COMMERCIAL PROPERTY LOAN

The lending ratio (known as the Loan to Value Ratio or LVR) can vary between property asset classes, and between banks. The LVR is also determined by the loan servicing support provided.

It is important that you review the market at the time you want to change your financial arrangements.

Eakins Finance can assess and advise you on your options. Contact us for a free consultation.

Most lenders require 100% pre-sales or leasing commitments prior to providing finance. However, there are alternative funding options available that may require fewer pre-sales if the project has other strengths.

An important factor banks will consider is your experience in similar projects; they also value experience in smaller projects related to the proposed one.

Talk to one of our brokers to find out more.

Three key factors banks will look at are:

• the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR)
• servicing position of the debt
• the leasing profile of the asset.

The LVR needs to be under a certain threshold, or the income source must be able to meet accelerated repayments to bring the debt back within policy over a shorter time.

In cases where the LVR is low, you may be comfortable with an interest-only facility to free your cash flow for other asset purchases.

If, for example, you can confirm a new, long-term anchor tenant, you should be able to secure better finance terms that what was previously on offer.
