I have this thought in my mind, my current house is quite run down after 20+ years. I wish to refinance and cash out for renovation. In this case, is it better to go with top up loan or refinancing it? I'm on the old BLR -2.4 rate. What is the wiser things to do?

you can apply for top up loan instead of refinance the whole loan. BLR-2.4% is depend what is your effective rate now. Now market interest rate is around 3% to 4.9%

example, your house value at 500k, outstanding loan is 250k. Hence, Margin of finance is 90% which is 450k.
450k-250=200k

So you can apply top up loan for 200k. Subject to your house value and your income and commitment.
