Commercial property loans are used to buy, refinance or release equity from commercial properties such as offices, warehouses, retail shops, factories and mixed-use assets.
Commercial lending is different from residential lending because lenders focus heavily on property type, borrower strength, lease income, business performance and exit strategy.
Who uses commercial property loans?
Commercial property loans may suit:
- Business owners buying premises
- Investors purchasing income-producing properties
- SMSF borrowers acquiring commercial assets
- Companies or trusts refinancing commercial debt
- Property owners seeking equity release
What lenders assess
Lenders may review:
- Property value and location
- Lease terms and rental income
- Tenant quality
- Borrower income and financials
- Business trading history
- Loan-to-value ratio
- Repayment strategy
Loan terms and repayments
Commercial loans may have shorter loan terms than residential loans, and interest rates may vary depending on the asset, borrower profile, documentation type and lender appetite.
Full doc, alt doc and lease doc options
Some borrowers use full financials, while others may qualify under alt doc or lease doc policies depending on the lender and transaction type.
