Frequently asked questions

How do property developers get financed?

Property developers should contact a specialist development finance broker to help them get a development loan. The finance broker will let them know what documentation they need to provide, give them advice about structuring, research different loan options, recommend a suitable finance package and then manage the application process from beginning to end.

How much deposit do I need for development finance?

The deposit or developers equity you’ll need for development finance will depend on the lender and your project, it is generally a number between 10% and 25% of the total development costs.

It is possible to get development finance without putting in cash equity by offering other assets such as completed (or near completed) property from existing projects or other investment property as security.

If you have no debt on the land and existing structures you are looking to redevelop you may not need to put down any deposit or additional security.

How do construction loans work in Australia?

In Australia, construction loans are paid out in instalments and not in a single lump sum. The construction lender will hold the first mortgage (senior debt) over the subject property.

The instalments are paid on a monthly basis for works that are verified as fixed in place by a quantity surveyor. Typically a quantity surveyor, appointed by the lender, will prepare an initial report and carry out monthly inspections to authorise the lender to release of the next instalment.

Another feature of construction loans is that you only pay the interest on the outstanding drawn balance. The capital (original loan amount) is usually repaid at project completion through the end purchaser settling on their new property.

What is property finance?

Property finance refers to any type of loan for land or buildings. These buildings could be strata, houses, units, offices, or retail spaces.

The property is generally offered as security for the loan, which is known as a mortgage.

Property finance can also be in the form of a property development loan which is available when multiple structures are built on a single piece of land.

Can you get 100% development finance?

Yes. It is possible to get 100% development finance if the equity you hold in the land and structures on it exceeds the finance required.

You might also qualify for 100% development finance if you provide other security like another completed development, or your personal assets.

Having a guarantor may also help you get 100% development finance.
