What is a Handy Finance Renovation Loan?

With a Handy Finance Home Improvement or Renovation Loan, you’re investing in making your house a true home. Renovation loans are a type of personal loan designed specifically for home improvements.  This includes projects like:

  • Remodelling your kitchen,
  • Upgrading your bathroom,
  • Repainting interiors or exteriors,
  • Landscaping your garden,
  • Adding an extension to your current home.  

With Handy Finance, you get the flexibility and support to enhance your living space, making your home renovation projects a reality. Financing these home improvements can be for your benefit or to improve the value of your property for future sale.

Where can I use a renovation loan?

In Australia, renovation loans are separate from home loans, which can help you finance the purchase of a house. You can use a renovation loan to install a swimming pool or solar panels at your home, as these are considered home improvements. However, at Handy Finance, we also offer tailored swimming pool loans and green loans that cover upgrading to sustainable technology, including installing solar panels. If you are unsure, contact the Handy Finance team today to help you choose the right option for your loan. Whatever option you choose, you’ll find competitive interest rates and flexible loan terms tailored to suit your unique financial circumstances.

Why choose Handy Finance for your home improvement loan?

Handy Finance offers flexible home improvement loans tailored to fit your budget, helping you upgrade your space without financial strain. With competitive interest rates and terms from one to seven years, you can choose repayment options that work best for you—weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.

Partner with Handy Finance, and gain a trusted ally dedicated to making your renovation plans come to life. We’re here to help turn your home improvement dreams into a stress-free reality.

Basics of Home Renovation Loans

A home renovation loan from Handy Finance can be used for a variety of home improvement projects, including

  • Internal or external home repairs
  • Kitchen or bathroom remodelling
  • New furniture or appliances for your home
  • Swimming pool installation
  • New exteriors
  • Adding storage space to your home
  • Green upgrades and additions to your home – solar panels, better insulation, new windows
  • Adding extensions to your existing house
  • Garden landscaping costs

At Handy Finance, we’ve made getting a home renovation loan as straightforward as possible. You can apply online for your home renovation loan and receive an indicative decision within minutes. Once your loan application is approved, you will receive the funds in your bank account within 24 hours. We offer home renovation loans of up to $75,000, with loan terms of one to seven years.

When considering the best renovation loan, it is important to consider a few key factors. You’ll want to make sure you know the interest rate offered, any fees involved, and how flexible your payment options are.

At Handy Finance, we offer you interest rates and loan terms tailored to meet your specific financial circumstances. Our renovation loan amounts, terms and repayment options are flexible, and our interest rates are fixed. Our team of loan experts are here to assist you through the application process and beyond, ensuring that you end up with a financing option that can bring your dream home improvement project to life.

Using a personal loan for renovations offers several advantages. At Handy Finance, we prioritise quick evaluation and approval of our loans. Once your home improvement loan is approved, funds will be released within 24 hours. It allows you to start your project as soon as possible without waiting to save the total amount. You also benefit from fixed rates and flexible repayment options, helping you budget effectively.

Loan Terms and Amounts

The final amount you borrow is tailored to your needs – so the exact amount will depend on your circumstances and the scope of your project. Handy Finance Home Renovation Loans range between $2,001 and $100,000, depending on how much you need, your income and your credit rating.

We offer terms of between one and seven years for our home improvement loans. This means your loan will be repaid in weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments over one to seven years. You can nominate a loan term when you apply for your loan online.

No, providing security is not necessarily a requirement – at Handy Finance, we offer unsecured and secured loans for home renovation. Whether you are eligible for an unsecured or secured loan depends on your financial circumstances.

Secured loans use an asset as collateral for your loan. This collateral could be something like a car. Secured loans can result in a lower interest rate, as the collateral acts as security against the loan if you can’t meet your repayment terms. Unsecured loans don’t require security, but you may find slightly higher interest rates.

We only offer fixed interest rates on our loans, including our renovation loans. Fixed-rate loans are completely transparent from day one – because the rate doesn’t change, you know exactly how much you will be repaying and how often for your loan. At Handy Finance, we offer flexible repayment terms. You’ll repay your loan over one to seven years in weekly, monthly or fortnightly instalments.

The final terms of your loan, including the interest rate, are determined by your loan application. Our Handy Finance loan experts will offer you an interest rate based on your credit history and situation. This interest rate is always fixed and is included in your regular loan repayments.

With our free quote, you can find your personalised rate in just a few minutes. Please note that this rate is just an estimate and won’t affect your credit score.

Traditional bank lenders have higher operating costs, resulting in higher rates. At Handy Finance, we’ve invested heavily in technology to cut operating costs, cut turnaround times and give you a better deal on finance.

Application and Approval Process

Once you apply online for your home renovation loan, you’ll receive an indicative quote within minutes. Timeliness can make all the difference when accessing finance, so we prioritise processing your application.

Once your home renovation loan is approved, Handy Finance works swiftly to ensure the funds are transferred to you as soon as possible. Generally, once you’ve been approved for your home improvement loan, you can access your funds within 24 hours.

To be eligible for a Handy Finance Home Improvement Loan, you must be:

  • An Australian citizen or permanent resident
  • 18 years of age or older
  • Have no history of financial hardship with other loan providers
  • Have a regular source of income via employment (including self-employment)
Repayment and Fees

You can repay all Handy Finance loans for up to seven years. Repayments are made in weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments.

Repayments on Handy Finance loans can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You must use direct debit for all scheduled repayments. To make repayments ahead of schedule, log into your borrower dashboard and do so using BPAY.

If financial hardship makes repayments difficult to meet, please contact the Handy Finance team at 1300 990 115 or [email protected].

At Handy Finance, we believe in flexible financing options. We know that financial circumstances can change. This is why our home renovation loans have a $0 early repayment fee. You can pay off your loan faster without any added costs. This includes changing your repayment schedule – if you’d like to move from monthly to weekly repayments, all you need to do is contact our loan specialists, who can arrange this change for you.
