FAQ – How to build equity in your home
To increase the value of your property, there are ways to increase the equity in your home.
- Making upgrades/ renovations can boost the market value of your home. But to avoid overcapitalising, it’s important to consider how much you’ll actually need to borrow. Getting quotes up front is important and speak to others in your local area who have recently renovated to compare.
- Make larger or more frequent repayments - This can help build useable equity by reducing your loan balance.
- Make lump sum payments
- Link your account to 100% offset - You can reduce the amount of interest you pay by linking an eligible transaction account to a 100% offset facility. This can help you save on interest charged on your existing loan and build equity faster than think!!
