Finance for Owner Builders

In recent times, some financial institutions have tightened their requirements for owner builder finance. In fact, we understand that one of the major banks has stepped back from the owner builder market entirely.

That said, DirectBuild works closely with several major lenders and these lenders are actively competing for owner builder business, offering flexible terms and very competitive rates. 

Should your lending institution indicate any reluctance to consider your financing requirements, we would be happy to direct you to the right people at the major lenders we work with to help make the process easier for you.

Suggestions from Successful Owner Builders

Devote the time and attention necessary to get your plans right for you, your family, your site and your budget. Late changes to plans can be costly and lead to errors and confusion.

Also, for budgetary purposes, decisions on the quality of fit-out are critical. Spend the time to think through your requirements and do the shopping around up-front as far as possible, so the risk of budget over-runs are minimised.
