Construction Loan

Construction Loan

A construction loan is a loan designed to assist funding of a new home’s construction. Getting a loan for a home that doesn’t exist yet is a bit trickier, so a construction loan works in conjunction with the building process and helps you pay for it


How does a construction loan work?

Construction loans, also known as building loans, function very differently to a standard home loan. They typically charge interest-only repayments for the duration of the build, which is initially set at 12 months in most cases. This is to keep your repayments to a minimum during construction, before reverting to a principal and interest loan at the end, known as the ‘end loan’. A construction loan is a loan designed to assist funding of a new home’s construction. Getting a loan for a home that doesn’t exist yet is a bit trickier, so a construction loan works in conjunction with the building process and helps you pay for it

An bigger difference between construction loans and home loans is how your repayments are calculated. A standard home loan charges you interest on the full loan amount, but a home construction loan divides your loan into stages based on what part of the building process is occurring, a method known as progressive draw-down or progress payments.
