Loans for newly constructed homes can be obtained by either the
prospective owner or homebuilder. As the name suggests, this type of loan is only
applicable if you are having your home built from the ground up. Typically
short term, construction home loans are mainly designed to fund the five stages
of the home construction process, namely purchase of the land, flooring, roof,
lock up, and finalisation. You can decide to break up the loan’s drawdown into
five progressive draws that correspond to each specific construction process.
The moment one part of the construction is finished, you may then draw
down the next portion of the loan. After each completed portion, a valuer will
generally inspect the work to ensure it fulfils every criterion listed in that
particular portion of the construction home loan.
