    Are there any other lenders outside the four banks and non apra lenders that could help?

    Do you get better rates/less hoops to jump thru if your lvr is lower? I.e safer for lender

    For example you are borrowing just 40% of end value.

    Not necessarily rate can be higher as your loan amount might be in a lower threshold.

    That is not going to help the OP with obtaining finance thou, that is purely a control on what can be developed on the land.

    The banks and purchasers need a title, which can only be released if you take out a S.173.

    You still have to develop in accordance with the planning permit and cant occupy the dwelling until all works as per the permit have been completed.

    That's not correct. I have obtained subdivision titles without S173 by doing as I have suggested.

    A restriction on title is called a S.173. What are you talking about exactly?

    I am talking about exactly what I said, re read the posts.


    A S173 agreement is an agreement registered on title. It is one mechanism to doing what you have suggested. Another mechanism is as I have suggested a restriction on the plan of subdivision which then becomes a restriction on the title plan. Another mechanism is a memorandum of common provisions.

    Great advice right there! Separate titles, therefore pretty much falls right into resi finance guidelines. You'll now have most mainstream lenders look at this type of scenario.

    I've used S173 agreements previously but this is a great alternative. I'll keep this in mind if needed :)
