We'll help you fund your new build or renovation

Premium Finance Group Australia is here to guide you through the intricacies of Construction Loans, offering tailored solutions for clients in Townsville, QLD, and across the nation. Whether you're planning major home renovations or embarking on a new build, understanding your financing options can transform your dream into reality. Our expertise lies in helping you access Construction Loan options from banks and lenders across Australia, ensuring you have the financial backing to construct in your ideal location within your budget.

When considering a Construction Loan, it's essential to understand how they differ from standard home loans. Unlike traditional loans, Construction Loans are drawn down progressively, meaning you only pay interest on the amount you use. This process aligns with various stages of the project, such as securing council plans and permits, or as you engage with plumbers and electricians. As your project progresses, funds are released in instalments, known as progress payments, which coincide with construction milestones outlined in the Progressive Payment Schedule. This method not only manages cash flow effectively but also ensures that payments are made to registered builders and sub-contractors at the right time.

A significant advantage of Construction Loans is the interest-only repayment options available during the building phase. This feature allows you to manage financial outlays efficiently while construction is ongoing. It's important to note that securing an ‘as if complete’ valuation is a standard requirement in the application process. This valuation helps determine the loan amount you can access, ensuring that once your project is finished, it's valued appropriately by lenders. Additionally, having a clear strategy for Out of Contract Items not included in the initial plan can prevent unforeseen expenses.

Applying for a loan with Premium Finance Group Australia is streamlined to minimise stress and maximise results. We assist in making a plan that meets council regulations and fits within your price range, whether you're buying off the plan or considering home improvements. Our approach involves detailed discussions about your project scope, including council restrictions and development applications, to ensure you're prepared for every eventuality. Moreover, we guide you through potential additional payments and Progressive Drawing Fees so that you're fully informed from start to finish.

The journey to commence building within a set period from the Disclosure Date requires careful planning and execution. We support you every step of the way, helping you find suitable land and advising on whether to demolish an existing property to make room for your dream home. Throughout this process, understanding the importance of council plans and permits ensures that your project adheres to all necessary guidelines.

Premium Finance Group Australia is committed to providing comprehensive support throughout your construction project. By understanding the nuances of Construction Loans—such as progressive drawdown and interest rate management—you can embark on your build with confidence. Contact us today to explore how we can help secure the ideal financing for your next project. Let us assist you in transforming your architectural vision into a tangible asset, backed by our expertise and dedication to your success.

Beyond Excellent! Dianne and Murray take their time to make sure everything is a good fit for you! Buying our first home was daunting and they made it a breeze. Always happy to talk and provide advice whenever it was needed. Will be going back to them in the future and have always recommended them to friends and family! Thanks

I’d highly recommend Murray Mayes. He helped me with the overwhelm of buying my first property over 6 years ago. He always goes above and beyond to answer my questions and provide support during the application process but also long after. This level of support really puts my mind at ease with lending and is why I will continue to use his services for future lending.
