valuation based on your renovation plans. Your LVR will determine your rate options and whether Lenders Mortgage Insurance applies.

Yes, especially if the works cost more than the property’s post-renovation market value. We help you compare renovation costs to expected market value, understand local buyer demand, and structure your loan accordingly.

Yes. This is common for large projects involving major building works. It allows progressive payments while keeping interest charges only on the funds you’ve drawn.
