Commercial property we fund across Taren Point
When stock rarely comes up, getting the finance sorted before you bid is the difference between competing and watching. The Taren Point 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
Very little sells in Taren Point in any given year. That scarcity holds values up, and it also means a valuer has fewer recent sales to reason from, so the comparables chosen carry unusual weight. Getting the right evidence in front of the valuer is worth real money here.

Property types
The deals we see in Taren Point
A working warehouse, a showroom on the main road and a waterfront-adjacent site are priced on different things. Below is how each Taren Point purchase actually reads to a lender, and the suburbs we cover around it.
Warehouses and workshops
The core of the precinct is straightforward working stock: warehouses, workshops and distribution premises occupied by the businesses that own them. The loan is serviced by trading cash flow, so a lender reads your accounts as closely as the building.
Because so little sells, the valuation leans harder on the few recent settlements than it would in a busy estate. We put the relevant sales in front of the valuer with the instruction rather than hoping the right ones are picked, which on a thinly traded precinct is a material difference.
- Standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value with full financials
- Clearance height, hardstand, power supply and truck access all feed the valuation
- Thin recent sales evidence makes the comparables chosen unusually influential
- Alt-doc is available on BAS and an accountant's declaration where recent accounts are not ready
- 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
Showroom and bulky goods premises
Taren Point Road and the main frontages carry a genuine showroom strip: building supplies, furniture, marine and boating, and trade counters serving the whole Shire. Exposure has commercial value and it changes the valuation basis.
A building weighted towards customer-facing floor area is valued closer to commercial retail, one weighted towards warehouse closer to industrial, and the two do not gear identically. Give us a floor plan with the areas marked and we will tell you which side of that line you are on before anything is lodged.
- The ratio of showroom to warehouse floor area shifts both the valuation basis and the LVR
- Main-road exposure supports a stronger rent per square metre than a back-street position
- Customer parking and access carry real weight on a bulky goods asset
- Fit-out for the showroom or counter can often be funded alongside the property
- Signage rights and consent conditions attach to the site rather than the occupier
- Provide the floor plan with areas marked, plus two years of trading figures
Waterfront and marine-adjacent sites
The suburb sits on Botany Bay and the Georges River, and W1 Natural Waterways covers the water itself. Sites backing onto it carry marine businesses, boat storage and servicing, and premises whose value is partly about the frontage.
Waterfront adjacency brings its own checks: foreshore controls, any licence or lease over the water, flood and tidal considerations and how they read on a valuation. None of these stops a purchase. They do decide which lenders will engage, so establish it before you exchange.
- Foreshore controls and any waterway licence sit alongside the title and are worth confirming early
- Flood affectation feeds the valuation and narrows the lender list rather than closing it
- Marine servicing uses can carry an environmental history worth checking before exchange
- A Preliminary Site Investigation may be required, and we tell you who will still proceed with one on file
- Provide the survey plan, any licence documents and details of current use
- Where a site is genuinely unsuitable as security we will tell you plainly and early
Tenanted Shire stock
Where the property is tenanted, the tenant's obligation is the security the loan really rests on, priced on the rent, the covenant and the term remaining. Tenants here tend to be established Shire businesses that stay put, which supports the re-letting assumption behind the loan.
The same scarcity that keeps values firm also keeps yields tight. What matters to the credit assessment is whether the rent covers the interest with room to spare, and a sharp yield makes that test harder rather than easier, so model it before you commit.
- Priced on net passing rent, the tenant covenant and the weighted average lease expiry
- Interest cover, not just the rent, is what the credit team actually tests, and a tight yield makes it the binding constraint
- 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 vacant property is assessed on vacant possession, which narrows the lender list rather than closing it
- Provide the lease, the rent schedule, outgoings and any incentive still running
Holding, refinancing and succession
A lot of Taren Point property has been in the same hands, and often the same family, for a very long time. That means substantial equity and, frequently, a loan structure set up for a business that has changed considerably since.
A refinance resets the term and releases equity for the next thing, whether that is plant, a second site or buying out a family member as the business passes down. Where ownership is changing hands, the entity structure needs to be settled before the finance is arranged rather than after.
- Release equity to fund plant, a second site or a change in ownership
- Move from a bank term of 10 to 15 years to a non-bank term of 25 to 30 to reset the repayment
- Where ownership is changing, settle the entity structure before the finance is arranged
- 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 Taren Point
Yes, a fund can buy Taren Point 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 Taren Point 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 having a broker who already knows this market?
It helps to work with a broker who knows the area well. The Shire has one industrial precinct and very little of it changes hands, so knowing which recent sales a valuer should be looking at is worth real money here. Ardent Capital Group runs its Sydney commercial property lending from Clarence Street in the CBD, and arranges finance in Taren Point and across Australia.
How does this work if we are not in the same place?
It makes very little difference. We work across the Shire and the St George side of the river, including Caringbah, Miranda, Kirrawee, Sylvania and Sutherland. Most of the process runs by phone, email and video, and we come to site when it helps, so the distance is never the thing that slows a deal down.
How much finance can you help me access?
Between $50K and $30M. Stock in the Shire is tightly held and waterfront parcels carry a premium, which tends to push borrowing above what the building alone suggests.
What can be bought with commercial finance in this market?
We cover the full range: warehouses and workshops, showroom and bulky goods premises, trade counters, marine and boating facilities, waterfront-adjacent sites and tenanted investment stock. Lender appetite differs across all of them, which is why we match the property to the lenders that write it.
What do you do that another broker would not?
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 Taren Point that method earns its keep at the valuation. Stock rarely trades here, so we brief the valuer with the sales that actually support your property rather than waiting to see which ones get used. 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 does a lender want to see?
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. A waterfront-adjacent site adds the survey and any licence documents. Leased property adds the lease and a rent schedule.
What LVR should we be expecting?
Standard industrial security reaches up to 80% of value. Up to 100% of the purchase price is achievable where you add equity from a property you already own. A waterfront-adjacent or flood-affected site can move the number, so send us the address and we will give you a real figure.
Is the advertised rate what we end up paying?
A commercial rate is set per file rather than off a shelf price. It moves with the property and its position, 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 being close to the water affect the loan?
It adds checks rather than obstacles. Foreshore controls, any licence over the waterway, and flood affectation all feed the valuation and decide which lenders will engage. We establish those before an application is lodged so the shortlist is real, and where something genuinely does not work as security we will say so early.
Would our SMSF be able to buy it?
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 Taren Point 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.
How quickly can this settle?
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. SMSF, waterfront and construction deals take longer. We give you a realistic timeline for your specific property before you commit to an exchange date, so the contract and the finance are working to the same calendar.
Is a decline final?
Rarely. A decline from one lender does not mean the deal is not fundable, and in a thinly traded precinct it frequently means the valuation came in on the wrong comparables. Non-bank and specialist commercial lenders take a different view on LVR, income presentation and asset type. We will give you a straight assessment of what is achievable 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 Taren Point businesses. On asset finance, that covers workshop and marine plant, forklifts, commercial vehicles and fit-out. 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.
