If you’re looking to make a change to your property, land, or title, you’ll need to submit a variation application.
Your broker can arrange this, or if you are no longer in contact with your broker, you can email us your request and relevant supporting documents to mortgagevariations@macquarie.com. See the relevant section below for the supporting documents you’ll need to provide.
Variation requests generally take 21-28 calendar days to be processed and are subject to a credit assessment
A new loan application is required to add a borrower or guarantor to your loan.
To remove a borrower or guarantor, a full credit assessment on the remaining borrower/s who will be liable for the debt is required.
Documents required
A borrower can’t be added or removed from the existing home loan in the following scenarios (a new home loan application is required):
Removal of borrowers is not permitted on SMSF loans and Reverse Mortgages.
Documents required
A second registered mortgage is where another lender or party is to be noted on the title as second mortgagee behind our registered mortgage. For example, a Family Guarantee scenario where another lender has approved a loan using the parents security registered with Macquarie.

A request from the proposed second mortgagee which must include:
A subdivision is where you wish to subdivide a parcel of land into smaller individual lots, which will result in separate certificates of title.
Documents required
To start the process, we only need scanned copies of the documents mentioned above. All original documents are to be retained by you and can be provided to our solicitors once the request has been approved.
A Plan of Consolidation allows two or more parcels of land to be consolidated into one marketable parcel. For example, when you own two properties adjacent to each other, you can lodge a Plan of Consolidation to have the two parcels of land merged under one Certificate of Title.
Documents required
Valuations will be requested for all lots being retained as security (with the Plan of Consolidation provided by you or your legal representative).
A strata plan is a subdivision of a parcel of land into separate lots, including 'common' property that can be accessed by all owners within the strata complex. An example where this is required may be when you construct a duplex, they may wish to subdivide and register a ’strata’ plan for the properties, rather than the land being divided into separate ‘freehold’ Certificates of Title.
Documents required
This is where the defined boundaries of a property will be changing. For example, a boundary realignment would be required if you are looking to purchase/sell a portion of land from/to your neighbour. Another example would be where the council intends to reclaim land.
Documents required
A valuation may be required.
A covenant is essentially a promise to do or maintain something after a property has been purchased. For example, if you need to maintain a storm water retention tank that was installed by your neighbour to stop your property potentially being flooded in bad weather. The covenant is your neighbour’s 'promise' to maintain that water retention tank.
Documents required
A valuation may be required.
Where you rent your property through a scheme, the governing body of that scheme may require the lease to be registered on the Certificate of Title.

Documents required
A right of way is a type of easement that gives someone the right to travel across property owned by another person.

An easement is a section of land registered on your title, which gives someone the right to use or access the land for a specific purpose even though they are not the landowner. For example, a council may have a sewerage easement listed on your client’s title.
