Close up: Renovation loan
You may be thinking “what is a loan for renovation and how can you use it?” Well, Nifty Loans offers personal loans for many reasons, including home renovation! If you wish to add a small boost to your funds for a new kitchen, bathroom or perhaps, new decor, then you can apply for one of our unsecured personal loans. If you need a larger boost to your funds, then, consider our medium personal loans starting from $2,100 – $4,600 or a large secured loan of $5,000 – $15,000. Any loan over $5,000 requires equity such as a motorbike, caravan, car or boat to secure it.
You may be! Nifty Loans wants to provide loans for any Australian who is seeking easy finance. However, we do have a few little requirements to meet before you apply for one of our renovation loans.

And that’s it! Just those four little requirements and you’re eligible to apply with Nifty. It’s that easy. So, before applying for quick loans, make sure to check off all the requirements on the list.
We already think our application is super speedy, but we do have a hyper-speed mode and we think that time is money, so we’ll share it with you!

Top renovation tips
1. Research
You may be dreaming of hot pinks walls or retro-style features; however, that may not suit the current market. When renovating your property keep in mind the selling price, even if you’re not thinking of selling for a while. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with watching a few renovating shows (it’s research, right?).
2. Budget and plan
Before you dive into a major and small home renovation, begin with a plan and most importantly, a budget. Find out how much you wish to spend, then coordinate your plan around your realistic budget.
3. Look after your front door
The front door is the first impression you or anyone else has of your home. And they say first impressions count for everything. So, if your front door needs some TLC, give it a little love by giving it a new colour or using elbow grease to make it shine! Home renovation doesn’t have to break the bank.
4. Paint and lighting
When you deciding to paint your living room a different shade, keep in mind how the light will affect the colour and size of the room. Darker shades tend to make a room look smaller, however, it could potentially be cosier, so it depends on what you want from your space.
5. It’s all about the storage
Think of storage when you’re renovating your home. It’s always a good idea to create more space when you have the opportunity.
6. Natural light
When you’re renovating a space, take every opportunity to allow some natural light into the area.
7. Give your bathroom a touch of love
We can spend a lot of times in our bathrooms between showering, grooming, and other things…so it’s important our bathrooms are lovely to be in. If you feel like your bathroom makes you sad it may need a touch of love.
We may not be renovation experts, however, we are loan experts. And we know that a renovation loan can kickstart a dream renovation project that’s in the works.
