Funding Your Project Just Got Easier

Renovating your home can be one of the most exciting projects you’ve ever undertaken. It can also be costly, depending on their nature. At Asbury Remodeling & Construction, we want to help make sure the process of financing as hassle-free as possible.  We work with several lenders and can help you find the option that works best for your needs.

If you are planning to build a new home or improve your home with a large renovation, it is likely that financing is an integral part of your decision-making process. From our experience working in banking and in construction finance, we understand that many homeowners can feel overwhelmed at times by the mortgage process.

You may find yourself asking "How much can I afford? How much will the Bank loan to me? How does a construction loan work? What happens with my mortgage when construction is complete?" It is important that you understand your financing options as early in the process as possible and to make your construction decisions accordingly.

But with the ever-changing nature of credit markets, the options available to you for financing are different from bank to bank and client to client.  Using our experience in mortgage lending and residential construction, we can help guide you through the financing process and assist you in securing the right loan for your project and your budget.

Financing Overview

For both new construction and large renovations, the most common loan product available to finance your project is the Construction to Permanent Loan. The Construction to Permanent Loan (also called a "CP" loan) is a loan by which you, the Borrower, receive a "two-part" loan from the Lender to both build/rennovate your home and provide long-term financing when the construction is complete.

  • Construction-to-permanent renovation loans offer the following features to homeowners:
  • Construction period up to 15 months
  • No prepayment penalty
  • Interest-only payments during construction

Benefits

Construction-to-permanent renovation loans offer homeowners the following benefits:

  • Allows you to keep the home you love while meeting changing needs
  • May improve the value of your home
  • Offers convenience by combining all financing
  • Saves money by requiring only one set of closing costs

It is important that you as the Borrower receive a "Pre-Approval" from a reputable lender early in the process. This should be done before you finalize your costs and sign a contract with the Builder (and Seller, if applicable). Knowing your Pre-Approval Amount will help you in evaluating the scope of work for the project, and the final cost of construction.

The Construction to Permanent Loan

  • One application, one appraisal, and one approval process for both your construction loan and permanent mortgage.
  • The construction loan will pay for the purchase of the existing home, construction or renovation of the home itself, and for "soft" costs such as architectural design, permits, interest payments, etc.
  • The loan amount is based on both the Loan to Value and the Loan to Cost for the home. This amount can range from 80% to 95% of the final cost or appraised value of the home, depending on the borrower and project.
  • During the construction period, monthly payments are interest-only. Interest is calculated only on the amount of loan that is used, not on the approved amount.
  • For the permanent mortgage, you will be able to select from the wide-range of mortgage products available in the market.
