🔍 What Is LVR?
LVR is the percentage of the property’s value that you’re borrowing.
Formula:
Loan Amount ÷ Property Value × 100
For example, if you’re borrowing $750,000 for a property valued at $1 million, your LVR is 75%.
Why LVR Matters in Commercial Lending
- Lower LVR = Lower Risk
Commercial lenders prefer lower LVRs—typically under 70%—because it shows you have more equity in the deal. - Higher LVR = Tighter Conditions
If your LVR creeps above 75%, expect stricter terms, higher interest rates, or the need for additional security.
