What we see in Chermside
Northside hub centred on Westfield Chermside and the Prince Charles Hospital precinct. Steady first-home buyer and downsizer flow; medium-density apartment growth.
Lender shortlist for Chermside
On our 60+ lender panel, Chermside is a steady northside hub with a strong first-home, hospital-sector and downsizer flow. House files value cleanly across lenders; medium-density apartment stock needs floor-area checks, and hospital-sector buyers benefit from professional LMI waivers. Commentary is indicative and subject to lender policy at the time of submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Chermside borrower profiles.
Hospital-sector professional
A Prince Charles Hospital or allied-health borrower buying near work. Many qualify for an LMI waiver up to 90% LVR through a major bank's professional package, which is often the deciding feature; we line the file against the waiver early so the deposit can stay invested.
First-home buyer in the northside hub
A young couple buying a house or medium-density apartment, often combining the First Home Guarantee with the QLD established-home duty concession. The First Home Guarantee removes LMI where places are available; we check apartment floor area early, since the building decides which majors stay in.
Downsizer trading into a villa
An empty-nester selling a larger northside home and moving into a low-maintenance villa or apartment near Westfield. These files are low-LVR after the prior sale, so the conversation is offset and split; a short bridge keeps the timing clean where the sale settles after the new contract.

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