What is a Home Construction Loan?
Personal construction loans offer short-term financing for the costs associated with building a new home. You can also use a home construction loan to make improvements or add an addition to an existing structure. Construction loan terms may vary depending on the project, but the average is one year. Once the work is completed, Peoples Bank will convert your construction loan into permanent financing. The benefit of a single close construction loan is that you avoid the hassle and cost of a second closing when it’s time to obtain permanent financing.
How do Construction Loans Work?
To apply for a construction loan, you’ll need to provide supporting documents such as a construction timetable, builders contract, detailed plans, and a budget. Our Mortgage Experts will help you through the application process.
