The structure decision you only get to make once cheaply

Personal name, trust, company, look-through company or a combination — the entity your property sits in affects your tax rate, your losses, your asset protection and what happens when you sell.

We compare the realistic options against your actual portfolio, your lending and your plans, and we tell you which one fits and what it will cost to get there.

Most portfolios grow into the wrong structure by accident

The first property goes in a personal name because it was simple. The second follows because changing seemed like a hassle. By the fifth, the structure is costing money every year and unwinding it triggers tax.

  • Income taxed at a higher personal rate than it needs to be
  • Losses stranded in an entity that can't use them
  • Personal assets exposed to business or portfolio risk
  • Bright-line dates reset by a restructure done at the wrong time
  • Succession and family arrangements far harder than they should be

What structuring advice covers

Entity comparison

Trust, company, LTC, partnership or personal — modelled side by side on your numbers.

Tax outcome

Effective tax rate now and on eventual sale, under each option.

Asset protection

Separating personal assets from portfolio and business risk.

Lending impact

How each structure affects serviceability and what banks will lend against it.

Restructure cost

What moving would trigger, including bright-line and GST consequences.

Succession

How the structure handles family, partners and eventually passing it on.

Why choose Finex for property investment structuring?

Property specialists

Property is not a sideline for us. Bright-line, interest deductibility, GST on developments and trading stock are everyday territory, not something we look up when it comes up.

Fixed fees, agreed up front

You know what you're paying before we start. No surprise invoices and no meter running when you pick up the phone with a question.

Contact through the year

We keep in touch rather than appearing once a year at filing time, so decisions get made with advice attached instead of afterwards.

Chartered Certified

Finex is an ACCA practice. The work is reviewed, the standards are enforced and your filings are done properly the first time.

The same team every year

You deal with people who already know your structure and your history, not whoever happens to pick up the file this season.
