The Richmond property market

Richmond is one of inner Melbourne's most sought-after suburbs, blending heritage terraces, warehouse conversions and new apartment developments just a few kilometres from the CBD. Its mix of period homes and high-density stock means lender appetite varies — some banks are cautious on small apartments and off-the-plan units. As a local broker, we know which lenders value Richmond property and will lend against it comfortably, whether you're buying a Victorian terrace off Bridge Road or an apartment near Church Street.
