What do our property development & construction loan interest rates depend on?

When determining the interest rate level for each borrower group, we consider various factors and the strength of each.

  1. Property development experience | We look at a borrower group’s past projects and years of experience in property development and construction to determine their capability to deliver the project at hand.
  2. Project merit | Is the proposed project designed well, suitable to market and profitable? Is there a clear marketing strategy for sell down or refinance?
  3. Risk mitigants | The loan must be secured by a first registered mortgage. Pre-sales and/or pre-commitments can also play a part in de-risking a project.
  4. Project gearing | The lower the loan-to-value (LVR) ratio, the more inclined we are to consider the loan and provide funding at our premium rate
  5. Borrower group’s financial strength | We consider the borrower group’s net-asset position and capacity to fund the project. We also seek to understand their other financial commitments.

Does Trilogy Funds have relationships with relevant consultants that can assist with my project?

We have long-term relationships with a comprehensive network of property professionals, who specialise in quantity surveying, project management, real estate agency services and more, so the necessary consultants are always on hand to assist where needed.

Once the loan is approved, we have staff who specialise in managing construction progress draws and processing contractor remittances and invoices to ensure payments are processed promptly to help keep projects progressing.

Our target maximum LVR is 65% of the Gross Realisable Value (GRV) (incl. GST), and a maximum of 70% LVR on the “as-is” land value.
