FAQs

Common questions about Home Renovation Loans

What is a home renovation loan?

A home renovation loan is a financing option that can be taken if you require capital to pay for home renovation works in your new or current house. Such loans usually have lower interest rates than personal loans and come with longer tenure periods. You make monthly payments to pay off the loan, which includes the interest.

OCBC home renovation loan packages can be taken up by Singaporeans or Singapore PRs through a single or joint application. You can use the One Advisor Home Portal to find the best interest rate or use the home improvement loan calculator.

How do I apply for the OCBC renovation loan for a new flat?

You will need to prepare your contractor’s quotation, proof of ownership of the property being renovated and renovation permit (if applicable).

Your contractor or interior designer may provide you with an invitation code, which you can include in your application, but you can also apply without one. Simply click on the ‘Apply online’ button to submit your application.

What’s the maximum loan amount I can get?

The amount of the renovation loan depends on the amount quoted by your contractor, as well as your repayment ability. You can borrow up to 6 times your monthly income or S$30,000, whichever is lower.

Find out how much loan you are eligible for by speaking to our loan specialists, or enquire about other products by OCBC Bank.
