We'll help you fund your new build or renovation with a Construction Loan

If you are considering purchasing a rural or regional property in Australia, understanding Construction Loans is crucial. At Panache Financial, we specialise in helping clients access Construction Loan options from banks and lenders across Australia. Whether you are planning to build a new home or undertake major home renovations, our team is here to guide you through the process. We aim to provide you with a streamlined application process and ensure you find the loan that fits your needs.

Construction Loans offer a unique way to finance your building project. Unlike standard home loans, they are tailored to fund various stages of your project. You only charge interest on the amount drawn down, allowing you to manage your finances effectively. With progressive drawdown and progress payments, you have the flexibility to pay sub-contractors such as plumbers and electricians at each stage of construction. This means you can manage payments in instalments, reducing financial stress while ensuring your project stays on track.

Applying for a loan with Panache Financial is designed to be a simple and transparent process. Our team will help you make a plan based on your ideal location, price range, and project goals. We will assist in understanding council plans and permits and navigating council restrictions and regulations. When purchasing a suitable land or buying off the plan, it is important to know that you may need to commence building within a set period from the Disclosure Date. Our experts will guide you through obtaining an ‘as if complete’ valuation and crafting a Progressive Payment Schedule that suits your timeline.

Whether you are planning a new build or looking to demolish an existing property, it is important to understand construction milestones and ensure everything is on track. We will help you assess Out of Contract Items not included in your budget, making sure there are no surprises along the way. With interest-only repayment options available, Panache Financial can help you manage your cash flow effectively during the construction phase. We offer expert advice on additional payments and managing Progressive Drawing Fees, ensuring you have a clear understanding of all costs involved.

Construction Loans are also suitable for those looking to carry out significant home improvements. If your project involves making changes that require a development application, our team can advise you on the best approach to get your plans approved. We make sure you have all the information needed to work with a registered builder and ensure all permits are in place before construction begins.

Choosing Panache Financial means working with a partner dedicated to making your property dreams a reality. Our friendly and approachable team is here to offer trustworthy advice at every step of your journey. If you are ready to explore Construction Loan options, contact us today. Let us help you turn your vision into reality with confidence, knowing that we are here to support you throughout the entire process.

I honestly cannot recommend Ash and her incredible team highly enough! From the very beginning of our home buying journey, right through to finally securing our first home, Ash and her team have been nothing short of amazing. Buying your first home can be such an overwhelming journey, especially when navigating offers, finance and all the unknowns that come with it. But throughout the entire process, we felt so supported, informed and reassured. No question was ever too silly, nothing ever felt like too much trouble and we were never left wondering what was happening or what came next. What stood out the most for us most was the genuine care and dedication shown by not just Ash but her entire team. The level of service was so incredibly consistent, regardless of who we were speaking with. Whenever Ash wasn't our direct point of contact, her team picked things up seamlessly, with the same warmth, efficiency and attention to detail. Nothing was ever missed and it was so reassuring knowing we were in such capable hands every step of the way. There were certainly moments when our nerves got the better of us, but Ash always had a way of putting our minds at ease, taking the time to explain everything and making what felt complicated seem so much simpler. That patience, kindness and reassurance meant more to us than she probably realises. From navigating the ups and downs of putting in offers to finally finding our home, the communication was exceptional, everything was handled so efficiently and securing our finance was such a smooth and stress free experience. It's one thing to be fantastic at your job, but it's another to make people feel genuinely cared for throughout such a huge milestone in their lives. Ash and her entire team managed to do exactly that and we truly couldn't have asked for a better group of people to guide us through the process. We are so incredibly grateful for everything you've all done to help us get here. Thank you for your patience, your kindness, your incredible communication and for making what could have been such a daunting experience feel so much easier. You've all played such a special part in helping us make our dream of owning our first home a reality and we couldn't be more thankful! We will never go anywhere else for our finance needs 🫶🏼🤍

Ash is a constant source of financial knowledge and guidance for me (and she doesn’t even know it!). Ash’s frequent social posts on tips and tricks how to improve your individual financial circumstances is so helpful and her passion for supporting others to achieve their goals, is a wonderful trait. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 …

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a construction loan different from a regular loan?

Funds are released in stages as your build progresses, rather than as a lump sum upfront.

Do I need council approval before applying for a construction loan?

Yes. Most lenders require approved plans and a signed building contract before assessing your application.

Can I build in a regional area with a construction loan?

Yes. We specialise in helping clients secure finance for regional builds and know which lenders will support them.

How do repayments work during the build?

You usually only pay interest on the funds drawn at each stage, which keeps repayments lower until the home is complete.

Can I include land and construction in one loan?

Yes. We help structure your finance so land and building costs are covered in a single loan package.

Can I borrow to buy off the plan?

Yes. We will talk to you about a suitable home loan so you can buy a place before construction begins.
