What we see in Teneriffe
Wool-store conversions and premium townhouses. Investor demand from Sydney for offset-friendly inner-city structures.
Lender shortlist for Teneriffe
On our 60+ lender panel, Teneriffe's heritage wool-store conversions occasionally trip a major bank's tower-exposure limits, so a second-tier lender that values these complexes cleanly is a useful backup. Incomes and equity are high, so most files turn on offset structuring and valuation in the larger buildings rather than approval. Commentary is indicative and subject to lender policy at the time of submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Teneriffe borrower profiles.
Sydney investor buying an offset-friendly conversion
A high-income southern professional acquiring a wool-store apartment or premium townhouse to hold long-term, valuing the offset and dual-loan structuring as much as the asset. We typically write these as investment loans at 70-80% LVR with a clean offset against the owner-occupier security to keep tax lines tidy; a major bank and a second-tier lender treat the rental income most generously in our experience.
Inner-city downsizer
An empty-nester couple releasing equity from a larger New Farm or Ascot home and moving into a low-maintenance river-view conversion. These files are typically 40-55% LVR with cash held in offset; the majors are cleanest where the prior sale settles after the new contract, and a short bridge keeps the timing comfortable.
Professional-couple upgrader
A dual-income household stepping up from a one-bed in the Valley into a two or three-bed wool-store apartment. Serviceability is rarely the issue at these incomes; lender choice turns on building exposure caps in the larger conversions, so we keep a second-tier lender ready where a major has reached its limit in a particular complex. Indicative LVR 65-75% P&I.

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