Planning to Acquire Land for Development? We’re Here to Help You Lay the Groundwork
Whether you’re securing a raw site or acquiring land with future development potential, having the right finance in place is key. Land acquisition finance helps you move quickly on strategic opportunities—without tying up valuable capital or slowing your project timeline.
Acquisition Finance Designed for Business Growth
Unlike traditional property loans, land acquisition finance is designed to fund the purchase of vacant or low-improvement land. It plays a vital role in the early phase of your project, giving you the ability to act on prime sites while maintaining liquidity for planning, approvals, or later-stage construction funding.

Common Questions About Land Acquisition Finance
What LVR can I expect for land finance?
Loan-to-Value Ratios are generally lower than for built assets—often ranging from 50% to 70%, depending on location, asset type, and lender appetite.
Do I need development approval to get finance?
Not necessarily. While some lenders prefer approved projects, others will fund land acquisition based on feasibility and borrower profile.
Can I finance land under a trust or company?
Yes. We assist with loans for land acquired through companies, trusts, or development entities—ensuring the structure aligns with your strategy.
What’s the typical loan term?
Land loans are often short to medium-term (6 to 24 months), depending on your exit plan or transition to construction finance.
Is land finance available to first-time developers?
It can be—especially if supported by a strong business case or experienced team. We’ll help assess your options and present your application clearly.
