Expert advice on Constructions Loan in Eltham

A construction loan is designed to mirror the building process and unlike a regular home loan, the principal loan amount is released in stages, known as progress payments. As a borrower, you only pay interest on the amount you have drawn down, instead of the full amount which can be helpful in minimising the cost of the construction loan while you're still paying rent elsewhere.

Are house and land packages a good idea?

Over the last decade, house and land packages have seen a surge in popularity and for good reason. What once was an incredibly complicated process has become a lot easier, opening the possibility of a new home to many first home buyers and families alike. However, many of these developers have their own lender on board to offer customers, and they don't usually come with competitive rates.

Our expert Construction Loans team in Eltham will work with both you and your builder to come up with the most effective option so that you have the finance you need to see your dream home come to life. Whether you're buying land first, or a complete house and land package - we can help.

Construction Loan FAQs

How do construction loans work?

A construction loan is paid out in stages, where the borrower progressively draws down on the funds as they need them. This means the borrower only has to pay interest on the amount they have already used. Construction loans can typically have a shorter term, higher interest rates and carry stricter eligibility requirements. It's important to chat with us - your local team of experts on Construction Loans - so you know you have the right construction loan in place before you break ground.

What do I need to apply for a construction loan?

When applying for a construction loan, you will need a few key documents like a signed building contract, payment schedule and detailed schedule of works, as well as council-approved construction plans. That's on top of the documentation you have to provide to prove your income, debts and eligibility. It might sound like a lot, but our Construction Loans team in Eltham have got you covered! We'll let you know what you need to provide and then manage it from there.

What if I just want to buy land before building?

In many cases, you can buy land in an area you love before going out and finding a builder to construct your dream home. Depending on your timeline, you might need a vacant land loan instead of a construction loan to purchase the land. In that case, you would simply borrow the entire amount at once and are free to then secure a construction loan when it comes time to build. At Mortgage Choice in Eltham, we have over 35 lenders on our panel, giving us plenty of different loan types, options and structures to meet your need - whatever your goals are.
