Construction Loan Options For New Builds In 2025

Christchurch, New Zealand – April 2025 – With land developments on the rise and buyers increasingly opting to build rather than buy existing homes, securing the right construction loan is more important than ever.

Construction loans differ significantly from turn-key home loans. They are typically paid out in stages, aligning with various phases of the build — from earthworks to lock-up. This requires close coordination between the borrower, lender, and builder to ensure funds are released on time and according to progress milestones.

Advanced Mortgage Solutions supports clients through this process by identifying lenders with flexible construction loan policies, low deposit requirements, and competitive interest rates. They also assist in choosing between build-only contracts and full turnkey solutions, depending on the client’s budget and desired level of involvement.

As building costs and timeframes vary, having the right loan structure in place can make or break a project’s success. Mortgage brokers play a key role in keeping things on track, avoiding delays, and ensuring the final home loan aligns with the post-construction property value.

For buyers entering the new build market in 2025, getting a construction loan with the right terms and guidance can turn a vision into reality — with minimal stress.
