Construction Loans

When considering a new build or major home renovations, understanding construction loans can be vital. At Innovative Home Loans, we help clients access Construction Loan options from banks and lenders across Australia, ensuring you find the best fit for your needs. Whether you're planning to demolish an existing property or buy off the plan, we can guide you through the process with ease and expertise, making your dream home a reality.

Construction loans differ from standard home loans, as they are specifically tailored for projects that involve building or significant renovation work. One of the key points to understand is the progressive drawdown feature. This means that funds are released in stages, or instalments, aligned with the various stages of the project. Our streamlined application process ensures that you only charge interest on the amount drawn down, which can help manage costs effectively. Interest-only repayment options are available, allowing you to focus on completing your project without the burden of full loan repayments until your home is ready.

When applying for a loan, it’s essential to understand factors such as interest rate and loan amount. Our team can assist you in making informed decisions that align with your financial goals and project requirements. We work with you to create a Progressive Payment Schedule that matches the construction milestones, ensuring timely payments to your registered builder and sub-contractors such as plumbers and electricians. This schedule will also take into account council plans, permits, and any council regulations that may affect your build.

Another aspect to consider is the ‘as if complete’ valuation. This appraisal estimates your property's value once the construction or renovation is finished. It's crucial for determining the maximum loan amount you may be eligible for. Additionally, our experts provide guidance on council restrictions and development applications, helping you secure suitable land and commence building within a set period from the Disclosure Date.

For those interested in buying off the plan or undertaking significant home improvements, understanding potential additional payments and Out of Contract Items not included in initial agreements is crucial. Our services ensure you are well-prepared for these potential costs. We also advise on Progressive Drawing Fees that might apply as funds are drawn progressively throughout the project.

Choosing the ideal location and price range requires careful consideration of your long-term vision. Whether you're looking to build in Caringbah, the Sutherland Shire, or anywhere in Australia, our team can help you make a plan that aligns with your lifestyle and financial goals. We ensure that every step of the process, from applying for a loan to managing progress payments, is as smooth as possible.
