The integration gives brokers access to real-time information including land size, zoning, development applications, permits, hazards, and overlays, with the data flowing directly into the credit paper.
ThinkPrivate, which is used by more than 1,500 brokers, allows users to compare more than 40 private lenders across credit policy, rates and fees, build credit papers, and request terms directly from panel lenders.
The new integration is designed to give lenders a clearer view of the security from the outset while helping brokers identify lenders with genuine appetite for a particular deal more quickly.
Property data built into credit papers
Previously, brokers using the platform had to pull property information from separate sources before putting together a submission.
With the Landchecker integration, that information is now brought into the scenario as the broker builds it, with the relevant property data automatically flowing through to the credit paper.
The information available includes land size, zoning, development applications, permits, hazards, overlays, and other property data points.
ThinkPrivate co-founder Matthew Cottam said the integration was designed to remove some of the administrative work involved in preparing private lending submissions.
“Brokers spend too much time pulling basic property information from different sources before they can even start a submission,” Cottam said.
“Bringing Landchecker into the platform means that data sits inside the scenario from the start. The credit paper is stronger, and the broker can see which lenders are the right fit far sooner.”
The integration is now available to all brokers using the ThinkPrivate platform.
Private credit expands as brokers move into commercial
The integration comes as private credit continues to expand across commercial real estate.
The Australian Investment Council 2026 yearbook found that the private capital industry now had over $160 billion in assets under management, 2.3 times the size of what it was a decade ago.
ThinkPrivate itself handles more than 400 private lending scenarios each month, while brokers submitted more than $1.45 billion in scenarios through the platform last month.
This growth has also coincided with an expanding broker presence in commercial finance.
Last year’s Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) Industry Intelligence Service report found that commercial loans settled by mortgage brokers reached a record $22.68 billion between April and September 2024, up 31.2 per cent year on year.
Commercial mortgages were written by 37 per cent of brokers in the year to April 2025, according to market research firm Agile Market Intelligence, with an additional 28 per cent planning to start offering them over the next 12 months.
