Frequently asked questions

Commercial Lease Doc Loans FAQs.

What is a commercial lease-doc loan?

It is a lender category where verified commercial lease income can carry more weight in assessment. It is not finance without identity, property, lease, credit or legal checks.

Does a long lease guarantee approval?

No. Tenant quality, rent sustainability, incentives, arrears, property marketability, accepted value, borrower position and loan structure all matter.

What is WALE?

Weighted average lease expiry is one way of summarising remaining lease duration across tenants. Lenders may also examine each lease, break, option and concentration risk.

Can vacant property qualify?

Lease-doc assessment generally relies on verified income. Vacant or partly vacant property may require a different product, lower leverage, stronger serviceability or leasing evidence.

Can lease-doc loans reach 80% LVR?

Selected qualifying first-mortgage scenarios may be considered up to 80% LVR, but property type, tenant, lease term, location, vacancy and borrower risk can require lower leverage.

What income figure is used?

Lenders may adjust rent for outgoings, incentives, vacancies, related-party arrangements, short lease terms or market evidence. The accepted figure is lender-specific.
