We prepare lender-ready financials, including payslips, tax returns, BAS, and bank statements, to prevent income being discounted.
We use lender-specific servicing tools rather than generic calculators, often revealing higher usable borrowing capacity.
Different lenders treat New Farm properties very differently. We match you with lenders whose policies align with your property and income profile.
Where required, we outline steps to improve your position before applying such as timing income, adjusting liabilities, or restructuring existing loans.

Why New Farm Homeowners Choose Write Finance
New Farm borrowers face very different lending conditions compared to outer-Brisbane suburbs. From tightly held character homes and renovated Queenslanders to high-value apartments along the river, lender appetite varies significantly by property type and building profile.
Write Finance is trusted by New Farm buyers, investors, and business owners who want lending advice that reflects how banks actually assess inner-city Brisbane property.
We help New Farm clients navigate:
- Apartment lending restrictions in high-density buildings
- Heritage-listed and character homes with renovation overlays
- Valuation sensitivity in premium riverfront and lifestyle locations
- Self-employed and professional income structures common in the area
Every recommendation is grounded in strategy, not sales. You’ll deal directly with senior mortgage broker Mark Tran, who understands Brisbane inner-city lending policy and how to position applications for stronger outcomes.
A dedicated team of financial experts at your service.

Frequently Asked Questions
New Farm properties are assessed differently by lenders due to property type concentration and postcode risk limits.
Key factors lenders look at include:
- Apartment size (many lenders restrict units under 50m²)
- Building density and owner-occupier ratios
- Heritage overlays on Queenslanders
- Comparable sales within tightly held pockets
- Exposure limits for inner-city postcodes
Some major banks reduce borrowing capacity or increase scrutiny in inner-Brisbane suburbs, even when income and deposit are strong. A broker who understands which lenders are active in New Farm can materially improve approval outcomes.
Yes — but lender selection is critical.
Common apartment-related restrictions include:
Minimum internal size requirements (often 50–55m²)
Maximum percentage of investor-owned units in a building
Restrictions on high-density developments
Valuation sensitivity in riverfront and premium buildings
We regularly place New Farm apartment buyers with lenders that:
- Accept smaller or boutique apartment blocks
- Have flexible inner-city postcode policies
- Use more favourable valuation methodologies
This avoids unnecessary declines or reduced loan offers.
Absolutely — but self-employed borrowers are often under-assessed without proper structuring.
According to industry data, self-employed applicants can see borrowing capacity reduced by 20–30% if income isn’t presented correctly.
We help by:
- Normalising business income and addbacks
- Structuring company, trust, or partnership earnings
- Matching you with lenders who specialise in complex income
- Avoiding lenders that default to PAYG-style assessments
This is particularly important in New Farm, where purchase prices are higher and margins matter.
Yes. Character and heritage-style homes introduce additional assessment layers.
Lenders may review:
- Heritage listings or character overlays
- Renovation approvals and certificates
- Zoning restrictions
- Insurance and rebuild valuations
Some lenders avoid these properties entirely, while others actively lend when documentation is prepared correctly. We ensure the right lender is selected before you sign a contract, not after.
Deposit requirements vary based on property type and borrower profile.
As a guide:
- Apartments: typically 10–20%
- Character homes: often 10–15%
- Self-employed buyers: may require higher buffers depending on lender
We also assess: - LMI vs non-LMI strategies
- Guarantor options (where appropriate)
- Equity release from existing Brisbane property
There’s rarely a one-size-fits-all answer — strategy matters.
In many cases, yes — especially if your loan hasn’t been reviewed in the last 12–18 months.
Refinancing benefits may include:
- Lower interest rates
- Improved loan features (offsets, interest-only options)
- Better alignment with current property value
- Increased borrowing capacity for future plans
Inner-city Brisbane properties often experience valuation movement differently to outer suburbs, which can unlock opportunities when reviewed properly.
