    Hi guys,

    Just wondering how much would a bank lend to someone looking at buying the freehold of a petrol station site for say approx 1.1M?

    Would it usually be about 65% given its specialised nature? My mate is looking at buying and will seek 100% finance knowing he would need to provide a property from his parents worth approx $500K which is unencumbered as extra security to the bank.

    Look forward to your thoughts.

    Cheers

    Generally many lenders are a bit worried about petrol stations as there many be contamination or environmental issues. So probabbly around 65% would be the max loan available. Arab bank is apparently good with petrol stations.

    Hi Chief007,

    While there are a few lenders who don’t like service stations, there are a couple of the larger lenders who will lend against them. You should be able to get 70% LVR and a pretty good rate.

    Regards
    Alistair
