What we see in Robina
Master-planned suburb with town-centre retail, schools, hospital. Family upgraders and first-home buyers.
Lender shortlist for Robina
Robina is among the most straightforward family postcodes on our panel of 60+ lenders. Detached and townhouse stock values cleanly across the majors, which compete hard on upgrader files; second-tier lenders are strong on near-new townhouse investment. The deep first-home-buyer flow means we run a high share of First Home Guarantee files here, where scheme panel placement matters more than headline rate. All commentary is indicative and subject to policy at submission.
Who actually borrows here
Typical Robina borrower profiles.
Family upgrader within the Coast
Dual-income PAYG family moving up into a four-bed near the Robina school catchments. We typically structure a bridging facility through a major bank to release the existing home without a sale-subject contract, then settle into a 70-75% LVR P&I split once the prior sale lands. Serviceability rarely binds; the conversation is offset structure and fixed/variable split.
First-home buyer near the town centre
First-home buyer couple buying a townhouse or smaller home close to Robina station and the mall, often using the First Home Guarantee to buy with a smaller deposit and no LMI. With no income caps on the guarantee since 1 October 2025, we now place far more of these files; a major bank and a second-tier lender are usually the cleanest scheme participants. The QLD First Home Owner Grant of $30,000 can also apply where the purchase is a qualifying new home under $750,000.
Lake-precinct investor
Investor buying a near-new townhouse for the steady family-rental demand around the lakes. A couple of second-tier lenders typically deliver the strongest yield-tested servicing; indicative structure is 80% LVR interest-only with rental income from a letting appraisal.

Lender shortlist: Best of panel: a major bank for bridging plus two second-tier lenders
At 80% LVR no LMI applies and serviceability for a dual-PAYG household is rarely the constraint, so the file is about bridging mechanics if the prior home is still settling. An indicative repayment of about $6,860 a month assumes a 6.2% variable P&I rate over 30 years. A major bank typically leads on the offset-and-bridge structure; a second-tier lender is competitive on package pricing once the prior sale lands. Stamp duty is shown at the QLD general transfer rate; LMI is nil at this LVR.

Final pricing, lender appetite and serviceability are confirmed in writing on the file.
