For borrowers
What are suitable loan purposes?
Suitability is dependent on a broad range of criteria and the purpose of the loan.
Loans are made available to Borrowers who are:

- seeking funding from non-bank lenders secured against real property;
- seeking approval and/or settlement within a tight time frame;
- able to provide real estate security at conservative Loan to Value ratio (LVR);
- finding other non-bank finance is more expensive;

- seeking interest only finance.

How does GPMC assess a loan?
GPMC will assess each loan on its merits before providing credit to a Borrower. This action will involve:
- making enquiries about the Borrowers financial situation, requirements and objectives that are relevant to the credit being applied for by the Borrower;
- taking reasonable steps to verify the financial information; and
- using this information to determine whether credit is unsuitable for the Borrower.
What are the associated fees?
The following fees will normally apply to a loan and will be discussed with prospective Borrowers as part of the assessment of their loan application
Establishment Fee
A fee payable by the Borrower. A higher fee may apply where settlement is required within 10 working days from the date the application is lodged.
Valuation Fee
A valuation fee is payable by the Borrower on the security. The fee will be negotiated with a GPMC approved valuer.
Management Fee
A management fee is payable by the Borrower that is part of the fixed interest rate.
Legal Fees
GPMC legal fees associated with establishing the loan will be payable by the Borrower.
Early Repayment Fee
A early repayment fee is payable by the Borrower. The fee is based on the term of the loan and impact on investors.
