What Is Homepay?
Building a new home often means balancing rent, mortgage, or loan repayments during construction — but with Homepay, you don’t have to.
Homepay is a trusted, lender-backed finance option available exclusively through accredited builders like SJD Homes. It allows you to pause your out-of-pocket mortgage and land loan repayments for up to 12 months while your home is being built, giving you financial breathing room to focus on the exciting parts of the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Homepay different from a standard construction loan in Australia?
With a standard construction loan, you start making repayments almost immediately on both land and build costs. Homepay lets you pause those out-of-pocket repayments for up to 12 months while your home is being built.
How does Homepay help me increase my borrowing capacity?
Traditional loans limit what you can borrow because repayments start straight away. With Homepay, repayments are deferred for up to 12 months, which means lenders can often extend your borrowing capacity by up to 30%.
What deposit do I need to get started with Homepay?
Homepay deposits start from just 8% for owner-occupiers and 10% for investors, making it easier to secure your home sooner.
Can I use Homepay with any SJD Homes single or double storey design?
Yes. Homepay is available across all SJD Homes designs, from single storey to double storey homes. This means you can choose the style and layout that suits your lifestyle and budget best.
Who provides the finance for Homepay with SJD Homes?
Homepay is powered by an independent, accredited lender who partners with trusted builders like SJD Homes, so your finance is managed by an experienced provider.
What happens if my home build takes longer than 12 months with Homepay?
If your build goes beyond the 12-month repayment-free period, your regular repayments will simply begin once the pause ends.
Can I use Homepay for house & land packages?
Yes. Under Homepay, out-of-pocket repayments on both the house and the land are paused for up to 12 months during construction, which is exactly how house-and-land packages are typically financed.
Is Homepay available for knockdown & rebuild projects?
Homepay functions like a standard construction loan with one key difference: repayments are paused during the build. Eligibility for Knockdown and rebuild depends on lender assessment (valuation, demolition and site works, loan structure) and SJD’s accreditation on your project.
Best next step: speak with an SJD Homes consultant to confirm whether your specific KDR is eligible under Homepay.
Is there a catch with Homepay or hidden costs I should know about?
There isn’t one, but while repayments are paused, interest still accrues on your loan. The benefit is that you won’t feel the financial strain during construction.
