Sydney commercial finance, structured properly.

Sydney is Australia's deepest and most liquid commercial property market, which means more lender appetite — but also more nuance. Pricing varies materially between the CBD financial core, the metro office markets of North Sydney and Parramatta, and the industrial belts stretching west to Eastern Creek and Erskine Park.

Our job is to read the deal the way a credit committee will read it: tenant covenant, lease term, building grade, and location. We then take it to the two or three lenders most likely to deliver sharp pricing and clean conditions — instead of shotgunning the market and hoping for the best.

Whether you're a Sydney-based business owner buying your own premises, a syndicate acquiring a fully-leased industrial asset, or an SMSF locking in a long-term medical tenancy, we have a finance pathway sized for the deal.

Property types we finance in Sydney

From CBD office floors to suburban warehouses, we structure debt across every commercial asset class active in the Sydney market.

CBD & Metro Office

A and B-grade office floors in the financial core, North Sydney, Chatswood and Parramatta. Strong appetite where tenant covenant is solid.

Industrial & Logistics

Warehousing and last-mile distribution in Eastern Creek, Yennora, Smithfield, Botany and the Southern Sydney industrial belt.

Retail & Mixed Use

High-street retail in suburbs like Bondi, Crows Nest and Newtown, plus mixed-use strata in growth corridors.

Medical & Childcare

Specialist asset classes with long WALEs — favoured by Lease Doc and SMSF lenders for predictable cash flow.

Development Sites

DA-approved sites for residential, mixed-use and BTR. Senior debt, mezzanine and stretch facilities available.

Hospitality & Accommodation

Pubs, hotels and serviced apartment strata — going-concern and freehold structures considered case-by-case.

Local market context

  • Lender appetite for Sydney is consistently the strongest in the country — but pricing power sits with borrowers who present a clean, well-packaged submission. We do the packaging.
  • Industrial demand in Western Sydney remains structurally tight, with sub-2% vacancy in the M7 corridor driving repeat lender appetite for tenanted product.
  • CBD office is bifurcated: prime A-grade with strong tenants attracts competitive pricing, while secondary B/C grade requires specialist or non-bank funding.
  • Several non-bank lenders now offer faster Sydney metro settlements (21 days) for clean Full Doc deals, particularly useful where vendors are pushing tight timeframes.
  • Stamp duty and transfer costs in NSW are material — factor 5.5–6.5% on top of purchase price into your funding requirement.

Sydney commercial loan FAQs

Most lenders cap commercial LVRs at 65–70% for investment property and up to 75–80% for owner-occupiers. SMSF transactions typically max out at 70–75% LVR. The actual number depends on the asset class, tenant covenant, and your borrowing entity. We'll model the maximum across our panel before you offer.
