Renovation Loans
The right renovation can add enormous value — but the wrong finance structure can drain your borrowing capacity or trap your equity.
How the process works
We assess your current equity, borrowing capacity and reno goals.
We structure the right loan(s) — avoiding cross-collateral mistakes.
We help you plan your budget and timeline

Renovations in Perth aren’t “one-size-fits-all”
Perth has one of Australia’s tightest property markets. Stock is limited, construction costs remain high, and most homes needing upgrades sit in the 1970–2000 era.
At Matched Finance, we specialise in renovation and upgrade strategies specifically for Perth’s housing stock, including villas, townhouses, 60s–90s character homes and investment properties.
