Nestwell SMSF: buy property through your SMSF

Yes, your super can help you buy real estate.


Many people think SMSF property is too complex. Bare trust? Compliance? Structure? It sounds like a headache. But with the right help, it’s actually quite straightforward.

Here’s the process:


1. Set Up Your SMSF

Once you've decided to set up an SMSF, we will help you register your SMSF and corporate trustee. You’ll also speak with an SMSF mortgage broker early on to understand how much your SMSF can borrow.


2. Order the Bare Trust

If you are borrowing, please submit your bare trust order through our website and make payment directly from your SMSF’s bank account.


3. We Prepare Documents

We’ll then handle the paperwork, including the bare trust deed and setting up your bare trustee company with ASIC.


4. Apply for Finance

Get approval for your SMSF loan. We provide you with certified copies of SMSF and bare trust documents for the lender.


5. Purchase & Settlement

Once your loan is approved, you can proceed to exchange contracts and settle the purchase.


You’re not alone. We’ve helped plenty of Australians who thought this was “too hard”, until they had someone to explain the process in simple terms for them.
