Construction finance for Sydney builders and developers

Finance for residential and commercial projects, from duplexes and NDIS-compliant homes to office fit-outs and incomplete builds. Deposits typically start from around 10% to 20%, depending on the lender and the project's scale.

Project lenders judge the builder as much as the build: licence, track record, costings and how the numbers hold if sales or valuations slow. Major banks often step back from smaller or unusual projects, so second-tier and specialist lenders matter here.

“We wanted to cash out against our home to renovate and had no idea where to start. Julie was so helpful from day one. She walked us through all our options, explained the numbers clearly, and found us a great deal that let us access the equity without messing up our existing loan. Communication was excellent the whole time, everything was handled quickly and settlement was smooth. Made what could have been stressful actually really easy. Highly recommend Julie if you need a mortgage broker.”

FAQs

Questions answered

How do construction loans work for builders?
With the builder construction loans Mortgage Pass arranges, funds are drawn at milestones such as slab, frame and lock-up, and interest is charged only on what is drawn.
How much deposit do I need?
Typically from around 10% to 20%, Mortgage Pass finds; larger or commercial projects may need more equity.
What do lenders look for in a builder?
Mortgage Pass in Merrylands finds project lenders look at your licence, completed projects, costings, presales and how the numbers hold if values soften. A clear track record and a realistic budget matter more than the headline rate.
Do I need presales?
Some lenders Mortgage Pass works with require them for multi-unit projects; smaller builds often do not.
Can I refinance when the build is finished?
Yes. Mortgage Pass can refinance a finished build to reduce repayments, access equity or move to better terms.
