    We have finally been granted a planning permit to build 2 townhouses in the Sth East suburbs of melbourne. Spent 350K on property 2yrs ago (now worth 420K) no fiance required. It cost 20k for plans + consultants, a local realestate agent valued the completed units at $650k each and have had the building work estimated at 250k each, my question is is the properties title enough security to finance the project?

    Very tenatively, because there is limited information I would suggest that the answer is maybe.

    Depends on lots of factors and you should discuss your needs with an expert.

    As a guide, you could borrow up to 80% of completion value. 80% of $650,000 = $520,000. You must still show serviceability to borrow the money at this LVR. Going on some no doc type loans, you could get about 66.6% = $432,900.

    Hi LJCooker,
    Based on the info you have supplied, and assuming you can service the loan, you should be able to borrow 100% with a major lender, I will need more information to help further,

    So end value is 2 * $650k = $1.30 million

    And you need to borrow $20k + 2 * $250k = $520k. Is that correct. (I assume you have no exist loans against this property as you said “no finance required”)

    Serviceability may be an issue.

    I think its a pretty strong deal and you should have not problems so yes the properties title should be sufficient.

    Cheers
