Equity in a property is the difference between its market value and the outstanding loan balance owed on it. For example, if a property is worth $800,000 with a $500,000 loan, then the equity amount is $300,000.

Find Your Perfect Construction Loan Solution

Let's discuss your construction loan needs. We’re here to help.

Borrowing to Build

These types of mortgages work a little differently from standard home loans. Construction home loans are generally more complex as they involve multiple ‘progress payments,’ also known as loan drawdowns.

Instead of your lender providing the full amount at once, they’ll release funds throughout your building journey. The funds will be issued to your builder once they have completed each stage, in line with your agreed contract. This ensures your build is completed to schedule and in agreement with the signed building plans.

Residential construction loans generally have interest-only repayments throughout the build phase and then revert to P&I once the property is completed. Also, you’ll only pay interest on the total loan amount that’s been released, which means your repayments will be lower in the interest-only period or the earlier stages of the build phase.

Construction Loan Pre-approval

If you’re looking to sign a fixed price building contract sometime soon, it’s recommended to apply for a construction loan pre-approval. A pre-approval is a written confirmation from a bank stating how much money they are willing to lend you through progress payments.

Getting pre-approved for finance helps you understand your budget, and boosts your confidence when signing a contract. We always ensure the process is as fast as possible, so you can start looking at house and land options sooner.

Renovation Loans

If you’re looking to complete major renovations on your home or investment property, you have a few different loan options. Depending on how much cash is required, you could refinance and access existing equity to fund the renovation. This option is very straightforward and won’t require construction finance.

If you don’t have enough equity in your home, you’ll most likely need a construction loan. For the bank to lend you the required funds, they’ll need a signed building contract and a valuation showing the future property value once the renovations are complete. This will allow you to borrow against any equity increase in the property.

Our team will explain all of your available options and calculate exactly how much you can borrow and get through progress payments. We can also recommend a property valuer and order the required valuation on your behalf.

Can I meet with a broker after business hours?

Yes, our brokers are available after hours and on weekends for appointments. Clients have the option of meeting with a broker at our Hobart office or fully at distance through a combination of phone, email, and video meeting.

What if I’m credit impaired?

We have multiple solutions for clients who are credit impaired. Certain banks are willing to lend to these types of applicants, but usually at a higher home loan interest rate and fees.

What separates us from other brokers, is that we have a potential way to get credit impaired clients a standard home loan with normal interest rates and fees. If you’d like to find out more, book an appointment with one of our mortgage brokers to discuss.

What is Equity?

Does stamp duty apply to house and land packages?

When you buy a property in Australia, you’ll usually pay land transfer duty (also called stamp duty). It’s a government tax to have a property transferred into your name, and the amount will vary based on the purchase price of the property.

When building a property though, you won’t have to pay stamp on the full purchase price, only on the land value. This is one of the biggest advantages of constructing a new property, as you can potentially save tens of thousands of dollars.
