What are home renovation loans?

Home renovation loans are a type of personal loan designed to help you finance home improvements and renovations. The loan is typically repaid over a period and can be tailored to suit your individual needs. Whether you’re looking to add value to your property with a new kitchen and bathroom or upgrading your furniture and appliances, Instant Finance can support you with a loan for your renovation project.

 

Add value to your property while keeping costs low.

Home renovations can potentially be both expensive and time-consuming, but they can also add significant value to your property. If you’re thinking of selling your house in the near future renovation finance may help you to kick off those improvements you have been putting off until now. To keep your renovation costs down, you can consider more cosmetic renovations such as painting, retiling the bathroom, replacing the stovetop etc. And if you have the tools and skills, you can always make it a DIY project to save you some labour costs.

Remember to plan ahead, set a realistic budget, and keep to your budget – it’s very easy to overspend on home improvement projects. If you’re an existing Instant Finance customer, you might be able to top up your existing personal loan to get extra funds for your renovation. Get in touch with your nearest branch to find out the best way to get home renovation loans.

Boost your lifestyle with a Home Renovation

Making home improvements and remodelling are some of the best ways to improve your lifestyle without having to buy another house. From small projects like painting and adding new wallpaper to full-scale renovations like building an extension or laying down a new deck, we can help you with your renovation finance. There are many different projects you may want to consider loans for home improvement to help finance, such as:

  • Kitchen remodelling
  • Bathroom remodelling
  • Interior and/or exterior painting
  • Improving kerb appeal
  • Adding insulation
  • New furniture and appliances

What should I consider before applying for a home renovation loan?

Before you apply for a home renovation loan there are a few things you should consider. You should think about things like:

  1. What sort of renovations are you considering, and do they require any external consent? Council consent can lead to additional costs and will generally mean the whole process takes longer, so it’s important you understand if that project will require consent.
  2. Be clear on why you are undertaking the project. Is it to make your home more liveable, or are you more focused on increasing the value of your home? If you’re wanting to increase the value of your home, this may lead to a different focus for your renovations and the extent of these.
  3. How much do you think you will need to borrow and what your repayment options might be? Hint – you can use our handy online loan calculator to get an idea of your total loan amount, the term of the loan and your regular payment amount

Once you’re ready, you can apply for home renovation loans through our online loan application process, and our friendly team will be in touch to discuss your loan options once we’ve reviewed your application.

Loan terms

Our minimum loan term is 3 months, and our maximum loan period is typically 3 years.

Interest rates

Instant Finance provides loans at an annual interest rate from 12.95% to 29.95% per annum.
The rate that applies to your loan will be based on a range of factors including your circumstances, credit history with us or others, the security you can provide and the loan amount.

Once set, our interest rate is fixed for the term of your loan.

Default interest rate

If you get behind in your loan repayments, then we may charge a default interest rate on any overdue loan payments, while they are unpaid. The Default rate that we charge is 10% per annum above the Interest Rate that normally applies to your loan.

On this basis the maximum annual interest rate charged would be 39.95%

Loan fees

We have various fees attributed to your loan which are added to your loan repayments.

Fee

Description

Cost

Administration fee

Loan Example:

The amount repayable of your loan is made up of your interest rate, plus fees. For example, if borrowing $10,000 repayable over 3 years at an interest rate of 29.95% you would be required to make 156 weekly instalments of $102.96. This repayment is made up of interest, an establishment fee of $270 and an administration fee of $3.00 per instalment.

Total interest would be $5,323.76 with total fees of $738 making the total payable over the full term $16,061.76.
