Hi. I’ve been working for an organisation as an IT manager for over two years. I earn $92,000 a year and I want to buy a commercial property. I think I’ve got a sufficient amount of genuine savings and so I plan on taking a commercial property loan.
Do banks classify all commercial properties the same? I want to know if banks assess different commercial properties differently.
Do banks assess all commercial properties in the same way?

Standard commercial properties are considered less risky, which is why they may be approved more easily. Some examples of standard commercial properties are:
As specialised commercial properties are more difficult to sell, they pose a higher risk to the lender. Some examples of specialised commercial properties are:

- Child care / preschools.
- Farms / other rural properties.
- Function / reception centres.

Oh, I see. I was thinking of buying either an office or a retail space. Can you tell me how much I may be allowed to borrow?

- 80% of the property value for loans up to $1 million.
- 75% of the property value for loans up to $2 million.
- 70% of the property value for loans up to $5 million.
It should be noted that the type of loan and the nature of your security may have an effect on the amount that you can borrow:
- You may be able to borrow 100% of the property value if a residential property is used as a security.
- You may require a larger deposit for lease doc, low doc and no doc loans.
- A larger deposit may also be required for specialised security properties.
Cheers,
Otto

Hello everyone. I wanted to take out a commercial loan but I realised that I might not have a good credit history. Can I still apply for one despite my credit history? I would also like to know what records count as bad credit and what do not.
