Overcoming Delayed CCC & Expiring Debt

Published: May 26, 2026

Our client’s construction loan was expiring, but only 2 of their 4 new builds had passed CCC, and titles were pending. This caused several lenders to consider the security as “non-standard”.

Loan Summary:

  • Amount: $2,100,000
  • Rate: 7.25% pa
  • LVR: 70%
  • Term: 6 months (fully capitalised interest & fees)
  • Security: 4 newly built residential dwellings

The Challenge:

An expiring construction loan coupled with administrative limbo.

With only half the project compliant and titles delayed, the developer faced intense pressure to find a bridge facility fast.

The Cressida Solution:

  • No Valuation Required: Assessment managed entirely in-house to bypass costs and delays.
  • Commercial Common Sense: We analysed the council hurdles, understood the pathway to compliance, and backed the developer.
  • 100% Capitalised Costs: No monthly servicing required, leaving cash flow free for the finish line.
  • Zero Early Repayment Fees: Client can sell down stock and exit the loan early without financial penalties.

The Result

A $2.1M facility that defused the expiring loan pressure. The developer now has a clear 6-month runway to finalise compliance and titles while actively marketing the properties for sale.
