Buy the Land and Build the house – Stress free!
A self build mortgage is a home loan you take out to buy land and finance building your own house. Funds are typically released in instalments to be allocated to different stages in a build including the first stage… buying the land! Keep in mind it’s important to know if your money will be released at the end of a payment period or the beginning so you can remain on top of your project. Whereas some specialist brokers have lent 95% of the value of the land in the past, currently lenders are more in the ballpark of 75% of the cost of the land or around 60% of build costs. Some lenders refuse to lend if your are doing the building work yourself rather than having it designed and built for you.
How much can I borrow?
If you already own the land then this puts you a simpler position as you can immediately drawdown from the value of the land. If you do not and require lending for the land and the build then you typically require a minimum of 15% deposit of the land value and the build cost . The lender would lend up to up to 75% of the final value.
A self build is assessed similar to a normal mortgage, which will be based on your personal incomes , liabilities and personal circumstances.
