Helping St Kilda buyers find the right loan

St Kilda has one of Melbourne's most distinctive characters — beach, tram access to the CBD, Acland Street culture and a buyer market ranging from high-end apartments to period Art Deco blocks. It draws investors, lifestyle buyers and professionals who want to live close to the water without leaving the inner city.

The St Kilda apartment market is active and varied. Art Deco and period buildings attract lifestyle buyers and some investors. Newer developments provide easier lending conditions. We work with buyers who want to own in St Kilda for lifestyle, investors targeting short-term and long-term rental demand, and refinancers with Bay-side properties.

Who we help

Common situations in St Kilda

St Kilda's market spans Art Deco apartments, Victorian terrace houses and modern developments. The bayside position, tram access and lifestyle amenity create structural demand from multiple buyer types. Airbnb operations are more prevalent here than in most Melbourne suburbs, which affects lender assessment for investor purchasers.

Period buildings in St Kilda are popular with owner-occupiers. Lender appetite for older stock varies — we identify which lenders are comfortable with the building age and type.

Investor considering short-term rental
