What we see in Kirra
Small surf-village pocket between Coolangatta and Bilinga. Beachfront walk-ups and a Coolangatta-overflow owner-occupier market.
Lender shortlist for Kirra
Kirra has no standalone CoreLogic median, so we benchmark to the Coolangatta 4225 market and lean on direct comparable sales for the village. On our panel of 60+ lenders, beachfront walk-up apartments suit second-tier lenders that value smaller floor-plates well, while detached and quality units value cleanly across the majors. All commentary is indicative and subject to policy at submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Kirra borrower profiles.
Surf-village owner-occupier
Owner-occupier buying a beachfront walk-up or small home in the village, often overflow demand from a tightly-held Coolangatta market. A major bank and a second-tier lender are the usual shortlist on quality unit stock; LVRs run 70-80% with offset the planning point.
Beachfront apartment investor
Investor buying a beachfront unit for the strong holiday-let and long-let demand. We run short-stay income shaded under lender policy where it applies; a couple of second-tier lenders value older walk-ups more generously than some majors. Indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only.
Downsizer from a larger Coast home
Local downsizer releasing equity from a bigger home and buying a low-maintenance unit near the beach. The new loan often sits at 50-60% LVR, so the work is settlement timing and offset rather than serviceability.

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