When working with LM, you are dealing with real property people experienced in development management, quantity surveying, financial analysis, town planning, project management, cost planning, building and legal issues.

Professional and responsible lending

LM is established as a highly regarded lender within Australia 's non-bank lending sector, one of the largest growth sectors within the Australian financial services industry. Over the past eleven years, LM has lent approximately AUD$4.5 billion within the commercial, industrial, retail, residential, aged care and construction sectors of Australia's property markets.

LM effectively competes with banks and other prominent financial institutions to seek quality assets for its income funds.

Keeping our finger on the pulse

We pride ourselves on our proactive approach to lending. It is important that we meet with our borrowers and their consultant team, and regularly visit property securities to ensure our continued due diligence maintenance process.

We listen to the industry – to financiers and developers – to monitor trends, anticipate movements and identify 'quality rather than quantity’ investment opportunities.

How it works

  • Upon receiving your initial phone enquiry, one of our lending specialists will advise if a lending proposal aligns with our lending criteria.
  • If the initial enquiry is accepted, we then require detailed proposal information.
  • Generally, proposals are reviewed by our credit committee within seven days, dependent on receipt of requested information.
  • Approval from the credit committee will result in a letter of offer sent to you the following day.
  • On acceptance of the letter of offer being sent to you, our due diligence process will commence.
  • The average time from acceptance to settlement is three to five weeks.
