Loan Features
The feature of a Construction Loan involves a number of stages.

How Construction Loans work
- During the construction of the property, the loan will be interest only.
- Payments to your builder will be conducted at the end of each stage.
- At the end of each stage, a valuation will be conducted.
- On completion of the property, the repayment structure will change to a flexible home loan.
- On completion, a final valuation will determine the value of the property.
How do I qualify for a Construction Loan?
To qualify for a Construction Loan, it is mandatory that you provide council approved plans and a fixed price tender from a qualified registered builder. During the construction of the property, a copy of the builders insurance must be valid.
