Quality Victorian Builders Who Return Your Calls
Finance

Don't have finance sorted? Not a problem.

We can help guide you toward the right finance options for your situation — whether you're buying land and building, building on land you already own, or still working out your budget.

Finance Options

Understanding your finance pathway

Most residential builds in Victoria are funded through one of a few standard pathways. We'll help you understand which one suits your situation and connect you with the right professionals.

Construction Loan

The most common finance pathway for new builds. You draw funds in stages as the build progresses — matching Habitat Vic's staged construction payment schedule. Interest is only charged on what's drawn.

Land & Construction Loan

For clients taking a Land & Build package — a combined loan that covers both the land purchase and the build. Often structured as one application, one approval, one settlement process.

Owner-Builder / Existing Land

If you already own the land, your finance is a construction-only loan against the completed home value. We'll help you understand what the valuation of your completed home should look like.

First Home Buyer Assistance

Victorian first home buyers may be eligible for the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG), stamp duty concessions, and the First Home Guarantee scheme. We can help you understand if you qualify.

Deposit Requirements

Lenders typically require a 10–20% deposit for construction loans. We'll help you understand the realistic total cost of your project — land, build, extras and holding costs — before you commit.

Broker Introduction

We can connect you with a mortgage broker experienced in construction loans — so you're not navigating a build-specific finance application without expert support.

We're builders, not financial advisors

The information above is general guidance only. Finance decisions should be made with the help of a licensed mortgage broker or financial advisor. What we can do is give you a clear, accurate picture of what your build will cost — so you and your broker have something concrete to work with.

Talk to us before you talk to your bank

We'll give you a realistic project cost — land, build, inclusions and estimated timeline — so you walk into any finance conversation knowing exactly what you need.
