Rent roll finance. Built around your agency.

Specialist rent roll lending for Australian real estate principals. Acquisition, refinance and succession finance structured around your portfolio and business cash flow.

What is rent roll finance?

Rent roll finance is business lending that uses a real estate agency’s property management portfolio and recurring management income in the credit and security assessment. It can support acquisitions, refinancing and changes in ownership.

We assess recurring management income, portfolio quality, debt commitments and the purchase terms together. We then structure the facilities, prepare the lender approach and coordinate requirements through to settlement.

Rent roll lending, explained.

Can you borrow against a rent roll?

Some lenders accept a rent roll as business security. The available debt depends on the portfolio assessment, business cash flow, existing facilities and lender policy. Additional security or guarantees may be required.

How does rent roll acquisition finance work?

The funding is structured around the purchase price, your contribution, existing debt and settlement terms. Where the contract includes retention or staged payments, the proposed drawdowns need to reflect those obligations.

Can I refinance or fund a partner buyout?

Rent roll lending can support a refinance or ownership change, subject to assessment. We review the current debt, ownership structure, repayment capacity and security before approaching suitable lenders.

What information should I prepare?

A current rent roll report, business financial statements, existing debt details and an outline of the transaction are useful starting points. For an acquisition, include the proposed contract and payment terms. We will confirm the documents required for your circumstances.
