Hello,
I would like to apply for vacant land loan.
Could you please let me know if you offer such a loan and if yes how can I apply?
Thanks
Hi Jana,
Thanks for reaching out.
finder.com.au is an online comparison service so we are not a lender and we don’t provide loans ourselves. However, you can learn more about vacant home loans on this page.
Please keep in mind that these types of loan typically have a lower loan-to-value (LVR) ratio due to the conservative approach that lenders have for vacant land loans.
If you’d like to discuss your eligibility for a vacant land home loan, please get in touch with a mortgage broker to discuss your options.
All the best,
Belinda
I am looking for a land loan. Could you point me in the direction with information.
Thank you
Hi Rachel,
Thanks for getting in touch.
You might be interested to read our page about vacant land home loans and you can compare a range of construction loans on this page.
Keep in mind that lenders often take a conservative approach towards vacant land and construction home loans and they may offer a lower maximum LVR compared to traditional home loans. As a result, you may need to complete a larger deposit in order to be approved.
All the best,
Belinda
Hi,
I’m looking for a suitable home loan as a first home buyer. Would a broker get a better deal if I use one or I can get the same deal if I do it myself direct to the bank?
Regards
Hi Ed,
thanks for the question.
Brokers can sometimes get access to special broker only rates, but on the flip side, some online lenders only deal with consumers, not brokers. It might be a good idea to compare rates and see what deals are available and then speak to a broker once you’re aware of the rates on offer. This way you can be sure you get the best deal for you.
I hope this helps,
Marc.

In some cases, lenders, such as Bank of Queensland (BOQ) accept non-refundable gifts to go towards a deposit. However, BOQ will treat each application on a case-by-case basis so you will need to get in touch with BOQ directly to discuss your children’s application.
I hope you find this useful.

My mother aged 70yrs is moving to Australia from NZ. She will bring with her $300K for a new home but will be about $50k short. She is on NZ Superannuation and qualifies for the aged pension here (approx $870 fortnight). Would she qualify for a home loan for the shortfall or would her age prevent this?
Hi Jules,
Thanks for your question.
These types of applications are handled on a case by case basis, so it’s best to get in touch with BoQ directly to enquire about your mother’s eligibility. BoQ will look at your mother’s situation and assess her against their lending criteria.
Cheers,
Shirley
