Construction Loan Options


Bank of Clarke offers two convenient options if you are building a home.

One Closing. Benefits include substantial cost savings and a streamlined process.

  • During the construction phase, you pay interest-only payments on your loan balance for up to 12 months. 
  • Once construction is complete, the occupancy permit is issued, and the contractor/builder is paid, we modify the construction loan into a permanent mortgage.
  • The permanent mortgage is like any other mortgage:  Chose from any of Bank of Clarke’s flexible conventional mortgage options.

Two Closings.  If you already have a home and need the money from the sale of your existing home to fund a down payment on new construction, this option may help you meet your goals.

  • Your first loan pays for the construction phase of your new home.  When you move in, you get a mortgage to pay off the construction debt.
  • You pay for two closings and two sets of fees – first on the construction loan and second on the permanent mortgage.
  • You can live in your current home while your next home is under construction.
  • During the construction phase, you pay interest-only payments on your loan balance for up to 12 months. 
  • Once construction is complete, the occupancy permit is issued, and the contractor/builder is paid, we modify the construction loan into a permanent mortgage.
  • The permanent mortgage is like any other mortgage:  Chose from any of Bank of Clarke’s flexible mortgage options.
