Lender shortlist for Holland Park
On our 60+ lender panel, Holland Park is a quiet middle-ring house market drawing upgraders priced out of Camp Hill and Coorparoo. Files value cleanly and lean on the majors for bridging and construction; a second-tier lender is a useful backup on heavily-renovated valuations. Commentary is indicative and subject to lender policy at the time of submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Holland Park borrower profiles.
Upgrader priced out of Camp Hill
A dual-income family buying a post-war home on a big block, often after being outbid in Camp Hill or Coorparoo. Serviceability is 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.
Renovator buying a post-war home to extend
A buyer purchasing an original post-war home on a large block with a renovation or knock-down-rebuild in mind. We structure a purchase loan plus a construction or progress-draw facility; a major bank with a clean cost-plus build policy usually leads.
Long-tenure local downsizer
An empty-nester selling the family home and staying local in a smaller home or villa. These files are low-LVR with cash held in offset; the majors are cleanest where the prior sale settles after the new contract, and a short bridge keeps it comfortable.

Lender shortlist: Best of panel: a major bank for bridging or construction plus a second-tier lender
At 80% LVR no LMI applies and servicing is comfortable, so the defining feature of a Holland Park file is what the buyer is actually buying: an original post-war home on a big block, priced below the renovated Camp Hill and Coorparoo stock these upgraders were outbid on. That gap is the strategy — purchase at land-plus-tired-dwelling value, then add value over time via extension or knock-down-rebuild — and it shapes how we set the loan up, leaving headroom for a later construction or progress-draw facility against the lift in the block rather than funding a finished renovation now. Indicative repayment of about $7,757 per month assumes a 6.1% variable P&I rate over 30 years on the $1.28M loan, before any drawn build. Because the value sits in the land, the as-is valuation is rarely the sticking point, so a major bank that prices the loan keenly and holds a clean cost-plus build policy for the future works typically leads; a second-tier lender is the fallback only if a heavily-altered comparable drags the as-is figure. Stamp duty is shown at the QLD owner-occupier rate; LMI is nil at this LVR.
