Construction Loans

We'll help you fund your new build or renovation

Building or expanding an investment property portfolio can be a rewarding venture. However, finding the right financial support is crucial, especially for projects that go beyond the usual offerings of major banks. At Olive Road Financial, we specialise in helping you access Construction Loan options from banks and lenders across Australia. Whether you are planning a new build, major home renovations, or buying off the plan, understanding how construction loans work will set the foundation for your project's success.

Construction Loans offer unique benefits tailored for property development. Unlike traditional loans, these options provide a progressive drawdown feature. This means that funds are released in stages, aligning with various phases of your construction project. You only pay interest on the amount drawn down, which can significantly reduce your costs. With interest-only repayment options available, managing cash flow becomes easier during the construction phase. This flexibility is ideal when working with professionals like plumbers and electricians or when you need to pay sub-contractors as you meet each construction milestone.

When applying for a loan, understanding the Progressive Payment Schedule is key. This schedule aligns with your builder’s timeline and ensures funds are available at each stage of construction. Progress payments are made based on an 'as if complete' valuation, which assesses the property's expected value at various project stages. This approach helps maintain financial oversight and ensures you do not face unexpected outlays. It is also important to consider additional payments for Out of Contract Items not included in your initial agreement, such as changes in council plans or permits.

Choosing the right loan amount requires careful planning. It is crucial to make a plan that considers your ideal location, price range, and potential council regulations. If your project involves demolishing an existing property or dealing with council restrictions, a thorough development application is essential. Securing suitable land and managing permits efficiently can smooth the path forward. It is important to commence building within a set period from the Disclosure Date to avoid delays and additional costs like the Progressive Drawing Fee.
