Frequently Asked Questions
How do construction loan repayments work?
During construction, you typically only pay interest on funds drawn. Once complete, the loan converts to a standard principal and interest home loan.
What deposit do I need for a construction loan?
Most lenders require 20% of the total cost (land + build). Some allow less with LMI. You'll also need funds for council fees and other costs.
Can I get a construction loan for an owner-builder project?
Yes, but options are more limited. Lenders typically require higher deposits and may have stricter requirements for owner-builders.
