Hi, I was wondering if there is anyone that has done a 4 on 1 title development recently? It has become almost impossible to do this under residential (even PN Bank is now only doing 3 max) and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck in this area lately? As a residential mortgage broker I can only access a few commercial options so I am curious to know how others have gone about this lately. Thanks
How bad are other lenders offering at 80% ? We are in a 'cheap money' environment. Anything up to 6-7% would still be considered better than the long term average for a commercial loan. pinkboy
Don't bother with St George as they will reduce the LVR. Only RAMS and Bankwest will do 4 unit construction on a single title. If the development is under a company entity then you will need to do this via business banking @ Bankwest and its a nightmare. Also depending on the loan amount (i.e. above $2mil) you will need to do it@ 70% LVR. Although not on your panel - the best thing would be to refer the client to RAMS. They even consider 5 units construction.
Great thanks, I just came across Bankwest in this regard, and I didn't look at them earlier because I thought it would be well out of their comfort zone. Rate is great too so I'm very pleased.
