We'll help you fund your new build or renovation

At Allymont Finance, we understand that building your dream home or undertaking major renovations can be an exciting yet complex journey. As a trusted finance and mortgage broking business based in Melbourne, we specialise in helping clients access Construction Loan options from banks and lenders across Australia. Whether you're planning a new build or considering major home renovations, our team is here to guide you through the process with ease and expertise.

Construction Loans can be a valuable resource for those looking to embark on a building project. These loans are distinct as they allow for progressive drawdown, which means you only pay interest on the amount drawn down at various stages of the project. This is particularly beneficial for managing cash flow, as you can make progress payments to registered builders, plumbers, electricians, and other sub-contractors as needed. Additionally, these loans often offer interest-only repayment options during the construction phase, which can help keep your initial costs down.

When applying for a loan, it is essential to have a well-thought-out plan. This includes having council plans and permits in place, understanding council regulations, and ensuring your project fits within your desired price range and ideal location. At Allymont Finance, we facilitate a streamlined application process to help you secure the right loan amount for your needs. Our experts will assist you in preparing for an ‘as if complete’ valuation to ensure that your project is financially viable from start to finish.

Another significant aspect of Construction Loans is the Progressive Payment Schedule. This schedule outlines when instalments will be made at various construction milestones. It’s crucial to commence building within a set period from the Disclosure Date and to stick to the outlined schedule to avoid additional payments or delays. Understanding the importance of this schedule and adhering to it can prevent complications such as Out of Contract Items not included or unexpected Progressive Drawing Fees. Our team will work closely with you and your builder to manage these aspects efficiently.

For those interested in buying off the plan or demolishing an existing property for a new build, understanding council restrictions and finding suitable land are vital steps. Allymont Finance will help you navigate these requirements, ensuring your development application is comprehensive and compliant. With our assistance, you can focus on achieving your vision without being bogged down by regulatory hurdles.

In summary, Allymont Finance is committed to supporting you throughout your construction journey. By helping you access Construction Loan options from banks and lenders across Australia, we aim to make your experience as seamless as possible. If you're ready to make a plan for your new home or renovation, contact us today to get started. Our team is eager to assist you in finding the best financial solutions for your building project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Allymont Finance assist first-time homebuyers in Australia?

Allymont Finance provides comprehensive support to first-time homebuyers, recognising that purchasing your initial property can feel overwhelming. We explain the entire home buying process, from pre-approval through settlement, ensuring you understand each step. Our team helps you determine your borrowing capacity and identifies government incentives available to first-time buyers, such as the First Home Owner Grant and stamp duty concessions in Victoria. We'll discuss deposit requirements, including options for lower deposit loans with Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Additionally, we provide guidance on budgeting for ongoing costs like rates, insurance, and maintenance. Our goal is to educate and support you through this significant financial decision.

Does Allymont Finance charge fees for their brokerage services?

Allymont Finance operates on a commission-based model, which means our remuneration comes from the lenders rather than directly from our clients for standard home loan applications. This arrangement allows us to provide our expertise and services while our costs are covered by the financial institutions. However, some specialised services or complex commercial lending scenarios may involve specific fees, which we'll discuss transparently before proceeding. We believe in complete transparency regarding any costs involved in your finance arrangement. Our team will clearly explain all fees associated with your loan, including lender fees, government charges, and any applicable service charges before you commit to any application.

How does Allymont Finance stay current with changes in lending policies and interest rates?

Allymont Finance maintains strong relationships with our panel of lenders, receiving regular updates on policy changes, new products, and rate movements. Our team participates in ongoing professional development, attends industry seminars, and maintains memberships with relevant professional bodies to stay informed about regulatory changes and market developments. We receive direct communication from lenders about policy updates, which allows us to advise clients promptly about changes that may affect their applications or existing loans. This current knowledge enables us to provide accurate, up-to-date advice and identify new opportunities that may benefit our clients. Regular market analysis also helps us anticipate trends and prepare clients for potential changes in lending conditions.

How does working with a mortgage broker differ from approaching banks directly?

When you work with Allymont Finance, you gain access to multiple lenders through a single point of contact, rather than approaching each bank individually. This approach saves considerable time and effort in comparing loan products and terms. As your broker, we handle the application process, documentation, and communication with lenders on your behalf. We possess detailed knowledge of various lenders' policies, criteria, and current rates, which enables us to identify suitable options that align with your financial situation. Additionally, we can often access wholesale rates and loan products that aren't available to the general public through direct bank applications.

What types of properties can Allymont Finance help clients purchase or refinance?

Allymont Finance assists clients with financing for various property types across Australia, including residential homes, units, townhouses, and investment properties. We also handle commercial property financing, including office buildings, retail spaces, industrial properties, and mixed-use developments. Our services extend to unique property types such as rural properties, properties on large acreage, and specialized commercial assets. Whether you're purchasing a family home in Melbourne's suburbs, an investment apartment, or expanding your business premises, we can identify suitable lending solutions. Some property types may require specialist lenders, and our team has the expertise to navigate these specific requirements and connect you with appropriate financing options.

What ongoing support does Allymont Finance provide after loan settlement?

Our relationship with clients extends beyond loan settlement, as we believe in providing ongoing value and support throughout your loan's life. We conduct regular reviews of your loan to ensure it continues to meet your needs and remains suitable as your circumstances change. This includes monitoring interest rate movements and identifying opportunities to refinance if advantageous terms become available. We also assist with loan variations, such as increasing limits for renovations or investment purposes. Our team remains available to answer questions about your loan and provide guidance on financial strategies. Additionally, we can help coordinate with your lender for any issues that may arise during the loan term.

How long does the mortgage application process typically take with Allymont Finance?

The timeframe for mortgage approval varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of your financial situation, the lender selected, and how quickly you can provide required documentation. Generally, pre-approval can be obtained within 24 to 48 hours once we have all necessary documents. Full approval typically takes between one to three weeks from submission to the lender. Some applications may require additional time if further documentation or property valuations are needed. We maintain regular communication throughout the process, providing updates on your application's progress and alerting you to any additional requirements. Our experience with various lenders helps us anticipate potential delays and work proactively to minimise processing time.
