It varies according to the invoice amount for each stage...
What you need to do is work out what the loan balance will be at each stage and multiply…

Hi Ayemar
there's a much bigger conversation to be had before anyone could answer if the loan is affordable or not, but, I want to separate out the equity issue. Building…

Hi Salman,
FULL DISCLOSURE UP FRONT - I am an external broker so I have a bias.
There's no advantage with an internal broker over external - in my opinion, in fact…

OK, so send your quotes through when the build is finished and they might be able to top up. I've seen Bankwest so this, I have had anyone with ANZ…

Hi Ray,
Generally approvals last around 90 days now, most often you would want to be ready to rock as soon as you settle on the land which means getting the…

Yep, agree. Cant see any reason you cant have a valuation done now so you can go unconditional. The one thing, your approval may still expire if the build doesn't…

Then I cant see any issues to having it valued now, unless - and this is really extraordinary - the builder won't let anyone in. What documents do you have…

Not impossible you could get a bridging loan (don't think nasty things of old days, they are much improved) which would allow you to borrow as much as you needed…

your biggest challenge will be no kitchen - without a kitchen in the contract it will be deemed inhabitable and unacceptable security. The flooring is no drama, kitchen…
