Access additional funds
A further loan is registered as an addition to your existing bond when you require funds. It can be used for improvements to your property, to fund a child's education, or for other large expenses and purchases. A further loan is not the same as a readvance because you are not changing to another lender - the further loan forms part of your existing bond.

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.
