Construction Loans
Finance the construction of your new home with a loan designed to be drawn down in stages as your build progresses.
One team managing your finance and property journey from start to finish.
Build your dream home with a Construction Loan
A Construction Loan is a specialised type of home loan designed specifically for people building a new home. Unlike a standard home loan where the full amount is drawn down at settlement, a construction loan is drawn down in stages as the building progresses. This means you only pay interest on the amount that's been drawn down, which can reduce your repayments during the construction phase.
The stages typically include the slab or base, frame, lock-up, fit-out, and completion. At each stage, your builder will submit a progress claim and we coordinate the drawdown with the lender. Once construction is complete, the loan usually converts to a standard variable or fixed rate home loan.
We simplify your property and finance journey by bringing everything together under one trusted brand. Instead of coordinating multiple professionals, you deal with one experienced team that manages the entire journey from beginning to end. One team. One plan. One point of contact.
Progressive Drawdowns
You only pay interest on what's been drawn down, keeping your repayments lower during construction.
Stage-by-Stage Coordination
We coordinate each drawdown with your builder and lender at every construction milestone.
Seamless Conversion
Once construction is complete, we manage the transition to your ongoing home loan seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions
The timeline varies depending on several factors, including your financial situation, the type of property you're purchasing, and the lender's current processing times. Generally, from initial application to final approval, you should allow between two to six weeks. Pre-approval can often be obtained within a few days. At Rowe Finance & Property, we work diligently to progress your application as efficiently as possible.
In most cases, our services at Rowe Finance & Property don't cost you anything out of pocket. Mortgage brokers are typically paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles. The commission structure doesn't affect the loan terms you receive, as lenders offer the same products and conditions whether you approach them directly or through a broker.
Absolutely. Self-employed individuals, contractors, and those with non-traditional income sources often face additional challenges when applying for finance. At Rowe Finance & Property, we specialise in presenting your financial situation in the most favourable light possible and understand which lenders are more accommodating towards self-employed borrowers.
We offer flexible appointment options to suit your needs. Clients can meet with us online from anywhere, or Perth-based clients may choose to book an in-person appointment at a designated location. All bookings can be made via the Bookings tab.
When you approach a bank directly, you only have access to that institution's products and policies. A mortgage broker works with multiple lenders across the market, giving you access to a broader range of loan products. At Rowe Finance & Property, we compare options across our entire lending panel to find solutions that suit your circumstances.
A finance and mortgage broker acts as an intermediary between you and potential lenders. Rather than approaching banks and financial institutions yourself, a broker does the legwork on your behalf. We assess your financial situation, understand your goals, and then search across our panel of lenders to find suitable loan options that align with your needs.
