Create $100k from $11k to build Granny Flat

Hi all, just running a refinancing scenario (Well a theoretical one anyway) and looking for some input\critique on the theories.

It follows on from this post here: http://www.somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73811


  1. Purchase price = $447'000 (3 months ago)
    Current LVR = 91.5% (LMI capitalised)

  2. Renovations\Repair
    Paint: $1k
    Carpet: $950
    Blinds: $950
    Laundry to 2nd Bath\Laundry: 4k
    Kitchen: 3k
    Front fence repair: 1k
    Side fence repair: 1k
    Total: $11'900

  3. Revaluation (6 months after purchase)
    Look to get re-valued at Purchase price + (Reno cost *2) $447'000 + ($11'900 *2)
    ∴reval = $470′ 800
    LVR after reval ≈ 86.8%

  4. Renovation Loan (approx. 7 to 8 months after purchase)
    Start value = $470'800
    Build cost = $100k
    Note: Look for finance option that will allow us to use the estimated value on completion of the renovation @ 90%LVR

    Target End value = $570'800
    Maximum LVR 90%: ($570'800/10) *9 = $513'720
    Amount available to borrow: $513'720 - $409'000 (original loan)
    ∴ Funds available to finance Granny Flat
    $104'720

The main questions I have are:
Is this roughly how things are calculated and;
Do these renovation loans that take into end value even exist with an LVR of 90%.

Also, what are your opinions on the rush from first home owners getting in before the stamp duty concession is changed. Will it increase the value of existing properties in that FHOG price range?

Thanks
