Who actually borrows here
Typical Biggera-Waters borrower profiles.
First-home buyer apartment
First-home buyer buying a unit or townhouse near Harbour Town, frequently using the First Home Guarantee for a low-deposit, no-LMI purchase. With the income caps abolished from 1 October 2025, more of these files now qualify; a major bank and a second-tier lender are usually the cleanest scheme participants.
Canal-home upgrader priced out of Paradise Point
Family buying a canal home here as a more affordable alternative to the premium northern villages. Bridging through a major bank keeps the timing clean; the file commonly lands at 70-80% LVR once the prior property sells.
Broadwater apartment investor
Investor buying a walk-up or mid-rise unit for the steady rental demand near Harbour Town. A couple of second-tier lenders typically value older unit stock more generously than some majors; indicative structure is 80-88% LVR with LMI capitalised where the deposit is light.

Common questions about developer finance in Biggera-Waters
Do you fund developments in Biggera-Waters?
Yes. We map the Biggera-Waters project size, presales, security, and exit path against lenders that fund comparable projects, then build the funding sequence before terms are requested. Senior debt for residential and small-mixed-use builds, with tranche releases against quantity surveyor reports.
Minimum project size?
Typically $1.5M+ TDC for senior debt; we have private lender relationships for smaller projects.
What pre-sales do we need?
Bank lenders generally require 50–80% pre-sales coverage on residual debt. Private and specialist non-banks are more flexible for the right sponsor.
