The difference between home loans and building loans
A building loan is used to build a new home on vacant land or to renovate an existing property. It is paid out in a series of progress payments that are released by the bank at various stages of construction. A home loan is paid out as a single sum and typically runs over a longer period than a building loan.
How building loans are paid out
A building Loan is paid out as construction progresses – usually in four progress payments – rather than in a lump sum. You trigger the release of funds each time by completing a payment progress form and submitting it to the bank. The bank will send a valuer to inspect the building work. If sufficient progress has been made to justify the amount requested, the funds will be released to the builder. If you have put down a deposit, this will be used first, before progress payments are released.

I applied for a building loan with Wena Coetzee and Odette Martin of BetterBond Nelspruit. I received service beyond expectation. I can recommend BetterBond to anyone who is considering asking for a loan to make the biggest investment of your life.

I was told there was no hope of getting a 100% building loan. I called Carlise van Loggerenberg at BetterBond, I supplied all the documents and within 5 days I was granted a 100% loan by 2 banks! She did it the first time and has done it again. Big ups!
