When buying an established
home, you’ll need the entire amount of the loan withdrawn at once. This is in
stark contrast to buying
a home that is built from scratch, as construction takes place in phases,
and paying a loan for a finished house when it is actually under construction
is less favourable to the borrower. For future homeowners who prefer to have
their home built, they can turn to a construction loan.
With a construction loan,
the loan balance is released in stages, according to how the construction
process progresses. Each major phase comes with a corresponding amount, and as
the next stage is reached, the next portion of the funds is released. This
allows a borrower to make interest payments based only on the amount released,
instead of the entire loan amount right from the start. With a construction
loan, you’ll be making repayments based on the portion you have used.
