Display Homes

Getting finance for a display home is not always easy. Most lenders won’t let you take a home loan on a display home or accept display homes as security for a loan. But it is possible to finance this unique type of property – let finweb show you how.

Why invest in a display home?

Display homes are the finest customised examples of what’s possible for potential buyers. The idea behind a display home is to fill it with top-end features to entice homeowners with a block of land to invest in the best of the best.

What many people don’t realise is that a display home can be an attractive investment in itself.

Here’s why:

  • Display homes are often a more affordable investment than other types of properties.
  • builders usually want to sell fast so they can invest in other projects.
  • Builders put more effort into making sure the display homes are the best example of what they can do.
  • High-end materials and finishes are included.
  • Buying a display home is less stressful and faster than building a similar new home.

The problem with financing a display home

The biggest challenge is that many display homes are bought under a leaseback arrangement. This is where you buy a home and lease it back to the builder while it’s used for display. At the end of the leaseback arrangement (usually no longer than 24 months), you can use the home as your residence or continue as a landlord for other tenants.

However, some lenders won’t finance a display home until the leaseback period with the builder has ended and the home is available to new tenants. Others won’t touch it at all.

Don’t miss out on a valuable investment.

The number of options might be limited for display homes, but they do exist. Talk to finweb about the finance options available. We can help you understand the criteria lenders will look at and work out whether a display home is the right investment for you.

Whatever journey you take in life, finweb has the solutions to help get you there. With our expertise in lending and credit advice, our team has the capacity to cater to your every need. Learn More.
