Commercial property loans across Marsden Park
Helping business owners buy their Marsden Park commercial property
Buying commercial property in Marsden Park?
We fund the whole range of Marsden Park commercial property: childcare and early learning centres, medical centres, large-format retail and service commercial, and completed stock on a long lease. Purchases run between $2 million and $15 million. A number of these are built rather than bought, and construction funding draws on a different lender list again.
We can help you:
- Buy the premises your business operates from
- Borrow up to 80% of the property value on standard commercial security. Up to 100% of the purchase price is achievable where you add equity from a property you already own.
- Acquire a Marsden Park commercial property as an investment
- Refinance or release equity from a property you already own
- Buy or develop a childcare centre or medical centre
- Arrange finance for an SMSF commercial purchase
- Fund a large-format retail or service commercial build
- Free up your working capital
- Arrange finance through a trust or company structure
Who we help:
- Established business owners who require finance between $50K to $30M

Commercial property loans in Marsden Park
From childcare centres to large-format retail, we get you funded
We work with the operators and developers building and buying in Marsden Park: childcare and early learning operators, medical centre owners, large-format retail and service commercial businesses, and investors taking completed stock on long leases. New precincts need a different kind of file, because the evidence a lender usually leans on does not exist yet, and we build the submission accordingly.

What we finance in Marsden Park
A precinct with almost no sales history is assessed differently to an established one. The Marsden Park property we can finance includes:
- Owner-occupier commercial property purchase
- Investment commercial property and landlord finance
- SMSF commercial property under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement
- Commercial construction and development finance
- Commercial property refinance and equity release
There is very little settled sales evidence in Marsden Park yet, so a valuer leans more heavily on cost, feasibility and the lease in front of them than on comparables. That is not a problem, it just means the file has to carry evidence an established precinct would not need to supply.

Property types
Buying and building in Marsden Park
Building it, buying it completed and buying the land are three different pieces of finance, and in a new precinct the differences are sharper than usual. Below is how each Marsden Park purchase actually reads to a lender, and the suburbs we cover around it.
Childcare and early learning centres
A residential release filling with young families is exactly the catchment childcare operators look for, and Marsden Park has attracted a run of new centres. Childcare is a specialised asset and it does not gear like an office or a shopfront.
Lenders fund childcare to a lower band, and the assessment leans on the licence, the approved number of places, occupancy and the strength of the operator rather than on the building. In a new precinct, where occupancy has no history yet, a long lease to an established operator does most of the work.
- Childcare is a specialised asset and gears below standard commercial security
- The licence, the approved number of places and the catchment all feed the assessment
- In a new precinct a long lease to an established operator matters more than usual, because occupancy history does not exist yet
- Purpose-built centres are harder to re-purpose, which is what the lower band reflects
- Provide the licence, the lease, catchment analysis and the operator's financials
- Where you are the operator as well as the owner, both sets of numbers are assessed
Medical centres and health premises
New residential catchments need GPs, dentists, pharmacy and allied health, and medical centres here are built to serve a population that is still arriving. Healthcare income is read as resilient, and medical, dental and veterinary borrowers reach up to 80% on standard commercial security.
Where a practice is establishing rather than relocating, the assessment shifts. There is no patient base yet, so the file leans on the principals' history elsewhere, the catchment, and an interest-only period while the practice builds. That is a normal structure and we set it up deliberately rather than discovering the need late.
- Up to 100% of the purchase price is achievable where an existing residential property is offered as additional security
- An interest-only period while a new practice builds patient numbers is standard and worth arranging up front
- Where the practice is new to the area, the principals' history elsewhere is what a lender assesses
- Fit-out, medical equipment and practice goodwill can often be funded alongside the property
- Parking and accessible access carry real weight in a drive-to catchment
- Documents to prepare: practice financials, an accountant's letter and the catchment analysis
Large-format retail and service commercial
The Richmond Road frontage carries the large-format retail and service commercial that a growth corridor generates: bulky goods, trade suppliers, automotive services and drive-to convenience. These are assessed on the lease and the covenant more than on the building.
Exposure and access do the pricing on the property side. Frontage to a main road, the turning arrangement and customer parking decide who could occupy the site next, and that is what underpins the re-letting assumption a credit team is testing.
- Standard commercial security reaches up to 80% of value with full financials
- Main-road frontage, access arrangements and customer parking are the real value drivers
- A national or established operator on a long lease is a materially stronger covenant
- Signage rights and consent conditions attach to the site rather than the occupier
- Provide the lease, the rent schedule, outgoings and the tenant's standing where available
- Terms run 15 to 25 years, with an interest-only option over the first few years
Building rather than buying
A lot of what happens here is construction rather than purchase, because the completed stock does not exist yet. Construction lending is drawn in stages against certified works, sits interest-only through the build and converts to a term loan on completion, and it is sized against the end value rather than the land.
A lender looks for two things. A fixed-price contract with a licensed builder of appropriate capacity, and a pre-commitment from an incoming tenant. In a precinct with thin comparable evidence, a signed lease is worth more to the assessment than any market argument.
- Construction funding is drawn progressively against certified works and priced off the end value
- A fixed-price contract with a builder of appropriate capacity materially strengthens the file
- A signed pre-commitment from an incoming tenant transforms the assessment in a new precinct
- Vacant land bought on its own gears to around 65% until a building carries it
- Confirm which instrument governs the parcel before lodging, because two apply in this suburb
- Provide the survey, plans and specifications, the building contract and the builder's details
Completed stock on a long lease
Buying a finished building with a tenant already in it is the most straightforward Marsden Park purchase, and it is what most investors here are doing. The loan is priced off the lease: net passing rent, the covenant and the weighted average lease expiry.
Thin sales evidence still shapes the valuation. With few completed comparable settlements nearby, a valuer leans harder on the income and on cost than on local sales, so a strong covenant with real term remaining does more work here than it would in an established precinct.
- Priced on net passing rent, the tenant covenant and the weighted average lease expiry
- Thin local sales evidence means income and cost carry more of the valuation than comparables
- Lease doc lending runs 65% to 75% and steps down as the loan size rises
- Full doc lending against the same security reaches up to 80%
- A tenant with significant fit-out sunk into the building is a stronger covenant than the lease alone suggests
- Provide the lease, the rent schedule, outgoings and any incentive still running
SMSF commercial property in Marsden Park
Yes, a fund can buy Marsden Park commercial property, and we arrange these. It is also one of the more intricate purchases in commercial finance, and the detail is what decides whether it works. The fund borrows under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement, the property sits in a separate holding trust, and the lender can only come after that one property.
We know this sounds complicated, and we can assist to make things clearer. We structure the finance, tell you which lenders will take a Marsden Park commercial property as SMSF security and on what terms, and bring in the SMSF specialists and licensed advisers who set the fund side up. You will not be working it out on your own.
- From 10 August 2026 a new arrangement can only be used for business real property: a property used wholly in a business generally qualifies, a property with a residence attached generally does not
- Your operating company leases the property back from the fund, in writing, at market rent supported by an independent appraisal, and the rent has to actually be paid
- Cross-collateralisation is not available inside super, so the fund needs its own deposit and the 100% LVR structures described elsewhere on this page do not work here
- Standard commercial security inside a fund is generally available to 65% to 80% of the lender's valuation, with cash left in the fund after settlement
- The arrangement funds a single asset, so fit-out, plant and goodwill are financed separately outside the fund
- The bare trust has to exist before contracts are signed, and in NSW the deed is executed after the contract, by the bare trust trustee rather than the fund trustee

Frequently asked questions
Does it help to work with a broker who knows Marsden Park well?
It helps to work with a broker who knows the area well. Two planning instruments apply within this one suburb, the zone codes are the older ones, and there is very little settled sales evidence for a valuer to work from. Ardent Capital Group is based in the Sydney CBD on Clarence Street, arranges commercial property loans in Sydney, and works in Marsden Park and across Australia.
Can the whole thing be arranged without us coming to you?
Yes. We work across the north west growth corridor, including Schofields, Riverstone, Box Hill, Rouse Hill and Quakers Hill. Most of the process runs by phone, email and video, and we come to site when it helps.
How much finance can you help me access?
Between $50K and $30M. Large-format service commercial in a new precinct tends toward the upper half, while smaller tenancies and suites are financed at the other end.
What kinds of property do you actually lend against here?
We fund the full range here: childcare and early learning centres, medical centres and health premises, large-format retail and service commercial, completed investment stock on long leases, and construction of all of the above. Lender appetite differs sharply across those, which is why we match the property to the lenders that write it.
What makes Ardent Capital Group different here?
Ardent Capital Group brings the same method to every client: execution and strategy, clear advice for smart lending, and long-term growth. That means the right lender, structure and timing, straight advice so you borrow with confidence, and today's deal built toward where you want to be tomorrow. We are specialists in helping business owners secure finance to purchase their own property, and we understand the complex structures that often sit around it, including multiple trusts, holding companies and self-managed super funds. In Marsden Park that method earns its keep on evidence. A new precinct cannot rely on comparable sales, so we build the file around the contract, the lease and the feasibility, and confirm which planning instrument governs the parcel before anything is lodged. We have facilitated more than 1,000 commercial and residential mortgages and funded over $2B. Every figure is subject to serviceability, lender appetite and approval.
What is on the document checklist?
A typical application needs identification, the contract or property details, recent business and personal financials, tax returns, bank statements, and details of your entity or trust structure. Construction adds plans, specifications and the building contract. Childcare adds the licence and catchment analysis. Every parcel needs its planning certificate.
How far will a lender go on a building like this?
Standard commercial security reaches up to 80% of value, and medical, dental and veterinary borrowers reach the same on their own premises. Childcare is specialised and gears below that. Vacant land gears to around 65% until a building carries it. Send us the details and we will give you a real figure.
Why does my title say B7 when nearby properties say E2 or E3?
Because the business land here sits under a State precinct plan rather than the council LEP, and the precinct plan kept the older zone codes instead of transitioning to the employment zones. Much of the rest of the suburb is still RU4 rural under the Blacktown LEP, pending release. Two instruments apply in one suburb, so confirm it parcel by parcel rather than assume, and we check it before lodging.
What decides the rate on a deal like ours?
A commercial rate is set per file rather than off a shelf price. It moves with the asset and whether you are building or buying, the LVR, the loan size, the entity you borrow through, and whether the lender is verifying your full financials or just the lease. We will tell you the range your deal genuinely sits in before you spend anything, and where the levers are.
What is the stamp duty on commercial property in NSW?
Transfer duty is charged on the dutiable value of the property on the general NSW scale, and there is no owner-occupier or first-buyer concession the way there is on a home. Surcharge purchaser duty applies to residential-related property, so a purely commercial purchase is generally outside it. Duty and GST are funds you bring to settlement rather than part of the loan, so we set your funds-to-complete figure with you before you exchange. Revenue NSW publishes the current scale.
I am building rather than buying. How does that work?
As construction lending. The facility is drawn in stages against certified works, sits interest-only through the build and converts to a term loan on completion, sized against the end value rather than the land. A fixed-price contract with a licensed builder is the document a lender starts from, and a signed pre-commitment from an incoming tenant transforms it, particularly here where comparable evidence is thin.
Can an SMSF borrow to buy commercial property?
Yes, it is possible, and we arrange these. It is also one of the more intricate purchases in commercial finance, and the detail is what decides whether it works. The fund borrows under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement, so the property sits in a separate holding trust and the lender can only come after that one property. From 10 August 2026 a new arrangement can only be used for business real property: a property used wholly in a business generally qualifies, a property with a residence attached generally does not. Your operating company leases the property back from the fund, in writing, at market rent supported by an independent appraisal, and the rent has to actually be paid. Cross-collateralisation is not available inside super, so the fund needs its own deposit and the 100% LVR structures described elsewhere on this page do not work here. Standard commercial security inside a fund is generally available to 65% to 80% of the lender's valuation, with cash left in the fund after settlement. We know this sounds complicated, and we can assist to make things clearer. Reach out to our team and we will guide you through the entire process. We structure the finance, tell you which lenders will take a Marsden Park commercial property as SMSF security and on what terms, and bring in the SMSF specialists and licensed advisers who set the fund side up. You will not be working it out on your own. Get that right and it is a solid, compliant structure. Our business real property page sets out what that test requires and the situations that decide it.
We exchange in six weeks. Is that enough time?
A straightforward purchase of completed stock with clean financials usually settles in four to six weeks, and can be as quick as two weeks where the documentation is ready at the start. Construction, childcare and SMSF deals take longer, and construction runs to the build program rather than to a settlement date. We give you a realistic timeline before you commit.
Our bank said no. Is that the end of it?
Often not. A decline from one lender does not mean the deal is not fundable, and in a new precinct it frequently means the valuation could not find comparables, or the lender had no appetite for construction or for a specialised asset. Non-bank and specialist commercial lenders take a different view. We will give you a straight assessment before proceeding.
Do you charge fees for commercial mortgage broking?
Most of the time, no. Where a deal needs significant preparation or is unusually complex, a small mandate fee may apply, and we will always tell you plainly before any work begins.
What areas do you service?
Although we are based in Sydney, we service clients across all major Australian cities, including Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart, along with their surrounding regional areas. Wherever your commercial property is located, we can arrange your finance.
What other finance can you assist with?
Although our main speciality is property loans for business owners, we also assist with asset finance and working capital for Marsden Park businesses. On asset finance, that covers medical and dental equipment, childcare fit-out, retail fit-out and commercial vehicles. On working capital, we arrange business overdrafts, lines of credit and cash-flow funding to cover stock, supplier payments and cash-flow gaps. We also arrange home loans, planned alongside your commercial borrowing: cross collateralisation, guarantees, shortfalls and trust income included. See home loans for business owners.
I have been a business owner for a few years, but this will be my first commercial loan. Are you beginner friendly?
Yes. That is our core ethos, helping you understand the right strategy, structure and clear advice from the very first conversation. Our main borrower profiles are established business owners and commercial property investors seeking finance from $50,000 upwards for their company, so a first commercial loan is well within our wheelhouse. Smaller sole-trader and consumer-style ABN lending sits outside our field.
Can you give financial advice?
No. Arranging finance and advising on financial products are two different disciplines, and we do the first. What we bring is the credit analysis lenders require, the structuring of the facility, and the strategy for putting your application in front of lenders whose appetite matches it.
Because we act as a credit representative under an Australian Credit Licence, we do not give financial product, superannuation, taxation or legal advice, and nothing we provide should be taken as such. Where your circumstances need that input, we are happy to work with your accountant, financial adviser and solicitor to understand the full picture before anything is submitted.
