How to use this against your own facilities

  1. Find your cell: asset class, LVR band, current lender tier.
  2. Convert to an all-in drawn margin: margin + line fee + unused fee.
  3. Outside the public band? Ask your bank why, in writing.
  4. Check the clock if you have a hard date.
  5. Test it with a tender, not a conversation.

Covenants this edition

Easing: lower hedging minima, slightly lower ICR floors on prime leased and owner-occupied CRE, more SPV flexibility at non-banks.

Holding or hardening: construction cost and feasibility risk, thin pre-sales, secondary office, leverage combined with a messy group.
