In terms of payment procedures, be informed that construction loans or building loans are not the same as the standard home loan. It is drawn down based on the stages of the construction. It means that a borrower typically pays interest rates only through the amount being drawn down. Personnel from the lenders will check every stage of the construction before the funds will be release and interest rates will be calculated based on this. The amount being paid to the builder is based on this breakdown. For the specific details on the breakdown of the construction and for further questions or concerns, you can check this article or simply talk to our mortgage brokers.
The criteria for our construction loan service are the following:
1. The builders Australian Business Number (ABN)
2. Builder license or licensed builder
3. Evidence of income depending on your earning status i.e. self-employed or PAYG.
4. Source of your deposit dependent on loan to value ratio (LVR)
Intellichoice has an array of construction home loan options from traditional construction home loans with higher LVR for those with less deposit, to low doc construction loans for those self-employed who have not completed all their tax reporting. Having brokers who have over 16 years’ experience in this field can make all the difference in getting your loan and therefore your home built quicker. Not all lenders have the appetite for construction loans and these are considered by the brokers at Intellichoice.
