Owner builder home loans are limited in availability for Australians. It is important not to confuse an owner builder loan with a construction home loan. Construction home loans are where there is a fixed price builders contract in place to build a home on your land or land provided by the builder. Most lenders offer options for constrution loans where there is a fixed price builders contract in place.

Owner builder loans on the other hand are very limited as most banks and lenders will not lend at all for owner builder loans and those that do will will only lend at limited loan to value ratios where an owner builder is involved.

For example one lender will only lend up to 80% of the land value only while another will only lend up to 60% loan to value ratio based on the lower of the following;

• The land value plus the total of the owner builder estimate of construction cost, or
• The on-completion value of the property as determined by their valuer.

Another lender option available offers up to 75% of the value, provided the construction is at least 90% complete.

Fortunatley there is an option still available that allows owners builders to borrow higher loan to value ratios and this option includes many additional features that are not offered by any other bank or lender.

This option can allow access to finance up to 75% of the on completion value of your new home, not just the cost.
