What we finance

Land finance, structured to your strategy.

Named facility types, not a generic panel. Find the structure that fits your site and your exit — then talk to the principal who'll build it.

01 Land bank facilities

Capital to hold development sites while you secure approvals or wait out the cycle.

02 Land acquisition loans

Funding to buy englobo, subdivision or infill sites.

03 Bridging to DA approval

Short-term finance that converts to construction once your DA lands.

04 Servicing the hold

Structures that keep the holding cost serviceable across the term.

Why Black Mountain

Why developers bring land deals to us.

01 We read the structure first

Most lenders see raw land as a risk. We structure the facility around your exit — the DA, the build, the sale — so the hold works on your terms.

02 The senior runs your file

The principal who structures your land facility runs it through to settlement. No junior handoff.

03 We know the ground

ACT and regional NSW lenders, valuers and councils — local relationships a national broker runs remotely.

How it works

From first call to settlement.

01 Initial call

We confirm the site, your strategy and whether the deal fits.

02 Structuring view

A written approach within 24 hours of the call.

03 To market

We take the structured facility to the right lenders, not a panel blast.

04 Settlement

The same senior runs it through to drawdown.

A deal we structured

A regional NSW developer needed to hold an englobo site through a 14-month approval window without breaching serviceability across the existing portfolio. We structured a land-bank facility with capitalised interest and a clean conversion to construction on DA — settled inside the option period.

Frequently asked questions

Do you lend on raw or unzoned land?

We arrange finance on englobo, zoned and approved sites, and selectively on land with a clear development path. The structure depends on your exit — that's the first thing we'll assess on the call.

What deal sizes do you work with?

Our commercial and development work generally starts around $1M. If your deal is smaller, we'll tell you on the first call and point you in the right direction.

Are you a lender or a broker?

Neither in the usual sense. We're a debt advisory practice — mandated as your adviser, structuring the facility and taking it to the lenders best suited to it.

Do you only work in Canberra?

The ACT and regional NSW are our focus — it's where our local lender, valuer and council relationships are strongest. We act on deals across that footprint.
