HomePay is a renovation-exclusive escrow payment mobile app that makes renovation payments safe & secure for both homeowners & interior designers. With HomePay's system, homeowners can feel assured that their renovation payments are securely held in escrow and only released progressively as works get completed. This process effectively minimises the potential risk of irresponsible delivery of works & scams during renovations.
With the year-on-year growth in cases of renovation scams and firms abruptly closing down during projects, we are dedicated to offering a more secure and reliable solution for the industry. HomePay enables homeowners to make progressive payments aligned with the renovation progress and holds payments in escrow until the completion of the work. This ensures the effective delivery of the renovation deliverables.
With HomePay’s escrow payment system, 50% of each progressive payment tranche will be held in escrow until works are completed and approved by you.
As payments are held in escrow, if your engaged Interior Design firm ceases operations suddenly, HomePay will get another vendor in to complete the remaining works according to plan at no additional cost, ensuring that you can still achieve your dream home!
A friendly administration fee of $200 is in-place for homeowners to secure their renovations! However, follow our socials closely and look out for any new promotional codes and offers.
