What is SMSF Property Lending?
Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) lending allows you to use your superannuation to invest in residential or commercial property. Unlike traditional home loans, SMSF loans require specialist lenders who understand the unique compliance requirements and lending structures.
SMSF property loans use a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA), which protects your other super assets if something goes wrong. The property is held in a separate trust until the loan is fully repaid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum LVR for SMSF loans?
Most SMSF lenders offer up to 80% LVR (Loan-to-Value Ratio) for residential properties and 70% for commercial properties. Some lenders may go higher depending on your circumstances and property type.
What are typical SMSF loan interest rates?
SMSF loan rates are typically 0.5% to 1.5% higher than standard home loans due to the specialized nature and compliance requirements. Current rates range from 5.5% to 7.5% depending on the lender, property type, and your circumstances.
Can I use my SMSF to buy a property I'll live in?
No. ATO rules prohibit SMSF members from living in or personally using property owned by their SMSF. The property must be held solely as an investment and rented to third parties at market rates.
What is a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA)?
An LRBA is the legal structure required for SMSF property loans. The property is held in a separate trust until the loan is repaid. If you default, the lender can only claim the property itself, not other assets in your SMSF.
How long does SMSF loan approval take?
We provide pre-approval within 48 hours. Formal approval typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the lender and complexity of your SMSF structure. Settlement usually occurs 6-8 weeks from offer acceptance.
Do I need an SMSF accountant?
Yes. You'll need a qualified SMSF accountant to ensure ongoing compliance with ATO regulations, prepare annual financial statements, and manage tax obligations. We can recommend trusted SMSF specialists if needed.
