How the Construction Loan Works?
Supporting clients with residential property construction loan
During the construction phase of the property, based on the usage plan the lenders provide an interest-only construction-loan which usually has a higher interest rate than standard fixed or variable rate home loan. The lenders deem this period to be a risky period which reflects the higher interest rate. You start paying the interest-only repayments of the borrowed amount once the progress payments are made to the builder after completing each agreed-upon phases. The bank or lender makes necessary inspection to make sure the construction is being done according to the contract before releasing the progress payments. Once the construction is complete the loan becomes either an owner-occupied or investment home loan with principal and interest repayments. Generally, the construction period requires a year and during that time you need constant interaction with the lenders to make sure the progress payment is on time and without any hiccup. Call us or send us a message today to find out more about how we can help you.
The usual limitations of the construction loan:
1. The construction loan is only for the construction period and usually interest-only
2. The bank releases the progress payments based on the fixed price contract provided by your builder
3. The bank inspects the completed tasks are according to the contract before releasing the progress payments
4. The property construction inspections are done using 3rd party licensed valuers assigned by the bank
5. The construction loan amount is usually limited to only up to 70% of the value of the land if equity being accessed

Interest only Mortgage

You repay only the interest on the borrowed amount usually for the first one to five years of the loan, although some lenders offer longer terms. Your monthly repayments are lower because you’re not paying off the principal. At the end of the interest-only period, you begin to pay off both interest and principal. These loans are especially popular with investors who plan to pay off the principal when the property is sold, having achieved capital growth.
