While a standard home loan is suitable for purchasing an existing property, it
may not be the ideal
financing solution when it comes to building or construction. Instead,
a
construction loan is a better
option for those embarking on a new property construction
project.
However, it's important to note
that building loans require a fixed-price building contract
in
place with a registered builder.
One of the key advantages of a construction loan is that you can receive
progress payments to
access funds as various building stages are completed. Typically,
progress
payments are set up on an
interest-only basis. Once the project is finished, you can opt to
switch to principal and interest
repayments. This means you'll only need to make necessary
payments as the project progresses,
helping you manage cash flow throughout the building
process.
