What is a Home Improvement Loan?

A home improvement loan is simply a loan (often a personal loan) used to fund home repairs or renovation projects.

As these projects can often be expensive, you might not have the cash on hand to pay upfront, or perhaps you prefer not to dig deep into your savings. But with a home improvement loan, you could even potentially increase your home’s value by a greater amount in the long run.

We offer home improvement loans from $2,100 to $25,000, with loan terms ranging from 9 - 48 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Want to know more? Find out the answers to the most common queries about our Home Improvement Loans.

Besides renovation or home improvement loans, you could also use the following:

  • Construction loans: A type of loan for those who are building a home or conducting a major renovation. With a construction loan, you'll likely borrow an amount similar to that of a home loan (i.e. hundreds of thousands of dollars) in instalments as your home is being built.
  • Home equity loans: If you have an existing mortgage with equity, you could draw on this equity to pay for a home renovation instead.

These financing options are generally more suitable for larger renovations, however. For smaller projects up to $25,000, an online loan with a lender like Jacaranda could be your best bet.

The basic eligibility criteria you must meet before submitting an application:
  • Be at least 19 years of age.
  • Be employed on a permanent or casual basis.
  • Have a consistent income going into your own bank account for the last 90 days.
  • Be in control of your finances and be handling existing financial commitments comfortably.
  • Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident with a fixed address.
  • Have an active email address, phone number, and online banking account in your name that belongs to you.

We accept a wider range of credit history than a bank or a prime lender, but we do not recommend submitting an application if:

  • You are currently or recently bankrupt (you must be three years discharged and in control of your finances)
  • You are not comfortably repaying your existing financial obligations

Your home improvement loan with Jacaranda can be secured or unsecured, as we offer both types of loans. However, our unsecured loans are only available for loan amounts up to $15,000. Anything more than this and you must provide security.

Our loan application process has been designed to be as simple and quick as possible, as we know how important it is to receive your funds in a timely manner. How quickly you can apply for a personal loan and receive your funds will depend on your situation.

Applying for a loan with Jacaranda Finance takes most people 5-12 minutes1, but it could take longer depending on a number of factors such as but not limited to how fast you are at typing or if you have all the required information on hand.

After applying, most customers get an outcome on their loan application on the same day during normal business hours once we have received all of the supporting information we require. We do not guarantee same-day outcomes for all customers.2

Once an applicant has been approved and they have signed a contract, we automatically attempt to release the money to the applicant's bank account. Most customers have a New Payments Platform (NPP) bank account and receive the money in their bank account within 60 seconds. For other customers, the money will be available overnight on weekdays and overnight the following business day if approved on a weekend or public holiday.3

Jacaranda offers three loan products with varying loan amounts that you could borrow:
