How does our relocation loan work?

If you already have a Bank of Melbourne home loan with us, you might consider applying for a relocation loan.

If you're building a new home,

you can also use a relocation loan, living in your current home until construction is complete. You have 12 months after your first advance to build your new home, and sell the existing home.

If you're purchasing land to build a new home,

you can also use a relocation loan, living in your current home until the construction is complete. You have 12 months after your application to build your new home, and sell the existing home.


Choose from 2 options...

Option 1.

Standalone Relocation loan

You repay the loan in full when you sell your current home.
 

Repayments

No repayments are needed until you sell your home, at which point you repay the Relocation Loan in full. The balance you pay off will include interest, which is capitalised into the loan during the loan term.

Although not required, you can make additional lump sum payments at any time.

Option 2.

Relocation loan combined with a new loan

This option applies where you may have some debt remaining after the sale of your home. You set up two loans, a Relocation loan and a second home loan. The Relocation loan will be fully paid off by the property sale, with the remaining amount covered by the second home loan.

Repayments

No repayments are needed on the Relocation loan; the sale of your home will repay it. The balance you pay off will include interest, which is capitalised into the loan during the loan term. However, regular repayments will be required to be made on the second loan.

You can make additional payments at any time.
