What we see in Broadbeach
More refined sibling to Surfers — strong premium apartment market, increasing owner-occupier interest from Sydney empty-nesters.
Lender shortlist for Broadbeach
Broadbeach sits at the prestige end of the apartment market, and on our panel of 60+ lenders the choice swings on the tower and floor-plate rather than the borrower. Major banks generally value the larger, newer high-floor apartments cleanly but can apply exposure caps on certain off-the-plan buildings, where we move to second-tier lenders. Established and detached stock west of the highway is straightforward. All commentary is indicative and subject to policy at submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Broadbeach borrower profiles.
Interstate empty-nester downsizer
Sydney or Melbourne household releasing equity from a long-held family home and buying a premium two- or three-bed apartment near Pacific Fair. Releasing the prior sale typically lands the new loan at 50-60% LVR, so the conversation is about cash-out timing and offset rather than approval; a major bank is usually cleanest when the southern sale settles after the Queensland contract date.
Premium apartment owner-occupier upgrader
Established Coast couple moving up into a higher-floor unit in one of the newer towers. At 70-80% LVR the file is about valuation strength on prestige apartment stock, where a major bank and a second-tier lender historically value most reliably; offset structure and fixed/variable split are the main planning points.
Yield-focused apartment investor
Investor adding a sub-$900K unit for the strong letting demand around the Convention Centre and casino precinct. A couple of second-tier lenders typically deliver the strongest yield-tested servicing once existing portfolio debt loads in; indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only with rental income from a letting appraisal.

Minimum project size?
Typically $1.5M+ TDC for senior debt; we have private lender relationships for smaller projects.
What pre-sales do we need?
