Moorebank commercial property loans
Helping business owners finance their Moorebank commercial property
Buying commercial property in Moorebank?
We arrange finance for every kind of Moorebank commercial property: rail-served and road-based distribution facilities, land and yard for expansion, and institutional-grade stock held as an investment. Purchases here run between $3 million and $20 million. At that size the lender list narrows, and the structure behind the purchase does more work than the rate.
We can help you:
- Buy the distribution facility your business operates from
- Borrow up to 80% of the property value on standard industrial security. Up to 100% of the purchase price is achievable where you add equity from a property you already own.
- Acquire a Moorebank logistics property as an investment
- Refinance or release equity from a property you already own
- Fund additional land, hardstand or a yard alongside the building
- Arrange finance for an SMSF commercial purchase
- Fund an extension, new build or racking installation
- 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
- First-time borrowers who need a beginner-friendly strategy
- Sophisticated borrowers and investors who need a unique strategy and deal structure
- Urgent, time-sensitive deals that need to move quickly

Commercial property loans in Moorebank
From rail-served depots to childcare centres, we get you funded
We work with the distribution and logistics operators around Moorebank: importers and wholesalers, third-party logistics providers, transport businesses and the investors who own the facilities they occupy. We structure the application around the size of the deal as much as the asset, because a $15 million facility and a $2 million unit belong with different lenders, and manage it through to settlement.

Commercial property finance specialists in Moorebank
Deal size does as much work as the building at this end of the market. The Moorebank purchases we can finance include:
- 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
Rail access is why a Moorebank facility prices above an equivalent warehouse twenty minutes away. It narrows the pool of buildings that can do the job and widens the pool of occupiers who need one, and that combination is what a lender is really assessing when it weighs the re-letting risk.

Property types
Moorebank commercial property scenarios we finance
A rail-served facility, a road-based distribution building and a yard are assessed on different things, and at these loan sizes the lender tier changes too. Below is how each Moorebank purchase actually reads, and the suburbs we cover around it.
Rail-served distribution facilities
A facility with genuine rail access is a different asset to a warehouse that happens to be nearby. The occupier pool is narrower and more committed, because a business that has built its supply chain around rail cannot easily move to a site without it.
That works in the file's favour. A credit team assessing what happens if the current occupier leaves is looking at a scarce building type with a specific demand base behind it, and that supports the re-letting assumption more readily than a generic box would.
- Standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value with full financials
- Rail siding access, container handling area and hardstand load rating all feed the valuation
- A narrower but more committed occupier pool supports the re-letting assumption
- Interest cover, not just the rent, is what the credit team actually tests on an investment purchase
- Prepare two years of financials, tax returns, ATO portals and your entity or trust deed
- GST usually applies unless the sale qualifies as a going concern with tenants in place
Road-based distribution buildings
The larger share of the precinct is straightforward road distribution serving the M5 and the south-west. These are assessed as space: floor area, clearance, dock configuration, awning cover and how easily a B-double gets in and turns.
At this end of the market loan size moves the product. Lease doc bands step down as the loan grows, the major banks want a fuller credit submission above a few million, and the non-bank lenders comfortable at $15 million are a different group again.
- Assessed on floor area, clearance height, dock configuration and heavy vehicle access
- Full doc lending against standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value
- Lease doc lending runs 65% to 75% and steps down as the loan size rises
- Terms run 25 to 30 years with non-bank lenders, against the 10 to 15 the major banks commonly publish
- Awning cover and dock levellers are practical value drivers on a distribution building
- Provide the floor plan, the survey and details of the loading arrangement
Land, yard and expansion
South-west land at around $1,155 per square metre for smaller lots keeps expansion realistic here. Additional land alongside a building is assessed as one asset and keeps the standard gearing.
Bought on its own, vacant industrial land is a different lend and gears to around 65%, because there is no building to value. Building on it is construction lending: drawn in stages against certified works, interest-only through the build, and sized against the end value.
- Vacant industrial land and hardstand gear to around 65%, against up to 80% where a building carries the site
- Construction funding is drawn progressively against certified works and priced off the end value
- A fixed-price building contract with a licensed builder materially strengthens the file
- Servicing through the build is assessed on the business, not on a tenant that does not exist yet
- Flood affectation near the Georges River feeds the valuation and is worth confirming early
- Provide the survey plan, plans and specifications, and the building contract
Institutional-grade investment stock
A leased facility is sized against rental income rather than trading accounts: what is paid, by whom, and for how long. At $10 million and above the buyer profile shifts towards private syndicates and family offices, and so does the lender list.
With South West vacancy at 3.9%, the softest of the four Sydney precincts, the remaining lease term and the incentive given carry real weight. A long lease to a national logistics operator and a short one to a local distributor are very different files.
- Priced on net passing rent, the tenant covenant and the weighted average lease expiry
- A national operator on a long lease is a materially stronger covenant than a short local one
- 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 rent-free period or fit-out contribution still running is read into the net figure
- Provide the lease, the rent schedule, outgoings and the tenant's trading history where you have it
Refinance and equipment
Distribution businesses carry substantial capital outside the building: racking, materials handling, prime movers and trailers. Keeping that on its own equipment facility rather than inside the property loan matches each repayment to the life of the asset.
Where the equity has built up in the property, a refinance releases it for that equipment, a second site or working capital, and resets a term that may have been set when the operation was much smaller.
- Racking, materials handling and fleet are best funded on their own facilities
- Release equity to fund equipment, a second site or working capital
- Move from a bank term of 10 to 15 years to a non-bank term of 25 to 30 to reset the repayment
- Consolidate a commercial loan and a business facility into one structure with one review date
- Prepare recent financials, current loan statements, the lease and a rates notice
- Break costs on a fixed facility are worth checking before anything is lodged
SMSF commercial property in Moorebank
Yes, a fund can buy Moorebank logistics 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 Moorebank logistics 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 facility used wholly in a business generally qualifies, a facility 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
Why go to a specialist rather than straight to our own bank?
It helps to work with a broker who knows the area well. Deals here run larger than a typical suburban purchase, and the lender who is right at $2 million is often not the one to approach at $15 million. Ardent Capital Group arranges commercial property finance across Sydney from its Clarence Street office, and works in Moorebank and the rest of Australia.
Does working with a Sydney broker slow anything down?
No, and it works better than people expect. We work across the south-west logistics corridor, including Liverpool, Prestons, Chipping Norton, Milperra and Casula. 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?
From $50K up to $30M. Rail-served intermodal stock lifts deal sizes, and buyers of smaller units in the surrounding estates work within the same band.
Is our type of premises something you finance?
We fund all of these: rail-served and road-based distribution facilities, warehouses, transport yards and hardstand, vacant industrial land, and tenanted investment stock. Lender appetite differs across all of them, and at these sizes it differs by loan amount as well.
What will you need from us?
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. Leased property adds the lease and a rent schedule. Land near the river adds any flood information. Construction adds plans and a building contract.
We have equity in another property. Does that change what we can borrow?
Standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value. Vacant land and hardstand gear to around 65%. Up to 100% of the purchase price is achievable where you add equity from a property you already own. Send us the address and the loan amount and we will give you a real figure.
What rate will we actually get?
A commercial rate is set per file rather than off a shelf price. It moves with the facility and the size of the loan, 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.
Does the size of the loan change which lenders will look at it?
Substantially. Lease doc bands step down as the loan grows, the major banks want a fuller credit submission above a few million, and the non-bank lenders comfortable at $15 million are a different group to the ones writing $2 million units. Matching the deal to the right tier is a large part of what we do here.
Could we buy this through our SMSF instead?
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 facility used wholly in a business generally qualifies, a facility 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 Moorebank logistics 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.
What is a realistic timeline?
A straightforward owner-occupier purchase 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. Larger investment facilities, SMSF and construction deals take longer. We give you a realistic timeline for your specific property before you commit to an exchange date.
What happens after a decline?
We find out what actually caused it. A decline from one lender does not mean the deal is not fundable, and at these loan sizes it frequently means the file went to a lender who does not write that number. Non-bank and specialist commercial lenders take a different view on LVR, income presentation and asset type. We will give you a straight assessment before proceeding.
Why Ardent Capital Group?
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 Moorebank that method earns its keep on matching the deal to its tier. Loan size moves the lender list as much as the building does, and we sort that out before an application is lodged rather than after a decline. 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.
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 Moorebank businesses. On asset finance, that covers racking and materials handling, forklifts, prime movers, skels and trailers. 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.
