What are bond loans?
Bond loans are sums of money borrowed from a lender in order to pay a rental bond. These cash loans are a quick and hassle-free way of getting access to the money you need for the bond on a new house.
Why use a rental bond loan?
In most states, rental bonds are usually the equivalent of up to four weeks’ rent. There are some slight differences in VIC, QLD, WA and SA, but it can be a significant upfront cost. If you need to secure a rental quickly, a bond loan can be an appealing option.
With a rental bond loan from Red Tree Finance, your application can be submitted from anywhere on any device, as it’s 100% online. There’s no need to queue at the bank or gather together mountains of paperwork. All we need is some current bank statements, employment payslips and two forms of ID. You can get a rental bond loan from Red Tree Finance up to $5,000. You might want to borrow slightly more than your bond amount to help cover some of the other associated costs, like:
- Moving house
- Paying bills, like connection and disconnection fees
- New household appliances
- Removalist costs
- New furniture
