What Is a Land Loan?

A land loan is a type of finance designed specifically for purchasing vacant residential land. Unlike a standard home loan, land loans are used when there is no existing property built on the block.

Land loans can be used for:

  • Vacant residential land
  • Registered land ready to build on
  • Land and future construction plans
  • Investment land purchases

Because vacant land can carry more risk for lenders, land loans often have different lending requirements compared to traditional home loans. Deposit requirements, zoning, land size, and location can all impact approval.

At Fundli, we help simplify the process and compare lenders that suit your specific situation.

Can You Combine A Land Loan With A Construction Loan?

Yes. Many buyers choose to purchase land first and then transition into a construction loan when they are ready to build.

A construction loan allows funds to be released progressively throughout each stage of the build process, helping manage costs more effectively.

Fundli can assist with:

  • Land and construction loan packages
  • Builder requirements
  • Progress payment structures
  • Construction loan pre-approvals
  • Transitioning from land finance to building finance

  • A wider range of lenders
  • Better loan comparisons
  • Guidance around lender policies
  • Support with borrowing capacity
  • Help navigating the approval process

FAQs

What is a land loan?

A land loan is a type of financing used for purchasing vacant residential land. These loans are distinct from traditional home loans, which are used for properties that already have structures. Land loans generally require a larger deposit and may come with specific requirements based on the land’s zoning and intended use.

How do land loans work?

Land loans provide the necessary funds to purchase vacant residential land. Unlike home loans, they typically come with a larger deposit and more stringent approval conditions. The loan is secured against the land, and you will be responsible for any additional costs such as stamp duty, legal fees, and land surveys.

What can land loans be used for?

Land loans are used specifically for purchasing vacant residential land, either for immediate development or as an investment. They are not suitable for agricultural or commercial land, which require different types of loans.

Can I buy land before building?

Yes. Many buyers purchase land first and build later. Some lenders may require a timeframe for construction, while others are more flexible.

Are land loans harder to get approved for?

Land loans can sometimes have stricter lending criteria compared to standard home loans, particularly for rural or unregistered land.

Can I get pre-approval for a land loan?

Yes. Pre-approval can help you understand your borrowing capacity and budget before searching for land.

Can I use a guarantor for a land loan?

Some lenders allow guarantor support for land purchases, which may help reduce the upfront deposit required.
