At Trilogy, we understand time is of the essence for property developers.
In an industry where project delays can result in rising costs and increased risk, flexibility is key.
With funds readily available from our pooled mortgage fund, we provide a competitive and agile option for property development and construction finance.
Pooled mortgage funds vs contributory mortgage funds
When it comes to providing finance, contributory mortgage funds raise funds for specific projects on a case-by-case basis, and with some trusts, a drawdown-by-drawdown basis. A contributory fund is typically open until investors have invested enough capital to fund a loan and take mortgage security over a single asset.
On the other hand, open-ended pooled mortgage funds, like our Trilogy Monthly Income Trust, remain open and investments can be made at any time. This means that funds are always available.
With that considered, upon receiving a loan application, our team is able to turn around an indication of support and proposed terms typically within 48 hours, subject to the completeness of the loan application.
Having availability of funds also ensures each drawdown is met on time throughout the life of a property development or construction project.
Tailored project support
We are passionate about property.
Unlike the big banks, we are less focused on your presales and more interested in your property development experience, reputation and quality of the business and marketing plans, as well as a current target loan-to-valuation ratio (LVR) no greater than 65% of the gross realisable value (GRV).
We judge each loan application we receive on its individual merits and risks. As a result, our funding packages are adjusted accordingly to suit your project needs.
Interest is typically capitalised and repayments generally aren’t required to commence until project completion, enabling you to free up capital during construction.
Thanks to our comprehensive network of property professionals, we can also coordinate value-add services such as quantity surveying, project management and real estate agency services, should you require additional project support.
Property market positivity and increased property demand
In February, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) indicated that interest rates will be held at a record-low 0.1% until at least 2024. In light of this, Westpac chief economist Bill Evans has predicted, alongside senior economist Matthew Hassan, a 15% national property price “surge” from now to 2023.
Our Head of Lending and Property Assets, Clinton Arentz notes
“Many key regional areas are performing the best they have in many years, with strong demand for house and land packages, prestige housing, as well as apartments and townhouses.”
The booming online shopping space has led to demand for quality industrial assets as well. Despite near-record supply, elevated demand has supported the stability of the rental market, according to JLL, creating an attractive prospect for new industrial projects.
