Renovating my home
What are my options for finance?
We have a range of options suitable for different circumstances.
I am planning cosmetic renovations
If you are planning cosmetic renovations, like upgrading your kitchen or bathroom, there are a number of options available for accessing extra funds.
If you've paid off more than your minimum repayments, the redraw feature allows you to withdraw extra money you've paid into your home loan, so you're able to access your money to fund your renovation plans. 1
The top-up feature allows you to extend the credit limit of your existing loan without applying for a new one.
An Equity Access Loan lets you use the equity in your property as a source of funds. This loan is secured by a first registered mortgage over your property.
