The Southbank property market

Southbank is a high-rise riverside suburb on the CBD's doorstep, dominated by apartment towers near the arts precinct and Yarra promenade. High-density apartments are exactly where lender policy varies most — many banks limit how much they'll lend on small units or apply postcode restrictions. This is where a broker really earns their keep: we know which lenders are comfortable with Southbank towers and will fund your purchase or refinance.
