The Benefits

Owner of a large residential allotment (previously owner occupied) in a well established Melbourne suburb secured a Planning Permit to subdivide the property into residential lots. All pre-sold. However, this was the Borrower's first experience in development. Borrower's core business was not property development/investment.

The existing Mortgagee was unable to provide any form of further funding due to the impact of the Global Financial Crisis. Balmain Commercial successfully structured, presented and negotiated the application for development funding with an alternative Lender.

The approval provided a two tranche release of funds:

  • Tranche 1 - 60% project related site value with funds used to refinance existing loan and surplus funds used for working capital in Borrower's core business; and
  • Tranche 2 - development funding.
