What brokers say

Trusted by Brokers Across Australia

“My recent experience was nothing short of outstanding in every facet of the transaction. Josh made it a breeze to deal with and the follow up with the client post settlement was exceptional. It's refreshing to see that a Private Lender truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond for them.”

Both metro and regional locations are considered.

No. Low-doc and impaired credit scenarios are considered, subject to assessment. We do review credit history, but we look at the overall strength of the application, including the security property, the exit strategy and the borrower's position.

Every loan is secured by a registered first mortgage over Australian real property: residential, commercial, industrial or vacant land. We do not offer second mortgages or caveat loans. Security requirements vary with location and property type.

Speed, flexibility and direct access to decision-makers. Bank approvals typically take weeks. We can approve in as little as 3 hours and settle in as little as 72 hours, subject to assessment. Every application is reviewed by a real decision-maker and structured around your exit strategy.

Business bridging finance is a short-term loan that covers the gap between a business need for funds and a known exit, such as the sale of a property or a refinance to a longer-term lender. Astro's bridging loans are for business purposes only, secured by a registered first mortgage, with terms of 1 to 24 months. Settlement can happen in as little as 72 hours, subject to assessment.

Yes. Urgent business and commercial property settlements are a core part of what we do, and we can settle in as little as 72 hours, subject to assessment. Common scenarios include bank finance falling through before settlement, a notice to complete, a short settlement window after an auction, and commercial acquisitions with tight deadlines. Contact us to discuss your timeline.

Pricing depends on the loan-to-value ratio (LVR), the property type and location (metro or regional), the loan term and the overall scenario. Private lending generally costs more than a bank loan, in exchange for speed and flexibility. Every fee is set out on the term sheet.
