A mortgage fund pools money from investors and lends it to borrowers who are looking for loans secured against property. The loans secured by mortgages – just like those offered by trading banks. Norfolk Mortgage Trust is a mortgage fund run by the manager, Norfolk Mortgage Management Limited (NMML), a licensed fund manager under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. 

The amount you can borrow depends on a range of factors, including the value and location of the security property, your ability to service the loan, and loan structure. 

Your interest rate will depend on a range of factors including the value and location of the security property, your ability to service the loan, and the loan structure. 

The costs and fees depend on the complexity of your loan and the number of parties involved. The fees vary – we will discuss these when we make you an offer. When your loan is approved and you accept our offer, we’ll get a quote for legal costs.

A registered mortgage over a property you or your guarantor own will be the security for your loan.

A PIE is a managed fund that puts investors’ contributions into different types of investments. The PIE pays tax on investment income based on the prescribed investor rate (PIR) of investors, rather than at the entity’s tax rate. This means that Norfolk pays the tax on your interest distribution directly to the IRD, so you don’t need to include it in your tax return. 

A PIR is the rate used to calculate tax on taxable income for your investment. The rules for this rate are different from rules for other income tax rates, with the top PIR being 28%. Use our guide to calculate you PIR here.

Norfolk Mortgage Management Limited is supervised by Covenant Trustee Services Ltd, which has strict statutory and professional roles and responsibilities. It holds the Trust’s assets on behalf of all the investors, monitors the management company regularly, and can suspend the manager if any of the Trust rules and covenants are breached.
