We'll help you fund your new build or renovation

Getting a construction loan is a crucial step for those looking to build their dream home or undertake a significant renovation project. Construction Loans are specifically designed to provide funds in stages as the construction progresses, rather than as a lump sum upfront. Getting a construction loan can be complex, as in addition to understanding your financial situation, banks will generally need to understand the details of the build before providing approval. We can help you understand the process and make sure you have all the documentation required before submitting an application - saving you valuable time in getting your build underway.

Construction Loans operate differently to other types of loans with the funds being provided to pay builders and suppliers as the construction progresses. This means that you'll only pay interest on the funds you've accessed rather than the whole loan. Understanding how a Construction Loan operates and how it enables you to build or renovate is critical and we have the expertise to make sure you understand the process and get the right loan for you.

We're a proud member of the and can help with Construction Loans right across Australia. If you're looking to build or renovate, we have the expertise and experience to guide you through the process and make the right choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgage?

A fixed-rate mortgage has a set interest rate that remains constant for a specified period, providing stability in monthly repayments. A variable-rate mortgage has an interest rate that can fluctuate based on market conditions, potentially affecting your monthly payments.

What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?

LMI is a type of insurance that protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on their loan. It is usually required when the borrower's deposit is less than 20% of the property's value.

How much deposit do I need to buy a home?

The deposit required depends on the lender and the type of loan you're applying for. In Australia, a common rule of thumb is a 20% deposit, but some lenders may accept lower deposits with the inclusion of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

Are there any fees for using a mortgage broker?

Many mortgage brokers in Australia do not charge fees to borrowers. They are compensated by the lenders they work with. However, it's important to clarify this with the broker upfront and understand any potential fees before proceeding.

What documents do I need to provide to a mortgage broker?

Commonly required documents include proof of income (payslips, tax returns), proof of identity (passport, driver's license), employment information, details of existing debts, and statements of savings and assets.

How do mortgage brokers get paid?

Mortgage brokers are usually paid through commissions from the lenders. When a borrower successfully secures a loan through a broker, the lender pays the broker a commission for their services. This commission doesn't typically impact the cost of the loan for the borrower.

How long does the mortgage application process take?

The mortgage application process can vary depending on the complexity of your financial situation, the lender's processes, and market conditions. On average, it can take a few weeks to a couple of months from application to settlement.

How much can I borrow for a home loan?

The amount you can borrow depends on various factors such as your income, expenses, credit history, and the lender's assessment criteria. A mortgage broker can help you determine your borrowing capacity based on your individual circumstances.

Why should I use a mortgage broker instead of going directly to a bank?

Mortgage brokers have access to a wide range of lenders and loan products, offering you a broader choice than what a single bank can provide. They can save you time by comparing multiple options and potentially help you find better terms or rates.

What is a mortgage broker and what do they do?

A mortgage broker is a professional who acts as an intermediary between borrowers and lenders to help people secure home loans. They assess your financial situation, research available mortgage options, and assist in finding the most suitable loan for your needs.
