Once approved, tenants pay an annual fee for a Lease Bond to be issued. For bonds below $200k in security value, the annual fee is 5.5% p.a (so for a $200,000 bond, the fee is $11,000 per annum). Above $200k, the rate drops, and is determined at the financial assessment.
A once off establishment fee of also applies and, in some cases, legal fees may be incurred, depending on the organisational structure and requirements.
You will receive the full payment schedule ahead of issuance, before you decide to commit. There is no cost to apply.
