Commercial Refinance Sydney

By the Mortgagefy Team · Published 19 Oct 2026 · Last reviewed 19 Oct 2026

Commercial lending repricing has made refinance timing more important than ever. For owners locked into older facilities, moving to a sharper lender can save tens of thousands of dollars a year without changing a single thing operationally.

How it works

Commercial refinance pays out your existing commercial loan with a new one — usually from a different lender. Reasons to refinance: better rate, better structure (interest-only period, longer amortisation), extracting equity, consolidating multiple facilities, or getting out of personal guarantees that no longer suit.

The new lender runs their own valuation and servicing assessment at today's rates. Clean trading over the past two years is the strongest driver of what pricing you access. Change in trading structure or significant debt added since the original loan can complicate the file.

Break costs and discharge fees from the existing lender need factoring in. For fixed-rate commercial loans, early-break costs can be meaningful; variable facilities are usually cheap to exit. Model total refinance cost against the pricing improvement over the next 2-3 years before deciding.

What commercial lenders actually look at

Current trading financials

Two years returns at today's position. Clean trading drives sharpest pricing.

Property valuation

Fresh valuation determines LVR and sometimes LMI-equivalent impact.

Existing structure

Change in borrowing entity, loan structure or personal guarantees may trigger stamp duty review — your lawyer coordinates.

Break costs

Fixed-rate exit costs can be material; variable exits are usually small.

Ways to hold the property

Structure sits between you, your accountant and your lender — tax, asset protection and succession all matter. Four common patterns we see with Western Sydney owner-occupiers:

Personal name

Simplest to arrange. Interest can be deductible against rental income. Little asset protection from a trading-business perspective.

Company

Common for long-term holdings inside a corporate group. Flat company tax rate on rent; no CGT discount at the company level.

Trust (discretionary or unit)

Flexible for distributing rental income and separating property from trading-business risk. Lenders are comfortable with clean trust documentation.

SMSF — leased back at market rent

An SMSF can borrow (via a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement) to buy premises that meet the ATO's "business real property" test and lease them to your business at arm's-length market rent. High-level only — a licensed SMSF specialist and your accountant must confirm your situation.

This is general information only, not financial, tax or legal advice. Confirm your situation with a licensed credit adviser and accountant.
