Securing a commercial loan
Investing in commercial property comes with a different set of advantages to investing in residential real estate. Commercial property typically offers a higher rate of return but this is balanced by the potential of longer vacancy periods. Due to these differing circumstances and pressures, commercial property loans are assessed differently to residential loans.
The amount that you can borrow for a commercial property is largely determined by the type of property to be purchased and the purpose of the loan. Purchasing for investment for example, is considered a lower risk to the lender than purchasing property for your own business premises.

Key differences between commercial and residential properties
If you are unfamiliar with the key differences between commercial and residential properties, we have listed a few key points below.
- Residential leases typically have a term of 6 to 12 months, while commercial property leases run for longer terms.
- Commercial properties feature longer vacancy periods and the lessee bears the costs of maintenance, rates and repairs. This means the property owners pocket more of the rent as profit.
- Buying a commercial property involves paying Goods and Services Tax (GST), which may increase the cost of the property you’re looking to purchase by 10%.
- In residential properties, the property owner is responsible for these expenses.
