Transaction and timeframe
Clarify what is being funded, how much is required and when. Commercial, SMSF, asset and bridging scenarios can have materially different requirements.
Borrower and ownership
Identify the individuals, companies, trusts or fund structures involved. Obtain legal, tax or financial advice where the structure extends beyond lending guidance.
Evidence and total cost
Prepare available income, asset, property and liability information. Compare rates, fees, conditions, security, repayment obligations and the proposed exit.
Explore self-employed lending, next-home finance or discuss a specialist scenario.
Specialist lending questions
Clear answers for a less standard scenario
Specialist products, criteria and risks vary. The transaction and complete borrower position should be reviewed together.
What is specialist lending?
Specialist lending describes finance pathways for transactions or borrower circumstances that may not fit a standard home-loan process. It can include commercial property, SMSF, asset, bridging or alternative-documentation lending, subject to lender policy.
Who may need a specialist lending conversation?
It may be relevant where income evidence is complex, a business or trust is involved, the property or loan purpose is unusual, timing is tight or standard lender criteria do not fit the position.
Is specialist lending intended to be permanent?
That depends on the purpose and structure. Some facilities are designed for a specific term or transition, while others may be longer-term. Exit strategy, total cost, conditions and future refinancing options should be considered at the outset.
What information helps assess a specialist lending scenario?
Useful information can include the loan purpose, amount, timeframe, borrower and ownership structure, property or asset details, income evidence, liabilities, available contribution and intended exit strategy.
This information is general and does not consider your objectives, financial situation or needs. Lending criteria, fees and rates can change.
