Commercial Building Loans - Building Finance | Hodgestone Finance

How do I finance building my commercial property / development?

There are a number of different financing structures you can utilise to get your building or development project off the ground.

Whether you’re looking for mezzanine finance options, investment property loans or non-conforming loans for developments without 100% debt coverage in pre-sales, Hodgestone Finance’s wide network of bank and non-bank options means we can secure the right building loan for you.

What is a commercial bridging building loan?

In a commercial context, a bridging building loan is a type of short term loan that can function as an urgent settlement fund before you’ve got your proper funding lined up.

This can be useful, as it saves times - and pre-sales tend to increase as the actual brick and mortar “building” of the project begins.

What are the pro’s of a commercial bridging building loan?

Some benefits include –

1. You can begin financing your next commercial build or development sooner
2. Get a better price on your current property by having the time to find the right buyer.
3. Flexibility to reduce overall loan interest by making P&I repayments if you can.

What is a low doc building loan?

Low doc building loans are flexible building finance options for people without the necessary documentation (like tax returns) for a bank loan.

It’s a great option for; self-employed sole traders, developers with an ABN under two years old, projects lacking pre-sales or anyone else who fits into a ‘non conforming’ category, i.e. unable to meet many of the other stringent benchmarks set by most banks.

What do you need to get low doc building finance?

The key documents needed for a low doc loan are: –

1. ABN
2. Business activity statements
3. A statement from your accountant

Depending on the particular loan we organize, other documents may be needed - please call to receive our self-employed applicant checklist.

We also offer a range of non-conforming loan options - meaning that even if you have bad credit, there’s still a way to get your project off the ground.

What is a building finance broker?

A building finance broker, much like a regular finance broker, is an intermediary between you (the borrower) and a third party (usually a bank).

At Hodgestone Finance, we’re a specialist peer-to-peer broker for standard and bridging building loans.
