The lender and the principal.
The lender
Aitutaki Capital is the property-secured lending brand of the Aitutaki Whanau Trust, an established New Zealand property investor and a registered non-bank money lender (FSP1006985). We provide short-term mortgage finance for business, investment and property development. We do not provide consumer credit and our loans are not regulated by the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003.
Principal
The principal, David Whitburn
Aitutaki Capital is led by David Whitburn. David is a barrister and solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand. He began his career in tax at Deloitte, then practised as a solicitor at Russell McVeagh, before moving into business and property to help people build wealth.
David is the best-selling author of Invest and Prosper with Property, published by Penguin Random House. He is a Past-President and Life Member of the Auckland Property Investors' Association. Across his career he has completed over 700 dwellings in a range of capacities, including as project manager and as developer.
This combination of legal training, tax background and hands-on development experience means borrowers and their advisers deal with a lender who understands a transaction from every side: the security, the structure, the consenting and construction risk, and the exit.
Our approach
- Disciplined credit, taken on property security we understand.
- Commercial judgement and a direct line to the decision-maker.
- Certainty of settlement, documents honoured.
- Borrowers and brokers treated as long-term relationships.
