Loans for new con­struc­tion

We offer home builders comprehensive financing for construction projects, from land purchase to completed property. Until the property is weatherproof, an unindexed short-term loan is provided, but at construction stage 2 (weatherproof building), the property becomes eligible for residential loans, with further financing available in stages as construction progresses.

When a property is fully built and reaches construction stage 4, loans of up to 80% of the construction cost or market value (whichever is lower) are available. Loans are only provided on first-lien position.

How do I apply?

Before starting, it's good to assess your situation by going through a credit assessment. If you're interested in learning more, you can send us a message at ibudalan@arionbanki.is or book an appointment with an advisor.

  • Cost and project plan must be in place

  • Initial equity must be 30% of the estimated construction cost

  • Maximum collateral ratio for construction is up to 70% of work phases at any given time

  • Fire insurance for properties under construction/construction insurance must be in place

Choosing the right mortgage

Choosing the right mortgage is a major decision that affects your household finances for many years. Therefore, it's important to understand how the choice of loan term and type can change both the payment burden and total cost. Whether the loan is indexed or non-indexed, and how long the loan term is, can have significant effects on payment burden and equity building.

How does the apartment purchase process work?

After checking your payment capacity and securing a down payment, it's time to find your dream property. This process can take varying amounts of time, but it's important to choose carefully and find a property that has most of the features you're looking for.

Most people have very clear ideas about what kind of apartment they're looking for and what requirements it needs to meet, but it's good to keep in mind that you may not find an apartment that fulfills all your wishes. When buying your first property, you often need to prioritize features and choose the property that checks the most boxes if you can't find one at the right price that meets all your criteria.
