New Build

Building or buying off the plans, financed properly.

Building or buying off the plans comes with its own lending quirks. I handle the staged-drawdown detail so you can focus on the house.

Is this you?

Common questions

Questions about new build.

How does financing a new build differ from an existing home?
New builds are typically financed through staged drawdowns — the lender releases funds as construction reaches agreed milestones, rather than one lump sum at settlement. I walk you through exactly how that works for your build.
What deposit do I need for a new build?
Deposit requirements for new builds can differ from existing homes, and the details depend on your lender and circumstances. I check what applies to your situation rather than assuming a standard figure.
What documents will I need to apply?
Usually your building contract or plans, proof of ID, recent payslips, and a few months of bank statements. I give you a clear checklist upfront.
How long does pre-approval take?
Timeframes vary with the lender and your circumstances. Some approvals are quick, others take longer. I keep you informed and follow up to keep it moving.
