Lender shortlist for Mount Gravatt
On our 60+ lender panel, Mount Gravatt is a middle-ring family upgrader market anchored by Garden City and Griffith University. House files value cleanly and lean on the majors for bridging; investor files benefit from Queensland-based and second-tier yield-tested servicing, and self-employed buyers are common. Commentary is indicative and subject to lender policy at the time of submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Mount Gravatt borrower profiles.
Family upgrader in the busway catchment
A dual-income family buying a post-war home on a good block within reach of Garden City and the busway. Serviceability is generally comfortable; the work is timing the prior sale, so a major bank bridging facility avoids a sale-subject contract and we settle to a 70-80% LVR split.
Griffith-precinct investor
An investor buying a house or townhouse for the Griffith University tenant demand. A Queensland-based bank and a couple of second-tier lenders produce the best yield-tested servicing once portfolio debt is loaded; indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only with a rental letter.
Self-employed family buyer
A small-business operator buying a family home, leaning on add-backs and one or two-year financials. A major bank takes an accountant declaration on a clean trading history; a specialist non-bank sits behind for files with short trading history or ATO timing.

Lender shortlist: Best of panel: a major bank plus a second-tier lender on package price
At 80% LVR no LMI applies and a busway-catchment upgrader services comfortably, so the file is about avoiding a sale-subject contract on the prior home while the family secures the post-war block near Garden City. Indicative repayment of about $6,787 per month assumes a 6.1% variable P&I rate over 30 years. A major bank with bridging usually leads here; where one buyer is self-employed we line up a second-tier lender or specialist non-bank that reads add-backs cleanly as the backup. Solid middle-ring houses value reliably, so the work is income presentation and settlement sequencing rather than the security. Stamp duty is shown at the QLD owner-occupier rate; LMI is nil at this LVR.
