SMSF Property Loans — Get the Structure Right Before You Commit
SMSF lending involves strict compliance requirements that vary by lender and property type. Errors in loan structure or trust deed compliance are expensive to unwind. We identify the right lenders, confirm the structure is sound, and work alongside your SMSF accountant or adviser before you sign anything.
Why Borrowers Choose The Mortgage Panel
Independent advice, no bank bias, and a legal obligation to act in your interest.
Best Interest Duty — legally binding
As an MFAA member and AFCA-registered brokerage, The Mortgage Panel is legally required to recommend what's right for you — not what pays the highest commission.
40+ lenders on the panel
Major banks, regional banks, credit unions, and specialist non-bank lenders. We search across the full panel and show you options worth considering — not just the ones that are easy to sell.
Free service — no upfront fees
Our service costs you nothing to use. We're paid a commission by the lender when your loan settles. If we don't find you a better loan, we'll tell you that too.
Conditional approval in 24–48 hours
On clean applications, we can have conditional approval within a business day or two. We know which lenders are moving quickly right now — and which ones will slow your settlement down.
We handle the entire process
From initial assessment to settlement — paperwork, lender follow-ups, valuations, and communication. Most clients spend less than two hours on the process from start to settlement.
Personal loan lending
Beyond home loans — we also help with personal loans for cars, debt consolidation, renovations, and life's larger expenses. Same independent approach, same panel-wide comparison.

What Our Clients Say
“Lloyd took the time to understand our situation properly before making any recommendations. He was thorough throughout and never made us feel rushed. Found us a loan we were genuinely happy with.”
Brad Miller
Brisbane, QLD · Home Loans
“Buying my first home meant I had a lot of questions — some probably basic. Lloyd answered every single one without making me feel like I was wasting his time. The whole process was less stressful than I expected.”
Eun Sang Kang
Brisbane, QLD · First Home Buyers
“I had no idea we could get the rate Lloyd found us. He came back with something well below what I thought was possible and the saving has been significant. Wish we'd used a broker sooner.”

SMSF Loans Questions Answered
How does a mortgage broker get paid?
Mortgage brokers are paid an upfront commission and a trail commission by the lender when your loan settles. You pay nothing directly — there are no upfront fees for our service.
How many lenders do you compare?
We have access to 40+ lenders including the major banks, regional banks, credit unions, and non-bank lenders. This gives us the breadth to find competitive rates across a wide range of borrower situations — including self-employed applicants, low-deposit buyers, and investors.
How long does home loan approval take?
Conditional approval can often be issued within 24–48 hours on straightforward applications. Formal approval typically takes 3–7 business days depending on the lender and how quickly supporting documents are provided. We tell you upfront which lenders are moving quickly.
What documents do I need to apply?
You'll typically need recent payslips (last 2), tax returns (last 2 years if self-employed), bank statements (last 3 months), photo ID, and details of any existing debts or assets. We'll give you a precise checklist once we understand your situation — most clients have everything ready within a day.
Can I refinance if I have little equity?
It depends on your lender's requirements and your loan-to-value ratio (LVR). Some lenders will refinance at up to 90% LVR, though you may need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). We assess your equity position honestly and tell you whether switching makes financial sense before you commit.
What is the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) in Queensland?
In Queensland, eligible first home buyers may receive a $30,000 grant for new homes valued under $750,000. Stamp duty concessions are also available for first home buyers. Eligibility rules apply — we confirm exactly what you qualify for during your consultation so there are no surprises.
What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?
LMI is a one-off insurance premium charged when you borrow more than 80% of a property's value. It protects the lender — not you. The cost varies but can run into thousands of dollars. Some lenders and government schemes allow you to avoid or reduce LMI — ask us whether your situation qualifies.
