Loan top-ups

A home loan top-up can be used for both renovations and extensions but also for many other purposes and can provide a relatively cheap source of funding by using your home as security for the loan.

Simpler Mortgage Broker

We can help you apply for a mortgage top-up to use for projects such as:

  • Renovations i.e. Kitchens and bathrooms

  • Landscaping

  • Installing a heating system

  • Insulation & double glazing

  • Additions i.e. extra room, second bathroom or sleepout

If you are planning to tackle renovations on your home, for example, putting in a new kitchen or bathroom, the best place to start is by getting a couple of different quotes so you can a) see how much it's roughly going to cost and b) you can compare different options and decide which is best. It also pays to remember that the cheapest is not always the best, the old saying ‘ you get what you pay for’ definitely rings true when it comes to house renovations so receiving a few quotes will help give you a better idea of where you stand.

Another tip when planning your renovation is to add 20% onto the final quote as quite often, you can get a few surprises pop up during the process. It is always better to plan for these at the start to avoid any frustration down the line.

The amount that you can borrow for your top up will depend on how much equity you have in your home and your ability to service the extra repayments. This is something we can work out quickly for you so you know where you stand and help you prioritise what needs to be done.
