Rated 5 from 44 Reviews
Premier Path Finance is a trusted Finance & Mortgage Broker serving clients in Melbourne, Victoria, and across Australia. We specialise in SMSF Loans, helping clients unlock the potential of their Self-Managed Super Fund to invest in property. Whether you are looking to purchase your first investment property or expand an existing portfolio, our team provides access to SMSF Loan options from a wide panel of banks and lenders nationwide.
SMSF Loans are a specialised financial product that allows eligible funds to purchase both residential and non-specialised commercial properties. The application process involves specific documentation requirements, including a certified copy of the SMSF Trust Deed and the Custodian Trust Deed, financial statements, SMSF bank statements, and a copy of the contract of sale. Our brokers manage these requirements with care, keeping the process clear and well-organised from start to finish.
Understanding each client's financial position is central to determining borrowing capacity and structuring an appropriate loan. The loan-to-value ratio (LVR) plays a significant role in shaping both the loan amount and interest rate available to you. We provide guidance on variable and fixed interest rate options, helping you choose a structure that aligns with your investment objectives. Our team reviews all relevant financial documents to present a thorough and well-prepared application to lenders.
Investing in property through an SMSF can offer meaningful advantages, including potential capital growth and rental income contributing to your fund. It is equally important to consider factors such as stamp duty and the broader impact on your investment strategy. Our brokers provide informed, practical insights into the property market, ensuring you make considered decisions when using superannuation to acquire an investment property. We also ensure full compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.
For those exploring SMSF Loans for commercial property, understanding the nuances of this market is essential. Non-specialised commercial properties can deliver attractive returns, but they also carry distinct considerations. Our brokers are well-versed in these complexities and provide tailored advice to help you maximise your investment potential. By carefully evaluating your financial position and borrowing capacity, we identify the most suitable loan structures available to you.
The SMSF Loan application process can feel involved, but with Premier Path Finance alongside you, each step is clearly explained and professionally managed. From gathering documentation such as financial statements and bank statements through to lodging a well-prepared application, our focus is on presenting your case in the strongest possible light to lenders across Australia.
SMSF Loans offer a powerful mechanism for those seeking to leverage their superannuation for property investment. At Premier Path Finance, we provide expert guidance and hands-on support throughout the entire loan journey. Whether you are purchasing a residential property or building out your investment portfolio, our team is ready to assist. Contact us today to explore the SMSF Loan options that suit your circumstances.
"Every client's journey is unique - whether you're purchasing an investment property through your super fund, structuring a new SMSF Loan, or exploring commercial property options. Our process is transparent, thorough, and shaped around your goals."
We begin with a genuine conversation about what you want to achieve with your SMSF Loans. Whether you are looking to purchase a residential investment property or a non-specialised commercial property, we take the time to understand your fund's position, your investment objectives, and any constraints that may apply.
We review your SMSF's income, contributions, existing assets, and liabilities to determine your borrowing capacity. This assessment shapes the loan structure we recommend and identifies any lender-specific eligibility criteria relevant to SMSF Loans.
Not all lenders offer SMSF Loans, and those that do have varying criteria, rates, and features. We draw on our panel of banks and specialist lenders to identify options that suit your fund's profile, presenting a clear comparison so you can make a confident, informed decision.
SMSF Loan applications require specific documentation, including your SMSF Trust Deed, Custodian Trust Deed, financial statements, bank statements, and the contract of sale. We manage the preparation and coordination of these documents, ensuring your application is thorough and well-presented.
Once your loan is approved, we walk you through the terms, liaise with solicitors and lenders as needed, and coordinate a smooth settlement. We keep you informed at every stage so there are no surprises.
Our relationship continues well beyond settlement. We monitor your loan, flag opportunities to refinance or restructure, and remain available as your circumstances and investment strategy evolve. We are committed to ensuring your SMSF Loans continue to serve your long-term financial goals.
At Premier Path Finance, we guide each client along a transparent, confident path to home ownership and lasting financial wellbeing. Drawing on more than 25 years of combined banking and finance experience, our award-winning team delivers mortgage strategies that are both sophisticated and straightforward.

Luke was amazing helping me buy my first property, from our initial chat and chatting about my circumstances and next steps right through to settlement! Luke was always happy to answer my questions, talk through the process and give me all the options, and made a process I had no idea about as seamless as possible. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

We have dealt with Luke from Premier Path Finance on numerous occasions for purchase of properties and refinances. Luke is very responsive and nothing is too much trouble. He has his clients’ best interest at heart! Every dealing has been a smooth and stress free transaction and we would not even consider engaging anyone else in the future. Highly recommend!

Luke Owen has been my go-to lending guy for many years. Previously he was with CBA Private Banking. A+ and VIP service. He joined Premier Path in recent years which has been a game changer. It's opened up lots of new possibilities for lending, residential, commercial and SMSF. I've introduced several heavy hitter former C-level employees to Luke and they've always been impressed! The service is even better now that he's not hamstrung by CBAs sometimes onerous rules!
Banks can only offer their own products. At Premier Path Finance, we compare a wide range of lenders to help you find a loan that suits your goals and circumstances.
We do the research, paperwork and negotiations on your behalf, making the process simple, stress-free and easy to understand.
Currently over 80% of loans in Australia are provided through a broker instead of directly at the bank, due to the options a broker can provide.
There is no cost to you for using a broker.
We are paid by the lender once your loan settles, which means you won't pay any additional fees and there is no impact on your interest rate or loan terms. Our service is designed to make the process easier by doing the research, comparing lenders and managing the paperwork on your behalf.
With Premier Path Finance, you receive expert advice and support at no extra cost, while we do the hard work for you.
Your borrowing capacity depends on factors including:
• Your income
• Existing debts and expenses
• Deposit amount
• Employment type
• Credit history
We'll assess your situation and help you understand your borrowing power before you start looking for a property.
Many lenders allow eligible borrowers to purchase with as little as a 5% deposit. A larger deposit may provide more lender options and help reduce costs such as Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
We'll guide you through your options and explain exactly what you'll need.
Pre-approval is an indication from a lender of how much you may be able to borrow before you purchase a property.
Pre-approval can help you shop with confidence and understand your budget. We'll manage the entire process and liaise with the lender on your behalf.
Timeframes vary depending on the lender and your circumstances. Many approvals are completed within a few days to several weeks.
Our team keeps the process moving and handles the communication with lenders, making everything easier for you.
Absolutely.
Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, but we'll guide you through every step. We'll explain the process in plain English, help you understand your borrowing capacity and determine whether you're eligible for grants and concessions.
Depending on your circumstances and location, you may be eligible for:
• First Home Owner Grants
• Stamp duty concessions
• Home Guarantee Scheme initiatives
We'll help you understand what support may be available and whether you qualify.
Yes.
A guarantor loan may allow eligible borrowers to purchase with little or no deposit while avoiding LMI.
Using a family guarantee in some cases can cover the full purchase cost of a property, inclusive of stamp duty (105% lend), with identical loan terms to a standard loan.
We'll explain how guarantor loans work and whether they're suitable for your circumstances.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance is generally required when you borrow more than 80% of the property's value.
LMI protects the lender, not the borrower. The cost varies depending on the size of your loan and deposit. We can help you understand whether it applies and explore options to minimise or avoid it.
Refinancing may help you:
• Lower your interest rate
• Reduce repayments
• Consolidate debts
• Access equity
• Improve loan features
We'll compare lenders and manage the refinancing process from start to finish.
Yes.
If your property's value has increased or you've paid down your loan, you may be able to access equity for:
• Renovations
• Investment properties
• Debt consolidation
• Personal expenses
We'll help you understand how much equity may be available and which options suit your goals.
Yes.
We assist investors with:
• Investment property loans
• Equity release
• Portfolio growth
• Interest-only lending
• Refinancing existing loans
Whether you're buying your first investment property or expanding your portfolio, we'll help create a strategy that aligns with your goals.
Yes.
Depending on your circumstances, some lenders offer low-deposit home loans and government schemes may also help eligible buyers enter the market sooner.
We'll explain your options and help you find a pathway into home ownership.
A fixed rate provides certainty by locking in your interest rate for a set period.
A variable rate can change over time and often offers greater flexibility, including offset accounts and extra repayments.
We'll explain the pros and cons and help you choose the right loan structure.
An offset account is a transaction account linked to your home loan.
The balance in the account reduces the amount of interest charged on your loan, potentially helping you save thousands over the life of your mortgage.
A construction loan is designed for people building a new home.
Funds are generally released in stages throughout the building process rather than in one lump sum.
We'll guide you through the process and coordinate with the lender and builder to help everything run smoothly.
Settlement is when ownership of the property is officially transferred and the loan funds are released.
We work closely with your lender, solicitor and conveyancer to ensure everything runs smoothly and keep you informed every step of the way.
We recommend reviewing your home loan every 12 to 24 months or whenever your circumstances change.
Regular reviews can help ensure you're still getting a competitive rate and the right loan features.
Multiple loan applications can impact your credit file.
That's why we carefully assess your situation first and recommend suitable lenders before submitting an application, helping you avoid unnecessary enquiries.
