Who we are
Lannock body corporate finance is now available in New Zealand
Most people do not know a body corporate can borrow. It can.
When your building needs major work, there are three ways to pay. One large one-off levy. Accumulating the funds over years of saving while costs climb. Or a body corporate loan.
Lannock pioneered body corporate finance in Australia in 2004 and has led the way ever since. Our loan has been refined across thousands of funded projects in Australia, now available in New Zealand.
Your body corporate draws money (in New Zealand dollars) as the work progresses. You pay interest only on what you have drawn. The rest waits until you need it, at no cost.
We lend to the body corporate, not to individual owners. No personal guarantees. No mortgage over your unit. Repayments run over a term your body corporate agrees, collected through your normal levy cycle.
Your committee deals directly with our expert team. Plain English. Clear answers. No jargon. The same people beside you for the life of the loan.

Why borrow
What body corporate funding lets your building bypass
Bypass lump sum panic and special levy shock
Borrowing enables you to avoid the financial distress caused by large special levies. You can be sure you have the funds to do the work rather than hoping that all owners can pay the special levy on time.
Borrowing gives the freedom to get important capital works done now. You save money compared with sinking funds and special levies. Draw down the funds as you need it, you only pay for what you use when you use it.
Bypass costly project delays and funding deadlocks
Borrowing enables you to get important works done now rather than having to pause and wait as you accumulate the money. Delaying important projects can raise the project cost, put more stress on the building, and often expands the scope of work if damage spreads.
Getting work started means you get the benefits of improved lifestyle and enhanced capital return now rather than having to wait. You can get all the works done in one go, rather than having to manage a staged project.

Frequently asked questions
Questions committees and owners actually ask
Is a body corporate loan my personal debt?
No. The loan belongs to the body corporate as a legal entity. It does not appear on your personal credit file and isn't linked to your mortgage.
Why borrow instead of raising a special levy?
A levy asks every owner to produce their share inside a short window, regardless of their situation. Some can, some cannot. Collecting funds takes time that stalls the project and divides the building. A loan spreads the same cost across manageable and flexible repayments to suit your project's needs.
What happens if I sell my unit?
The loan is to the body corporate, not you as the individual, so if you sell your unit the repayments are taken over by the new owner through the regular levy cycle. The loan stays with the unit.
