Multi-million dollar syndicated, multi-tranche construction lending

Higher volume, low-value NCCPA/code compliant lending

Small and large corporate and commercial finance transactions

Islamic finance

…and everything in between

Our team are experienced in all types of real property, be it leasehold, freehold, pubs, clubs, hotels, marinas, premium residential, apartment developments or significant land subdivisions. If the security offered is personal property, that is not a problem either, we understand the intricacies of the Personal Property Securities legislation. We can advise on appropriate security measures to ensure your risk appetite is appropriately and effectively secured.

If you need assistance with due diligence, we can help navigate and advise on put & call options, management agreements, leases, JVs, trust deeds, construction contracts, planning and DA-related reviews, pre-sales and licensing concerns.

We understand licensing, regulator and compliance issues and can tailor advice for AML, SMSF Lending, FIRB or NCCP compliance.

Whatever your credit risk appetite is, we can assist and help structure and secure your or your investors’ money, getting the job done swiftly without compromising on quality.
