What we see in Coolangatta
Twin-town border with Tweed. Strong holiday-let income, mid-rise apartments, and a small but active commercial strip along Griffith Street.
Lender shortlist for Coolangatta
Coolangatta's holiday-let income and border location shape lender selection on our panel of 60+ lenders: short-stay income is shaded differently by each lender, and we always confirm the title sits on the QLD side so the QLD duty schedule applies. Mid-rise apartment stock suits second-tier lenders that value smaller floor-plates well. All commentary is indicative and subject to policy at submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Coolangatta borrower profiles.
Holiday-let apartment buyer
Buyer purchasing a beachfront unit with strong short-stay income, used personally between bookings. We run this as an investment file with short-stay yield shaded under lender policy; a major bank and one second-tier lender treat established short-stay history most generously in our experience. LVRs run 70-80% with an offset.
Cross-border owner-occupier
Household buying on the Queensland side while working or living near the border. Because the postcode straddles two states, we confirm the security sits in QLD so the QLD duty schedule and concessions apply; a major bank and a second-tier lender are the usual owner-occupier shortlist. LVRs run 70-80%.
Mid-rise apartment investor
Investor adding a two-bed unit in one of the mid-rise buildings for the holiday-let rental pool. A couple of second-tier lenders typically value these more generously than some majors; indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only with rental income from a short-stay or long-let appraisal.

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