Who actually borrows here
Typical Carindale borrower profiles.
Family upgrader on a large block
A dual-income family buying a four or five-bed home on a big block in the Westfield hinterland, often trading up within the eastern suburbs. Serviceability is generally comfortable; the work is timing the prior sale, so a major bank bridging facility keeps it clean and we settle to a 70-80% LVR split.
Self-employed family buyer
A small-business operator buying a family home, leaning on add-backs and recent financials. A major bank takes an accountant declaration on a clean trading history; a specialist non-bank sits behind for files with short trading history or ATO timing. Trust-structured income is common and shapes lender choice.
Investor in the catchment rental market
An investor buying a house for the family-catchment tenant demand. A Queensland-based bank and a couple of second-tier lenders produce the best yield-tested servicing; indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only with a rental letter and offset against any owner-occupier security.

Common questions about developer finance in Carindale
Do you fund developments in Carindale?
Yes. We map the Carindale 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.
