Whether you’re looking to build your new family home or an addition to your portfolio, building your own brings with it flexibility in design, location and the financial set up that gets you there.
Speak with a home loan consultant today to discuss your options.
There’s a loan ready-made for building a home from Defence Bank in the form of our construction, or interest-only home loans. Available with our Essentials or Essentials with Ultimate Package options, you’ll only pay the interest on the loan during the construction phase, up to a maximum of 12 months.
This puts you in a stronger financial position during the challenging building period, while also offering the added features of our Essentials home loans including a competitive low rate, offset account and free redraw facility. If you’re part of the ADF family, these loans are also DHOAS compatible.
You can buy a new or used car or motorcycle up to, and including, 5 years old with a car loan. If you would like to purchase an older car, contact us as you may do so with a personal loan.
You need to have at least 5% genuine savings plus enough funds to cover fees and charges.
Where you have less than a 20% deposit, lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) or, if you are eligible, a Home Guarantee Scheme will be required. Speak to a lender to find out more.
The Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (DHOAS) assists current and former Australian Defence Force (ADF) members and their families to achieve homeownership.
DHOAS is administered by the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) on behalf of the Department of Defence.
DHOAS provides eligible current and former serving members of the Permanent Force and the Reserves with a subsidy on the interest of their home loans.
The subsidy is paid monthly, directly into a DHOAS home loan. The amount of subsidy you receive depends on your subsidy tier level and the balance of your home loan up to your subsidised loan limit.
