So the technical response is 2wd access... up to the valuer to determine that.
Again, if the sewer system is in the contract and meets code it should be fine -…

HI Monty,
The sealed access road is the main bug bear here - Thats pretty much a deal breaker - has to have suitable 2wd access.
But there are loads of…

Absolutely 100% avoid Bankwest (experience talking), this might be a job for a major. I'm sure your broker will be on it.

Spot on - depending on the lender and the percentage you are borrowing you might have an issue - for example Bankwest will not accept this over 80%.
While it may…

Depends on the lender again... you can apply for a new loan with that lender and absorb the old loan into it. Or if you prefer to keep them separate…

It makes sense but those calculators are not very good..l. I'm just gonna say, you don't pay to see a broker, go let them do their thing for you

Hi Fully,
You only pay repayments once you have borrowed money, so, if you have borrowed money (from elsewhere) for the deposit you would have repayments on that money, but, yes…

Hi Dicko,
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…

Oh sorry to hear that Rach, but glad you got a solution.

Hi Rach, the bank always work on retaining exactly what the contract say are required to complete the build hence you have to put your money in first - this…

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, after settlement, depending on what percentage of the home value you have borrowed and other approval criteria - you may be able to top up your loan to cover…

Hi, thats been my experience, you claim it after the house is built - but I don't do a lot in VIC, PLC would…

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…

I've received a PM from an anonymous poster (so I cant reply to it) regards a partially build Henley home (assuming its in VIC?).
The question asks if a valuation can…

OK good - so you're right, not a lot of wiggle room and not a lot of other lenders to choose from. What do land sale prices look like in…

HI Moventura,
What percentage of the value of the property are you buying?
If you proceed, and if the valuation comes in short - you could be scrabbling for more money to…

HI Caydenn, I haven't run the numbers on affordability as thats a much bigger conversation. Your broker has the full story so I would trust them. As mentioned above, the…

Huh? Thats really strange, did you issue documents and sign and return them? If so, I think whats probably more the case is they make you use all your money…

Who has a crystal ball.... Sorry thats not helpful.
What we are seeing is a bit of a yoyo - rates go up, then down, then up, then down based on…

Hi,
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…

Plus, further to Tom's accurate response it gives you options should the (very unlikely) occurrence of having to change lenders between land and build if something crops up like a…

Sorry - this only just came through. It's up to the valuer and the way the contract is worded - if the valuer thinks what is in the contract…
