Your Path to a Custom-Built Home with House & Land Package Finance

House and land packages represent one of the most exciting pathways to homeownership, offering Australians the opportunity to create a custom-built home tailored to their specific needs and lifestyle. At AXTON Finance, we understand that securing finance for a house and land package can be more complex than a traditional home loan, which is why our experienced team of Finance & Mortgage Brokers specialises in navigating these unique financing requirements. Our expertise in the local property market across Melbourne and Australia ensures that whether you're a first home buyer or an experienced investor, we can help you access some of the best interest rates and loan options from banks and lenders across Australia. The importance of working with the best Mortgage Broker cannot be overstated when it comes to house and land packages, as these transactions typically involve both purchasing a plot of land and securing a Construction Loan to build the house, requiring careful coordination and expert guidance throughout the entire process.

The financial structure of house and land packages requires a sophisticated understanding of how different loan products work together to create a seamless financing solution. AXTON Finance excels in helping clients understand their borrowing capacity and financial situation, ensuring they can budget conservatively while still achieving their dream of a new home in one of Australia's exciting new subdivisions. Our Mortgage Brokers work closely with you to assess your equity or cash deposit requirements, determine the appropriate loan amount, and secure favourable interest rate conditions that align with your long-term financial goals. We help you navigate important considerations such as loan to value ratio (LVR), interest rate discounts, and the various loan options available, including variable interest rate loans, fixed interest rate loans, and innovative split-rate loan products. Additionally, our team can help you access Government Grants and Incentives that may be available to reduce your upfront costs, including potential stamp duty savings that can make a significant difference to your overall investment.

One of the key advantages of working with AXTON Finance for your house and land package is our streamlined application process, which simplifies what can otherwise be a complex financing journey. Our experienced team guides you through every step, from initial loan pre-approval through to final settlement, ensuring you understand each stage and feel confident in your decisions. We help you prepare for unexpected costs that commonly arise during the construction phase, advise on the importance of securing a fixed price contract with your builder, and structure your financing to provide maximum flexibility throughout the build process. Whether you're considering an interest only loan during construction or planning your transition to principal and interest repayments, our expertise ensures your financing strategy aligns perfectly with your build timeline and cash flow requirements.

The opportunities for investors and first home buyers in today's house and land package market are substantial, with new subdivisions offering modern amenities, established infrastructure, and strong growth potential across Australia's major metropolitan areas.

Common Questions About House & Land Package Finance

How does financing work for house and land packages?

House and land packages typically require a two-stage financing approach that differs from traditional home loans. Initially, you'll need to secure finance to purchase the plot of land, followed by a Construction Loan to build the house as construction progresses. AXTON Finance specialises in coordinating these complex financing arrangements, helping you understand your borrowing capacity and ensuring smooth transitions between each phase. Our experienced Mortgage Brokers work with banks and lenders across Australia to access competitive interest rates and loan options that suit your financial situation. The exact structure will depend on factors such as your deposit, the loan to value ratio (LVR), and whether you choose variable interest rate loans, fixed interest rate loans, or split-rate loan options. We recommend booking a Free Consultation with AXTON Finance to discuss how house and land package financing can work specifically for your circumstances and long-term goals.

What deposit do I need for a house and land package?

The deposit requirements for house and land packages can vary significantly depending on your financial situation, the lender's criteria, and current market conditions. Generally, most lenders require a minimum deposit, though the exact amount will depend on factors including your borrowing capacity, credit history, and whether you're eligible for any Government Grants and Incentives. AXTON Finance helps clients understand their options, whether they're using cash deposits, existing property equity, or accessing first home buyer schemes that may reduce upfront costs. Our team can also advise on strategies to minimise stamp duty and other costs associated with your purchase. It's important to budget conservatively and prepare for unexpected costs during the construction phase, including potential variations and upgrades. For personalised advice about deposit requirements and strategies to maximise your purchasing power, we encourage you to speak with our expert Finance & Mortgage Brokers at AXTON Finance.

Can I get pre-approved for a house and land package loan?

Yes, obtaining loan pre-approval for house and land packages is not only possible but highly recommended before you start seriously looking at options in new subdivisions. AXTON Finance offers a streamlined application process for loan pre-approval, which provides you with confidence about your loan amount and helps you negotiate from a position of strength with developers and builders. Pre-approval for house and land packages involves assessing both the land purchase component and the proposed construction, considering factors such as your income, existing debts, and the estimated value of the completed property. Our Mortgage Brokers work with multiple lenders to secure pre-approval that covers both phases of your house and land package, ensuring you can move quickly when you find the perfect opportunity. However, it's important to understand that pre-approval conditions may apply, and final approval will depend on satisfactory building contracts and council approvals. Contact AXTON Finance for a Free Consultation to begin your pre-approval process and understand exactly what you can borrow for your custom-built home.

What's the difference between house and land packages and buying an existing home?

House and land packages offer several distinct advantages over purchasing existing homes, primarily the opportunity to create a custom-built home tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Unlike existing properties, house and land packages allow you to choose your floor plan, finishes, and upgrades while often being located in modern new subdivisions with contemporary infrastructure and amenities. From a financing perspective, house and land packages require more sophisticated loan arrangements, typically involving both land purchase finance and Construction Loans with progressive drawdowns during the building phase. AXTON Finance specialises in these complex financing structures, helping clients access some of the best interest rates available while navigating the unique requirements of construction lending. Additionally, house and land packages may offer opportunities to access various Government Grants and Incentives not available for existing homes, potentially including stamp duty concessions and first home buyer grants. The process does require patience as construction timelines can vary, and buyers need to prepare for unexpected costs that may arise during building. Our experienced team at AXTON Finance can help you weigh these considerations against your personal circumstances and goals.

Are house and land packages suitable for investors?

House and land packages present excellent opportunities for investors, particularly those seeking modern properties in growth areas with strong rental demand and capital appreciation potential. Investment in house and land packages allows investors to claim various tax benefits during the construction phase, including potential depreciation benefits on a brand-new property and the ability to structure loans optimally for tax purposes. AXTON Finance understands the unique needs of property investors and can help structure your financing to maximise tax efficiency, whether through interest only loans during construction or split-rate loan arrangements that provide flexibility. Our Mortgage Brokers work with specialist investment lenders who understand the house and land package market and can offer competitive interest rates and loan features tailored for investors. However, investors should carefully consider factors such as rental yields in the local property market, settlement timing, and the potential for oversupply in new subdivisions. It's also crucial to budget conservatively for potential cost overruns and ensure your financial situation can handle any delays in rental income during construction. For comprehensive advice about investing in house and land packages, including detailed analysis of your borrowing capacity and investment strategy, we recommend booking a Free Consultation with AXTON Finance to discuss your specific investment goals and risk tolerance.

We used AXTON Finance to buy our new home. This involved refinancing 2 properties as well as arranging finance the for the new home. There were a lot of moving parts and AXTON Finance did it all, recommended loan strategies to minimise repayments and secured a better loan deal, 2% below what we were paying. For a non money person, I wouldn't have been able to do it on my own and they saved a ton of time, stress and running aeound in the process. Would recommend AXTON Finance and now they are assisting my mother with a downsizing loan strategy.

Amazing Mortgage Broker! I was very lucky to have Nicole Campbell on my side. Stayed true to her words and absolutely helpful! No question was ever stupid. Being a FHB I was unaware of certain processes and Nicole being very professional and experienced always assured me every step of the way. I had called a number of other mortgage brokers prior I settled with Nicole and definitely no regrets. Very hold your hand and walk you through the process which is hard to find now-days. Thank you again, Nicole!

Highly recommended . Without sounding cliche, Adam did go above and beyond when refinancing our home loan. There was few bumps along the way, and he had clear communication with us the entire time and always returned calls and emails. I highly recommend Adam to anyone who is looking for a finance broker. Very reliable, thorough and easy to deal with.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do rental income and tax benefits affect my investment loan application?

Investment properties offer unique advantages in terms of rental income considerations and tax benefits, but these vary based on your individual circumstances and the specific property. The tax implications can be complex and should be carefully considered as part of your overall investment strategy. Book a consultation to understand how these factors apply to your situation and investment goals.

Can I use equity in my existing home to buy an investment property?

Using existing property equity for investment purchases is a popular wealth-building strategy, but the approach varies depending on your financial position and goals. There are several structuring options available, each with different benefits and considerations. Our experts can assess your equity position and explain your options during a complimentary consultation.

How much can I borrow for a home loan?

Your borrowing capacity depends on various personal and financial factors. While general guidelines exist, your actual borrowing power is unique to your situation, income, and financial goals. The best way to understand your true borrowing capacity is through a personalised assessment. Contact us for a free consultation where we'll provide you with an accurate borrowing estimate tailored to your circumstances.

Can I refinance my existing home loan or investment loan to get a better rate?

Refinancing can offer significant benefits, but whether it's right for you depends on your current loan terms, financial situation, and future goals. Market conditions and available products change regularly, so it's worth having your loans reviewed. Contact us for a free loan review to see if refinancing could improve your financial position.

What deposit do I need for an investment property loan?

Deposit requirements for investment properties vary between lenders and depend on your overall financial profile. While there are general guidelines, your specific situation may open up different options or require alternative approaches. Let us assess your circumstances in a free consultation to determine the most suitable deposit strategy for your investment plans.

What documents do I need to apply for a home or investment loan?

Documentation requirements vary depending on your employment type, loan amount, and chosen lender.

What is an investment property loan and how does it differ from a home loan?

The specifics can vary significantly based on your investment strategy and financial situation.
