What happens when my home construction is completed?

Once your home is complete your permanent mortgage loan (30, 20 or 15 year fixed) is nothing more than a refinance of the construction loan.

How is the money for construction accessed?

Your construction loan functions like a line of credit. You only pay interest on what you “use.” Your builder will submit draws monthly. 

Do I need an appraisal for a construction loan?

Yes, you or your builder will provide Union Bank with blueprints, a new home specification sheet, and contract. We will then arrange for an appraisal based on these plans and specs.

Which types of mortgages are eligible for refinancing?
  • Conventional Loans, including Fixed Rate and Jumbo Loans
  • VA Loans, administered by the Department of Veteran Affairs
  • FHA Loans, through the Federal Housing Administration
Should I refinance my home?

Although each situation is different, there are several reasons to refinance including:

  • To lower your monthly principal and interest payments.
