Land, construction and first home loans handled by a Cranbourne mortgage broker.

Buying a block and building on it is not the same as buying an existing home. The deposit rules are different, the loan is paid out in stages, and a mistake in timing can leave you paying interest and rent at the same time.

TwoFold Lending walks you through the whole sequence before you sign anything. We compare lenders for land and construction, check your builder contract against lender requirements and plan the cash you will need at each stage.

Common questions

Cranbourne mortgage broker FAQs.

How much deposit do I need to buy land?

It depends on the lender and the land, but vacant land typically needs a larger deposit than a house. We check current requirements for your block.

How do construction loan payments work?

The lender pays your builder in stages as each part of the build is completed. You pay interest on what has been drawn, and the loan then moves to normal repayments.

Can a first home buyer use a construction loan?

Yes. Some government schemes apply to new builds and house and land packages. We check your eligibility and timeline.

What happens if my build is delayed?

Delays can mean extra rent or interest and may affect the validity of your approval. We talk through buffers and what to ask your builder.

Do I pay interest on the whole loan during the build?

Usually only on the amount drawn so far. Repayments grow as more of the loan is used.

Can I get a loan before I choose a builder?

A pre approval is possible, though lenders will want the contract and plans before a final approval.
