Finance for home improvement

Unless you have the money in cash you will need to refinance your existing loan when considering an extension or renovation, and it's a good idea to go through a mortgage broker when doing this.
We provide access to the professional services of Resolve Finance to assist you in making the right financial decision when improving your home.
Resolve is an award winning brokerage with specific expertise in construction finance and can guide you through this process.
Resolve provides access to a wide range of lenders meaning that you may get a better deal on your current home loan, but regardless of whether you stay with your existing lender or change providers, they'll ensure your loan is structured correctly for you and your builder's needs.
Move or renovate?
Moving home can be a costly exercise when you add up all the fees involved, not to mention the inconvenience caused to you during that time.
If you love where you live but your home just doesn't allow you to live the way you want, then a renovation could be the solution - and the finances stack up too.
The table below shows what your additional repayments might be per week for varying renovation costs. This could be even less if your repayments can be reduced by refinancing or consolidating your existing commitments to a lower rate.
| Cost of renovation | $50K | $100K | $150K |
| Extra repayments per week | $67.30 | $134.61 | $201.92 |
| Cost of renovation | $200K | $250K | $300K |
| Extra repayments per week | $269.22 | $336.52 | $403.82 |
| Cost of renovation | $350K | $400K | $450K |
| Extra repayments per week | $471.12 | $538.42 | $605.72 |
Nb. Interest repayments are calculated based on an interest only loan at a rate of 7% and a 30 year loan term.
Costs to consider when moving:
- Stamp duty
- Agent fees
- Legal fees and conveyancing costs
- Building and pest inspection reports
- Removal costs
