The short answer

What is land bank finance?

Land bank finance is a loan secured against land that is being held for future development. Quickfundz lends against land on first mortgage, from $200,000 to $5 million, up to 70% of the land's value, for terms of 3 to 24 months.

Land banking means buying or holding a site now for a project later. The land may not produce income in the meantime, which is why many banks are reluctant to lend against it.

A private land bank loan is assessed on the land itself and on your plan to repay, for example by selling the site, refinancing once an approval is in place, or moving into a development loan.

What it is used for

  • Buying a site ahead of a planned project
  • Releasing equity from land you already hold
  • Holding a site while approvals are sought
  • Refinancing a land loan that is coming to an end
