Credit for modular or prefabricated houses? Find out which banks finance them (and under what conditions)

SAPO Notícias28 August 2026 at 08:15

The article discusses the possibility of obtaining bank credit for the purchase or construction of modular or prefabricated houses. These dwellings are built in factories, through modules, and later transported and installed on the intended land.

The text indicates that there are banks that provide financing for this type of housing, although conditions may vary. The article appears to be part of a more extensive guide that explains which financial institutions offer this type of credit and under what specific conditions.

Modular houses are distinguished by the industrialized construction method, where components are manufactured in a controlled environment and then assembled on-site. This approach may offer advantages in terms of construction timeline and quality control, although the financing issue has traditionally been a barrier for many buyers.

The article's goal is to inform readers about the credit options available in the market for those looking to acquire a modular or prefabricated house, demystifying the idea that this type of construction is not eligible for traditional bank financing.
