Renovating your house can be an exciting yet challenging endeavour, especially for public servants looking to upgrade their family home. Whether you're adding a bathroom, remodelling the kitchen, or paying for landscaping, securing the right finance is crucial. Public Home Loans is here to guide you through the process, offering access to construction loan options from banks and lenders across Australia. Our role as a finance and mortgage broker is to help you understand interest rates, loan amounts, and the application process so you can confidently finance your house upgrade.
Understanding the financial aspects of renovating your house is essential for a smooth experience. Major home renovations often require a clear plan and a realistic price range. Before applying for a loan, consider council plans, permits, and any council restrictions that may affect your project. A detailed plan that includes construction milestones will not only keep your project on track but also help in determining the right loan amount. Public Home Loans can assist you in accessing building and construction loans that cater to these specific needs.
When it comes to financing your house upgrade, various options are available. A home renovation loan or a house renovation loan can be tailored to suit your specific needs. Progressive drawdown is a popular feature in construction loans, allowing you to only charge interest on the amount drawn down as needed. This means you pay interest only on the funds you have accessed, which can save money over time. As renovations progress, funds are released in instalments or progress payments, ensuring that plumbers, electricians, and other sub-contractors are paid promptly. A Progressive Payment Schedule helps manage these payments efficiently.
Using equity for renovation is another viable option. If you have built up equity in your home, a home loan top-up or a redraw facility can provide additional funds. These options allow you to finance your home renovation without the need for a separate loan. This can be particularly beneficial if you're considering a new build or significant improvements like adding a bedroom. Understanding these options and how they fit into your financial situation is where Public Home Loans can offer valuable assistance.
Applying for a loan involves several steps, but with the right guidance, it can be straightforward. Our team will help you gather necessary documentation and navigate the application process. We work closely with registered builders to ensure all aspects of your renovation are covered, from initial council plans to final permits. This comprehensive approach ensures that you have peace of mind throughout your home improvement journey.
Renovating or improving your home can significantly enhance its value and functionality. Whether you're upgrading your family home or embarking on major home renovations, having the right financial support is vital. Public Home Loans is committed to helping you achieve your renovation goals by providing access to tailored financial solutions. Our expertise as a finance and mortgage broker ensures that you have the best options available for your unique situation.
For public servants looking to embark on house renovations, Public Home Loans offers a supportive and knowledgeable partner in the finance sector. By understanding your needs and providing access to suitable loan options, we make financing your house upgrade a manageable task.

Carl has been amazing to work with. He was on the ball straight from the start with knowing all the information I would need to provide. He was quick to respond while others would not return communication for weeks. He managed to secure me a great product in a short amount of time, even while we are on opposite sides of the country. I highly recommend getting in touch with Carl, you won't look back.
