MELBOURNE, VIC – 7 October 2026 –<\/strong> The Melbourne Mortgage Company<\/a> (TMMC) has launched its ‘Build Now, Pay Later’ home loan option, also known as ‘Pay on Completion’, designed to reduce the financial pressure on Victorians building a new home or investing in residential property. The specialized finance structure allows qualified home buyers and property investors to pause mortgage repayments for up to 12 months during the active build phase, eliminating out-of-pocket interest costs until the project is finished.<\/p>\n

With construction costs escalating across Victoria and general living expenses remaining high, many buyers face the costly challenge of paying rent or managing an existing mortgage while simultaneously funding progressive construction repayments. TMMC’s financing framework addresses this dual-expense burden directly, offering a structured path to property ownership without overlapping monthly payments during the construction period.<\/p>\n

Eliminating the Dual-Expense Burden During Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n

For many Australians, the cost of paying a current mortgage or residential rent alongside progress payments makes building a new home financially impractical. Under the ‘Build Now, Pay Later<\/a>‘ arrangement, eligible borrowers can defer standard mortgage repayments for up to 12 months while their home is actively under construction.<\/p>\n

During the repayment pause, accrued interest is capitalised into the remaining balance of the loan rather than billed monthly. Repayments begin once construction completes, allowing buyers to keep cash flow stable and retain cash reserves for essential completion expenses such as landscaping, window treatments, and furnishings.<\/p>\n

Key Features and Requirements of the Finance Structure<\/strong><\/p>\n

12-Month Repayment Deferral: Borrowers make no monthly mortgage payments during the construction period, aligning the start of repayments with their move-in date or the commencement of tenant lease income.<\/p>\n

Capitalised Interest Structure: Interest accrued during the build phase is rolled directly into the total remaining loan balance, avoiding monthly out-of-pocket interest bills.<\/p>\n

Minimal Upfront Deposit: The product allows eligible buyers to secure financing with minimal initial cash outlays, lowering entry barriers while preserving household liquidity.<\/p>\n

Accredited Builder Network: To access the repayment deferral terms, home buyers select a builder from TMMC’s Accredited Builder Network, ensuring projects adhere to participating lender standards.<\/p>\n

Investor Cash Flow Alignment: Property investors<\/a> can defer loan servicing costs until construction is finished, allowing the completed property to generate rental income right from the start of regular repayments.<\/p>\n

Supporting First Home Buyers and Investors Alike<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ‘Build Now, Pay Later’ program forms part of TMMC’s broader commitment to delivering tailored property finance solutions across Victoria. First home buyers using the structure can combine the loan features with eligible state and federal government schemes, including first home owner grants, to lower their overall entry costs into the housing market.<\/p>\n

By coordinating directly with accredited builders, managing lender requirements, and handling administrative processes from initial assessment through to settlement, TMMC works to remove hurdles for buyers and accelerate the delivery of new housing stock across Greater Melbourne.<\/p>\n
