Your home deserves to grow with you. Whether you’re upgrading your kitchen, adding extra space, or finally fixing what’s been on your to-do list, My Personal Broker makes home improvement finance simple, affordable, and stress-free.
We’ll help you find a competitive loan that fits your budget, with no hidden fees and real people guiding you through every step.
Why Choose a Home Improvement Loan?
A personal loan for home improvements can make it easier to bring your vision to life — without dipping into your savings.
Use your loan for:
- Renovations or extensions – add more space or update your layout
- Bathroom or kitchen upgrades – modernise where it matters most
- Outdoor projects – landscaping, decks, or entertainment areas
- Essential repairs or maintenance – fix what’s urgent without delay
- Energy-efficient upgrades – invest in solar, insulation, or sustainable systems
Whatever your project, we’ll help you get the funds you need — quickly and confidently.
Finance Options That Fit Your Plans
Not all renovations are created equal — and neither are all loans.
We work with a range of lenders so you can choose the option that best suits your project and timeline.
Popular options include:
- Secured home improvement loans – backed by an asset for a lower rate
- Unsecured loans – faster approval, no collateral required
- Fixed or variable rates – choose the repayment structure that fits your lifestyle
- Flexible terms – borrow for a few months or several years
Your broker will explain the benefits of each option and help you make a confident, informed choice.
Home Improvement Loan vs Using Equity or a Credit Card
Before you start your renovation, it’s worth understanding your options.
Here’s how a home improvement loan compares to using home equity or a credit card:
| Feature | Home Improvement Loan | Home Equity Loan / Line of Credit | Credit Card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approval Speed | Fast (often 24–48 hours) | Slower, may involve property valuation | Instant (for smaller amounts) |
| Interest Rates | Fixed or variable, often lower than credit cards | Lower, but linked to your mortgage | Higher ongoing rates |
| Security Required | Optional (secured or unsecured) | Secured against your property | Unsecured |
| Best For | Renovations, upgrades, repairs | Major home projects | Small purchases or emergencies |
| Flexibility | Flexible loan terms and repayments | Long-term commitment | Minimum monthly repayments |
Our advice
If you’re planning small to medium upgrades, a home improvement loan is usually faster, simpler, and more flexible.
For larger structural projects, refinancing or using equity may be worth comparing.

Case Study: Turning a Tired Home into Their Dream Space
Ben and Lisa, a young family from Newcastle, had lived in their home for nearly ten years. They loved their neighbourhood but were feeling cramped and frustrated with their outdated kitchen and small living area.
Rather than selling and starting over, they decided to renovate — but with two kids and a busy schedule, they didn’t want the hassle or risk of refinancing their mortgage.
That’s where My Personal Broker stepped in.
We helped Ben and Lisa secure a flexible home improvement loan that covered their renovation costs while keeping repayments affordable. Within weeks, they had access to funds, and their project was underway.
The results:
- They completed their kitchen and living renovation on time and within budget.
- Their repayments were manageable — and clear from the start.
- They added significant value to their home and improved their lifestyle without touching their savings.
“My Personal Broker made everything straightforward. We had quotes from the builder, and they handled the rest. The process was fast, honest, and completely stress-free.”

Now, Ben and Lisa have the space they always wanted — and peace of mind knowing their finances are under control.
