Good to know…

We’ll go over everything when we chat. But here are five things you should know about financing a commercial property development.

  • A feasibility study involves crunching number to provide a clear vision of your property development plans, helping you to determine potential costs, profit, and necessary investment.

  • The bank will undertake two valuations - one for the construction cost plus the land value, and one for the on completion value. The bank bases the final loan amount on the lower of the two valuations.

  • A commercial development loan is like a residential construction loan except banks are a little tighter with the LVR (Loan-To-Value Ratio). You calculate it by dividing the loan amount by the property purchase price or valuation, then multiplying it by 100.

  • There are several options for loan security. A Registered mortgage over the property, a general Security Agreement (GSA), a directors’/shareholders’ guarantee, or the rights to designs and intellectual property.

  • Generally speaking, you should be able to borrow up to 50-60% of the property value. But that depends on location, population, and other factors that drive genuine need for the property and attract tenants to lease the premises.
