Common questions about funding your home renovation
To an extent this will depend on the type of home renovations or improvements you’re planning (and how much you expect to spend).
If you’re asking ‘should I get a personal loan for home improvements?’, and by home improvements you mean upgrading furniture or appliances, repainting, working on the garden or even a new kitchen renovation or DIY project – and your borrowing costs are expected to come in between $4k and $50k, a personal loan such as our Unsecured Personal Loan could be an option.
But for larger upgrades like adding rooms or an entire floor, where the costs will be much higher than $50k, you might also want to consider increasing your home loan amount or a new loan with our construction option.

**Repayment calculator: Any calculations made by you using this calculator is intended as a guide only. It is for illustrative purposes only and is based on the accuracy of the information provided. The calculation is not an offer of credit. The amount you can borrow may vary once you complete a loan application and all the details relevant to our lending criteria are captured and verified. The calculations should not be relied on for the purpose of making a decision whether to apply for a personal loan. Weekly and fortnightly repayment calculations – if your monthly repayments are $1000, fortnightly repayments are calculated by dividing $1000 by 2 and rounding up if required ($1000 ÷ 2 = $500). Weekly repayments are calculated by dividing $1000 by 4 and rounding up if required ($1000 ÷ 4 = $250).
