- Our expertise
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.
Your property’s value, usable equity and lender requirements affect renovation funding. We review your existing lending, project budget, quotes and approvals, then compare options suited to your circumstances.
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.
We compare funding options against your income, project costs and repayment capacity. Depending on the works and lender requirements, options may include an existing loan increase, refinancing or a construction-style facility with staged payments.
We explain the documents lenders require, which may include quotes, building contracts, plans and council approvals. We help prepare your application and coordinate lender requests. Approval and payment timing depend on lender assessment and supporting information.

- Our Capabilities
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
Explore whether usable equity could fund your renovation. We compare repayments, fees and total borrowing costs, including the effect of adding renovation expenses to a longer home-loan term.
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.
Funding That Fits the Scope of Your Renovation
These illustrative scenarios explain how we approach renovation lending. They are not client results or promises of approval or increased property value.
A Kitchen or Bathroom Update
A homeowner plans a non-structural renovation with supplier quotes and a defined budget. We review their existing loan, usable equity and repayment capacity, then compare available funding options, including fees and total borrowing costs.
An Extension or Major Structural Renovation
A homeowner plans an extension involving a builder, approvals and staged payments. We review the contract, project budget, contingency allowance and lender requirements, then assess whether a construction-style facility suits the works. Progress payments remain subject to lender conditions and required inspections.
Our process
Understanding You
We start with a real conversation no generic forms. We look at your renovation plans, your budget, and how you want the project to impact your lifestyle or property value.
Assessing Your Position
We review your equity, current loan structure, and property value, plus any approvals or quotes already in place. This ensures the renovation loan application is built on solid foundations.
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.
You may be able to borrow against usable equity, subject to lender valuation, borrowing limits and repayment capacity. We compare available options and explain the costs and risks. Using equity increases the debt secured against your home, and a longer repayment term may increase total interest costs.
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.
