Yes, a construction loan can be used for major renovations (i.e. structural changes).

During construction, you’ll make interest only repayments on the loan (payable only on the amount of the loan that has been drawn down). This will change to principal and interest repayments on completion of the build. When construction is finished, a 100% interest offset sub-account, redraw and Visa debit card+ facilities are also available, at no extra cost.

Yes, we offer refinancing options for construction loans. If you’d like to chat about your options and see if we can help, simply get in touch online and we’ll aim to get back to you within one business day.  

There are options available. Non-bank lending options, like ours at Pepper Money, mean that it may still be possible to apply for a construction loan in Australia with a less-than-perfect credit score. We take a real life approach and look beyond your credit score to understand your situation and see what we can do to help.
