Modular Home Loans Australia

Planning a modular home (prefab / off-site build / transportable style) in Australia? The build can be faster and more predictable than a traditional project home — but the finance needs to match how your builder invoices, how the home becomes “real property”, and what the bank can accept as security.

This guide explains how modular home finance works, the loan structures lenders actually approve, the documents you’ll need, and the common traps that delay progress payments. If you’re early-stage, start with your numbers: our Max Borrowing Calculator and Mortgage Repayment Calculator give you a clean reality check.
