Best Commercial Property Acquisition Finance Broker in Australia — 2026 Guide
The best acquisition finance broker is engaged before you sign, not two weeks from settlement. Purchasing a commercial, industrial, retail or mixed-use asset in Australia is won or lost on structure: the deposit, the settlement date, the conditions precedent and the lender's conditional approval all need to line up before the contract goes unconditional. Evcorp Commercial arranges acquisition finance across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide for single assets and portfolios, owner-occupier and investment-grade, trade sales and off-market.
What Separates the Best Acquisition Finance Brokers
Acquisition finance is a different discipline from development lending. The asset already exists — the questions are tenant covenant, WALE, valuation support, and whether the lender will commit inside the contract's timetable. Four criteria separate a specialist acquisition broker from a generalist:
- Engagement at offer stage. A specialist shapes the deposit, settlement period and conditions to suit the optimal funding structure — rather than retro-fitting funding to a hard contract.
- Conditional approval before unconditional. On tight contracts (auction settles, short due diligence) the broker secures conditional credit approval so you sign with certainty, not optimism.
- Whole-of-market for difficult assets. Tier-1 banks decline older industrial, regional, mixed-tenancy and vacant-possession assets that are perfectly bankable with non-bank or private credit lenders. The best broker knows which lender writes what.
- Settlement-day project management. Lender, valuer, lawyer and accountant co-ordinated through the final fortnight so settlement does not slip.
Acquisition Finance Terms in Australia (2026)
Investment-grade assets with quality tenants and long WALE attract tier-1 bank pricing at 65–70% LVR. Value-add, vacant-possession, regional or specialised assets typically sit at 60% LVR with a non-bank or private credit partner. Evcorp models the funding cases at offer stage so your bid is informed by what you can actually borrow.
Asset classes financed: commercial office, industrial and logistics, large-format retail, mixed-use, healthcare and specialised. Single assets and portfolios across every Australian capital.
Acquisition Finance by City
Sydney — the deepest lender pool in the country for investment-grade office and industrial; strongest competition on well-leased assets. Melbourne — Australia's most active industrial and logistics acquisition market. Brisbane and South East Queensland — infrastructure-led demand across industrial, retail and mixed-use. Perth — fewer east-coast lenders on the ground, which makes whole-of-market access decisive. Adelaide — a smaller lender bench where a broker's relationships widen the field. Evcorp runs the same competitive process in every market.Why Evcorp Commercial
