Commercial Property Loan

What is a Commercial Property Loan?

Properties come in various shapes and sizes and are categorised into segments, namely residential, commercial, industrial or rural.

The nature and manner of lending for commercial property largely depends on the purpose/requirement for funds and various other factors, such as location, the asset itself and the Loan to Value Ratio (LVR). This can frame the pricing that is available, coupled with the LVR that a lender is prepared to extend against a subject property.

Commercial property can be a great long term investment for you personally as well as your business.
