Construction loans, made simple.
A construction loan is specifically designed to finance a build or major renovation, so it works differently to a normal home loan.
Instead of receiving your loan in one, big lump sum, you’ll have sections of your loan paid out to you or your builder in pre-arranged instalments (usually in line with key progress milestones).
As you only pay interest on the funds you’ve used, being paid in parts means that you may pay less interest overall – an easy win for your savings.

FAQs.
Yes, we offer home loans that may be used for prefabricated homes, particularly under our construction loans.
As with all our loans, approval is subject to credit assessment criteria. The specific nature of the prefabricated home (e.g., whether it is permanently fixed to land) will also influence eligibility.
The most relevant loan type is a Construction Loan, which is suitable if the prefabricated home is being constructed or assembled on-site.
Prefabricated homes typically include:
- modular homes: built in sections off-site and assembled on-site
- kit homes: delivered as a package and assembled by the owner or builder
- transportable or relocatable homes: built to be moved but may be permanently installed.
We may require that the home be permanently fixed to land and meet standard residential building codes to qualify for a home loan.
Transportable or prefabricated homes should not be confused with any form of "Mobile" or temporary home, which may or may not be permanently affixed to a building site. Mobile homes of any type are not acceptable security for mortgage purposes.
There are several things to consider when applying for a loan for a prefabricated home:
- permanency: your home must usually be fixed to a foundation and not easily relocatable
- valuation: we will assess the value of the home and land together
- builder accreditation: your builder or manufacturer will need to be licensed and approved
- insurance and compliance: your home must meet local council regulations and be insured able
- loan structure: you may need a progressive drawdown loan if the home is being built in stages.
We're an award-winning lender.
