    Hello,

    Does anyone know if lenders check your credit file each time you make a progressive drawdown on a an already approved construction loan? or just at the beginning before you start building?

    Just at the beginning for the one I'm currently doing.

    Valuer visits prior to every progress stage payment to ensure its done, though.

    At application - the progress payments are handled by the construction teams who just verify works completed and then distribute funds as necessary. Would be very nasty otherwise!

    So just to confirm, each drawdown would not leave a separate enquiry either? CHeers

    Nope, otherwise people would have like 6 hits per dwelling they built and no one would ever be able to get loans again.

    Do lenders know if you proceed with an inquiry? or just that you made an inquiry?

    Historically just made an inquiry, however some lenders are slowly starting to report more information.
