Can I apply for a loan when I own my property outright?
Yes, you can apply by completing a refinance application with us! Unloan offers refinancing for properties that are owned outright allowing customers to access equity in their property.
How do I apply when I own my property outright?
You will need to complete a refinance home loan application via the Unloan website. To start an application, go to http://www.unloan.com.au and click ‘Get Started’ located on the top right of the page.
In the application, you will need to enter the details of your income, expenses and liabilities.
Once you reach the 'Debts and Liabilities' section please enter any liabilities you have such as a credit card and/or personal loan. As you own your property outright, the application will confirm that you have not added a home loan to the application.
Please select 'Continue' and you will commence to the “Set Up Your Unloan” section, from here you will be able to request your cash-out amount.
How much can I refinance with Unloan?
We offer loans from $10,000 to a maximum of $10,000,000, subject to credit approval.
We will require that you remain under a loan to value ratio (LVR) of 80% or less. When you refinance your home with us, we’ll get an updated valuation of your property to make sure your loan-to-value ratio is not too high.
More information regarding our eligibility criteria can be viewed here.
Can I consolidate other debts I have when refinancing?
We do offer debt consolidation at Unloan, provided you remain under the required 80% LVR.
Unloan factors in debt consolidation when determining your borrowing capacity. You can also select any debts you want to be consolidated into your new home loan in this section. More information about debt consolidation can be found here.
I have completed my application, what happens next?
After you have completed your application including your income and ID verification, you will be assigned to one of our Unloan lending specialists. They will be in touch to discuss the next steps, in the days following the application submission.

Unloan offers a 0.01% per annum discount on the Unloan Live-In rate or Unloan Invest rate upon settlement. On each anniversary of your loan’s settlement date (or the day prior to the anniversary of your loan’s settlement date if your loan settled on 29th February and it is a leap year) the margin discount will increase by a further 0.01% per annum up to a maximum discount of 0.30% per annum. Unloan may withdraw this discount at any time. The discount is applied for each loan you have with Unloan.
