Construction Home Loans for Fixed Price Building Contracts
Home loans for construction with fixed price building contract are preferred by home loan providers as there is certainty in the price of the construction.
A fixed price building contract also provides confidence in the home loan provider’s point of view as the construction will be undertaken by a licensed builder and will be constructed to a plan and specific timeframes.
Construction Home Loans for House and Land Packages
Home loans for house and land package deals are also quite common and are a popular way for first home owners to enter the market.
Again this is a preferred type of home loan as there is certainty in the price of the home and the construction phase has a specific date for completion.
House and land package home loans are easy to obtain and we also have a unique home loan which is the 106% home loan.
What the 106% home loan provides is the full purchase price plus a further 6% to cover associated costs of the purchase and we have helped hundreds of clients get into their own home by using this unique home loan.
Why not contact us and have a chat to our home loan specialists about which home loan options are available to you for a house and land package.
Construction Home Loans for Owner Builders
Owner builder home loans are available for those who wish to construct their own home.
You may have some skills in building or know contractors who could perform work for you at a discounted rate so the potential to save thousands is very much a reality.
Traditionally home loan providers have strict limitations on owner builder home loans as they deem them to be of higher risk as costs may blow out as could the construction timeframe.
Having said that we do have a solution for the owner builder market and can offer home loans which can extend to 80% of the end value of the property so why not contact us to find out more about this great home loan option for owner builders.
Investment Mortgages & Home Loans
Investment home loans are now commonplace in the home loan market and are tailored for investors looking to create wealth through property investing.
Investment home loans are generally interest only as this allows you to maximise your tax benefit and allow capital growth to occur.
There are a range of investment home loans available which range from traditional investment home loans of up to 95% LVR right through to investment home loans which offer up to 106% of the purchase price.
We have found that the 106% investment home loan is a home loan option which is often chosen as it allows the investor to free up cash flow by minimising the out of pocket expenses.
Let’s take a look at some benefits of using an investment home loan to generate wealth in the long term, some of the benefits are:

Regulated Mortgages & Home Loans
A regulated home loan is simply a home loan which is governed by the UCCC for the life of the home loan and is specifically for home loans which are used for owner occupied purposes.
The UCCC ensures that borrowers for home loans which are for personal purposes are provided with regular statements and documentation with regard interest rate rises and so on.
Unregulated Mortgages & Home Loans
Conversely, unregulated home loans are home loans which are used for investment purposes. This applies to any home loan where more than 50% of the home loan amount will be used for investment or business purposes.
For example a home loan which is on your owner occupied property and owes 100k on the personal home loan component but owes 150k on a home loan split for investment purposes is deemed as an unregulated home loan.
Line of Credit Mortgages & Home Loans
A line of credit on your home loan is a great way to combine all of your finances under the one home loan structure.
What this provides you are two things, the home loan can be paid off sooner as all of your interest earned from a savings account attached to your home loan offset the interest repayments on your home loan and your income also lowers the amount owing on the home loan leading up to the next home loan repayment.
You are also able to draw on the funds available within the line of credit home loan (up to the nominated limit) to make purchases, invest, renovate or a raft of other options which you see the need for.
There is so much more to a line of credit home loan so why not contact us and have one of our home loan specialists run you through the benefits of a line of credit home loan.
Credit Impaired Mortgages & Home Loans
Having a credit impairment does not mean that you are unable to obtain a home loan, there are a number of reasons that you may have a blemish on your credit file and traditional home loan providers often turn the other way.
This is where credit impaired home loans can help you, whether you have a small default with a phone provider or you are a discharged bankrupt.
Some of the purposes which credit impaired home loans can be used are:
| • |
Purchase of a property |
| • |
Refinance of an existing home loan |
| • |
Consolidation of debts into a home loan |
| • |
Purchase of an investment property |
| • |
Repayment of defaults to start afresh |
There are a number of purposes that a credit impaired home loan can be used for and we have several home loan providers who offer credit impaired home loans.
The main reason that credit impaired home loan providers offer these home loans is to get the client back on track with their finances with a view to move the home loan facility into mainstream home loans once this history is cleared up.
This is where AussieWise stays in touch and ensures you restructure your home loan as soon as is practicable so you achieve a more competitive interest rate for the long term.
Credit Impaired or specialist home loans are not limited to assisting people with a credit blemish, these home loans can also offer an opportunity to others who do not quite meet the needs of a mainstream home loan provider.
Who else can specialist home loans suit?
| • |
People with different employment types such as casual, temporary, block time contract etc |
| • |
People who’s sole income is a pension |
| • |
People who have a unique property or a location where traditional home loan lenders will not lend into |
| • |
Business types i.e. specialised business such as a nursing home |
Credit impaired home loans can also be used by self employed applicants who require a low doc home loan so again these specialist home loans can cater for a variety of needs and circumstances.
Contact us to find out more about credit impaired home loans and our home loan specialist will assist.
No Doc Mortgages & Home Loans
Home loans which are known as no doc home loans differ from low doc home loans in the respect that a no doc home loan does not require asset and liability information and also relies on a declaration of affordability versus and income declaration.
Generally no doc home loans extend up to 75% of the purchase price and in some cases up to 80% of the purchase price, these limitations are in place as there in a minimal amount of information that the no doc home loan provider relies on to assess serviceability.
We have access to a number of no doc home loan providers so why not contact us and have a chat to a home loan specialist who can help you with your no doc home loan needs.

Fixed Rate Mortgages & Home Loans
Fixed interest rates for home loans are a great way to ensure your home loan repayment stability over a specified time period.
Fixed rate home loans vary from 1yr through to 15yr terms and the choice of home loan term is up to you, more recently there have been some home loan interest rate increases and this has meant that more and more people are choosing a fixed rate home loan.
Even though a fixed rate home loan provides you with home loan repayment stability there is still some degree of flexibility within the fixed home loan structure itself. What this means is that you are still able to do the below depending on the home loan provider chosen:
| • |
You are still able to make additional home loan repayments up to a certain amount |
| • |
Some fixed home loan providers even allow you to redraw on the home loan during the fixed home loan period |
Once the fixed rate home loan term has lapsed the home loan reverts to the standard variable home loan rate at the time, this doesn’t mean you cannot fix the rate again and it’s as simple as re-applying for a fixed rate home loan again with the same or another home loan lender.
