• Up to 80% LVR
• Residential and Commercial security
• Full Doc and Alt Doc lending
• Prime and Near Prime borrower options

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. A Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) can purchase commercial property, provided the purchase complies with superannuation legislation and the fund’s investment strategy. Many investors use an SMSF to acquire offices, warehouses, retail premises, industrial properties and medical suites as part of their long-term retirement planning.

Because SMSF borrowing has specific legal and lending requirements, it’s important to seek advice from your accountant, financial adviser and solicitor before proceeding. Nicky Orchard and Sami Orchard can then help arrange a suitable SMSF Commercial Loan once your strategy is in place.

In many cases, yes. Unlike residential property, commercial property purchased through an SMSF can generally be leased to a related business, provided the arrangement complies with superannuation legislation and the lease is conducted on arm’s length commercial terms. This is a common strategy used by business owners who want their business to occupy premises owned by their SMSF while building wealth for retirement. Professional accounting and legal advice should always be obtained before entering into these arrangements.
The required deposit will depend on the lender, the property and your individual circumstances. Some lenders offer borrowing of up to 80% of the property’s value, meaning a minimum deposit of 20% may be required, plus sufficient funds to cover stamp duty, legal fees and other purchasing costs. Nicky and Sami can help you understand your borrowing capacity and explain which lenders may be suitable for your situation.
