Lending in Kirribilli: what to know

Small apartments.

Some studios here fall below lenders' minimum size rules, which limits lender choice.

Serviced and short-stay units.

Apartments in buildings run as serviced apartments or holiday lets are treated as higher risk, and some lenders won't lend at all.

Check strata records for major works such as concrete cancer, facade repairs or lift replacements.

Downsizer timing.

If you buy before selling, a bridging loan or short-term structure can help.
