How can I find the best home renovation loan?
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 can offer 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 could end up with a financing option that can bring your dream home improvement project to life.
What are the advantages of renovating with a personal loan?
Using a personal loan for renovations can offer several advantages. At Handy Finance, we prioritise quick evaluation and approval of our loans. Once your home improvement loan is approved, funds can be settled within 24 hours. It can allow you to start your project as soon as possible without waiting to save the total amount. You can also benefit from fixed rates and flexible repayment options, helping you budget effectively.
How much can I borrow with a Handy Finance home renovation loan?
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, credit rating, and our evaluation scorecard.
What's the minimum and maximum loan term for a home renovation loan?
We can offer terms of between one and seven years for our home improvement loans. This means your loan will be repaid in either weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments over one to seven years. You can nominate a loan term when you apply for your loan online.
Do I need to provide security for my home renovation loan?
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 can depend 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.
Will the interest rate on my home renovation loan be fixed or variable?
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.
How is my interest calculated on a home renovation loan?
The final terms of your loan, including the interest rate, are determined by your loan application assessment. Our Handy Finance loan experts may 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 could find your indicative personalised rate in just a few minutes. Please note that this rate is just an estimate and won’t affect your credit score.
How do you offer lower rates than traditional lenders?
Traditional bank lenders often have high operating costs, which may result in higher rates. Handy Finance aims to keep rates low by keeping operating costs down and remaining focused on our mission – allowing people to live life to the fullest.
When will I get a decision on my home renovation loan application?
Once you apply online for your home renovation loan, you can receive an indicative quote within minutes. Timeliness can make all the difference when accessing finance, so we prioritise processing your application.
How long till I receive funds for my home renovation loan?
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.
What are the eligibility criteria for a home renovation loan?

- An Australian citizen or permanent resident
- 18 years of age or older
