Knock down rebuild finance questions
What this section covers
Every page here answers one question people ask when they are weighing up a knock down rebuild: how the loan is put together, whether the old mortgage has to be cleared first, how much deposit or equity is needed, how the lender values a house that does not exist yet, how the builder gets paid, and where you live while it happens.
The answers are general. Lender policy on construction lending varies more than it does on standard home loans, which is exactly why a specialist who does these deals regularly is worth talking to before you sign a building contract.
