Scenario

Andrew Bisset has been a real estate agent for over 20 years and jointly with his wife Jane own 6 shops at 55 Park Road, Belmont. Mr and Mrs Bisset own the shopping centre under the Bisset Family Trust. The property was valued 2 years ago at $1,450,000 and has a current ABZ Bank Mortgage of $625,000.

Five of the shops are rented out for $96,000. The sixth shop is occupied by Mr Bisset's real estate business, Bisset's Real Estate Pty Ltd, which pays annual rental of $42,000 to the family trust. For tax purposes Bisset's Real Estate pays rent which is $20,000 in excess of the fair market rental value of the shop it occupies.

Bisset's Real Estate Pty Ltd was formed at the beginning of the last financial year to take over the real estate agency business, which was previously conducted by a partnership between Mr Bisset and Joseph Hooper. Bisset's Real Estate Pty Ltd took over the business when Mr Hooper retired.

Mr and Mrs Bisset now wish to acquire 3,000m2 of land near their existing shopping centre and hold it for 1 - 2 years pending rezoning.. The purchase price is $600,000. The land was previously used as a State Government Health and Dental Centre, but the building was demolished when it became obsolete. The land is currently zoned ‘Special Purpose', but the local council earmarked the land for future ‘Commercial' use in it recently released Town Planning Scheme. The land is located at 423 Belmont Road, Belmont and has a two street frontage with considerable passing traffic.

The Bissets have contracted to purchase the property in their capacity as trustees of their family trust and settlement is due with 60 days. They wish to raise 100% of the purchase price plus $25,000 for stamp duty, financing and conveyancing costs. They are willing to offer both the land and their existing shopping centre as security for the proposed loan. They will contribute a further $20,000 over the next 1-2 years to cover the costs associated with re-zoning of the property and obtaining approval to develop another shopping centre.

Unfortunately, ABZ Bank policy does not allow them to lend against land zoned ‘Special Purpose' and cannot assist with the purchase. The Bissets have appointed you to approach an alternative lender to refinance their ABZ Bank Loan and obtain the additional funds required.Assume an interest rate of 7% for a commercial loan, 9% for an overdraft.
