    I currently own a property with one block of 3 units on (2×2, 1×1) and have recently approached a building services firm to assist with an application for the construction of an additional block of units (2×2, 2×1) subject to council approval.

    I am as yet undecided on whether i will sell the block with the DA or if i will pay a builder to construct these for me.

    If i do get these new units built – could someone fill me in on finance requirements (Deposit, new loan or extension of existing facilities, likely interest rates etc)

    Existing details are below
    bought in Dec 03 for $130K (80% LVR with Colonial)
    Revalued shortly after for $165K to draw down equity (80% LVR)
    Current guesstimate on valuation $220K (based on sales of other similar properties)

    Would the bank use existing equity to finance construction?

    Hope you can help

    If you get a fixed price contract with a builder then most construction loans should suit.

    Probably a rate under 7% and you should be able to use equity.

    I cannot be more specific without more info. But I don’t imagine you will have too much trouble.
