Optimise Property Values with Affordable Pool Financing

Australians love their backyard swimming pools and installing a pool can be a great addition to the property. A pool has potential to add value to the property as a sought-after feature by many buyers, as well as enhancing the lifestyle of the residents. But any potential increase in property value can be dependent on the overall cost of the project – both the installation and the financing.

How Jade Help

We provide financing options for new pools, upgrades and repairs and rectification works. Upgrades may include installing solar systems to power the filtration and/or to heat the pool and other works.

Pool Financing Options

The size and scope of the project can determine the type of lending product with financing for pools available as a Construction Loan with a drawdown facility, or with a Personal Loan with a monthly repayment schedule. Our brokers discuss the scope of the project with our customers to determine the most suitable lending option.

Key Pool Construction Stages

New pool construction typically involves a number of key stages: excavation, concreting, tiling and finishing, installation of the filtration equipment, and finally, filling. Some homeowners may also require landscaping of the property to complement the new swimming pool.

Specific Funding Solutions

All these stages may be project-managed under a single contract from the one pool construction company, or, separate companies may be involved, requiring separate payments. Our brokers work with individual property owners to source and structure the funding arrangements that suit the specific design and installation.

Conditional Loan Approval

As a major change to the property, local councils will typically require a development application for a new pool to be submitted with the plans. Lenders will require these council-approved plans to be submitted in the funding applications with other documentation. Conditional loan approval is given based on the initial plans with final approval after all documentation is provided.

Consider Your Loan Options for Financing a Pool

The size of the swimming pool works can be the major determinant of the most suitable lending product. A major new pool may best be financed with a Construction Loan which includes drawdown facilities. The funds required to pay tradespeople at the different stages – excavation, concreting, etc, are accessed when needed. Interest is only charged on the funds used. Where a pool construction company is handling the project, they will typically require a schedule of payments at designated stages.

Construction Loans can provide homeowners with an affordable option when meeting the eligibility criteria. The amount approved will be subject to the equity in the property and the loan to value ratio, LVR. Up to 95% of the project value may be borrowed, where criteria is met.

Smaller pool constructions, upgrades and repair work may be financed with a Personal Loan. When approved, this funding option provides a fixed repayment schedule over a fixed term. Allowing homeowners to budget their pool installation with other ongoing expenses.

Both types of loans attract a variable interest rate, which our brokers source at the lowest available to meet the individual’s profile and requirements.

Extra items may be required, and we can work to have the entire costs, including landscaping, included in the funding. Speak with us about your options.

Eligibility Criteria and Application Process for Swimming Pool Loans

As with all finance applications, homeowners will need to meet the approval criteria in regard to credit profile, financial situation, earnings and outgoings. In determining the deposit required and hence the loan amount to be approved for Construction Loans, lenders will be assessing the LVR and the equity held in the property. Down payments can vary between 5% and 50% depending on the equity held and individual financial positions. The size and scope of the project and the lending product – Construction Loan or Personal Loan, are also key determinants in the approval process.

Documentation for the project is required with the application. Council approved plans as DA usually required for installation of a new swimming pool but may not be required for upgrades and other works to existing pools.

Lenders require the plans from the pool builder with a payment schedule. Initial approval can be received based on the initial plans. Final approval is given when the fully approved plans are provided with the necessary builder insurance policy details. Depending on the size and scope of the works, lenders may assign their own valuer to assess the works at various stages.

Personal Loan applications for smaller sized projects require details of income, assets, liabilities and other financial documentation.

While it may sound complex, our brokers ensure the application process is streamlined and straightforward. Guiding customers through each stage and personally handling discussions with lenders.

Applications can be submitted online or over the phone, with our services available Australia-wide.
