BENEFITS
When the value of your property has increased since your initial purchase, or you have paid off a considerable amount of your bond, you can apply for an additional bond. In today’s dynamic financial landscape, there are various reasons why individuals may consider taking out a further/additional home loan.
- Home Renovations: Planning to upgrade your home? An additional home loan can provide the funds needed to turn your renovation dreams into reality, adding value to your property or increasing income potential by adding an income generating addition to your property.
- Debt Consolidation: Struggling to manage multiple debts? Consolidating debts through an additional home loan can streamline payments and potentially lower interest rates, helping you regain financial control. Once you have increased your cash-flow, you can opt to pay additional into your home loan, to reduce the term faster.
- Education Expenses: Funding higher education for yourself or a family member? An additional home loan can help cover tuition fees and related expenses, ensuring educational aspirations are within reach.
- Unexpected Expenses: Life is unpredictable, and unexpected expenses may arise. An additional home loan can serve as a safety net, providing financial flexibility during challenging times.

PRE-ASSESSMENT & SUBMISSION PROCESS
Before applying for a home loan, a pre-assessment ensures a smooth process.
- Credit Check: A clean credit report with no adverse listings boosts your application success.
- Affordability Check: DEBT2BOND will assess your income, debt, and living expenses to determine affordability.
- Application Process: DEBT2BOND submits, motivates, and follows up with multiple banks. Once approved in principle, a property valuation is conducted. If sufficient, a Final Approval is issued, including homeowners insurance, and registration instructions are sent to attorneys.
- Credit check warning: Avoid taking on new debt or maximizing credit, as it may jeopardize the application during final credit checks.
- Important: If you plan to use funds from your home loan for major purchases, debt consolidation, or shortening your bond term, we suggest making extra payments to quickly reduce the capital amount. The exact amount will vary based on the current variable interest rate for your home loan.
COSTS
- Initiation Fee: This fee is charged by the new financial institution upon approval of your application. It can be paid in cash or, more commonly, added to the capital amount of your bond.
- Registration Cost: This is the fee charged by the attorneys appointed to register your new bond, calculated based on the registered bond amount.
- DEBT2BOND Professional Fee: This fee applies only to successfully approved & accepted home loans and is deducted from the proceeds on the date of registration. If your home loan application is not approved, there will be no charge. DEBT2BOND prioritizes transparency and client-focused service, ensuring fees are only incurred upon successful approval. We do not require any upfront payments, making the bond application process as affordable and stress-free as possible.
BOND REGISTRATION PROCESS
After your home loan application is approved by the financial institution and you accept the offer, the process proceeds as follows:
- Instruction to Registration Attorney: Upon accepting the Final Approval, the registration attorneys are instructed to initiate the registration of the new "switched" bond. They will liaise with the existing bank’s cancellation attorneys to cancel the current bond.
- Document Signing: Once all conditions of the new bond are satisfied, the registration attorneys will contact you to sign the required documents. After signing, they will prepare the paperwork for lodgement at the Deeds Office.
- Deeds Office Registration: The bond registration typically takes 7–14 business days after lodgement, provided all conditions are fulfilled. Once registered, the attorneys will disburse funds from the new bond to settle the existing bond, cover costs, fees, and any specified accounts.
- Confirmation Letter: The new financial institution will issue a confirmation letter detailing repayment terms once the bond is registered.
