Renovating or extending
Many Hendra homes are older Queenslanders and post war houses that owners want to raise, extend or renovate. How you fund the work depends on its size.
- Smaller renovations can often be funded from your equity through a loan increase or redraw.
- Larger works, such as raising the house and building in underneath, usually need a construction loan. The lender pays the builder in stages as each part of the work is completed.
- Lending on the finished value. Some lenders will lend against the expected value once the work is done, based on your fixed price building contract and plans.
We line up the building contract, council approvals and the lender's requirements before work starts so progress payments run on time. Character controls apply to some Brisbane streets, so check with Brisbane City Council early. Read more about construction loans.
Upsizing to a bigger block
Families moving to Hendra often have a smaller home to sell first. We work out what you can borrow, whether bridging finance or a simultaneous settlement suits you, and how to set up the new loan with an offset account so your savings reduce the interest you pay.
Using your equity
If you have owned your Hendra home for a while, its equity may help fund a renovation or an investment property. We set up separate loan splits so personal and investment borrowing stay apart, which keeps your records clear for your accountant.
Reviewing your loan as the family grows
A new baby, a change from two incomes to one or a return to work all affect your loan. We review it after settlement to check the rate, features and repayments still suit you, and help you ask your lender for better pricing when it is due.
