Private lenders

Private lenders in Hobart and Tasmania

Private lenders Hobart borrowers use provide short-term property-secured loans for purchases, bridging and refinance. Because it is a smaller market, lenders look closely at sales evidence and the exit. Titles are recorded by the Land Titles Office, and duty and land tax are run by the State Revenue Office.

Commercial precincts and what lenders consider

  • Hobart CBD, Sandy Bay and Battery Point: office, tourism and residential property.
  • Glenorchy, Moonah and Cambridge: industrial and bulky goods.
  • Launceston and the Tamar Valley: the north's main commercial centre.
  • Devonport and Burnie on the north-west coast: port, industrial and regional retail.

Local rules that affect a loan in Tasmania

Short-stay and tourism property can be valued differently from long-term rentals, so check how the valuer treats income. The State Revenue Office assesses duty and land tax. See the Tasmania stamp duty page and bridging finance in Tasmania.

Frequently asked questions

Will a lender treat Launceston differently from Hobart?

Possibly. Lenders often set limits by location and sales depth, so regional security may attract a lower loan-to-value ratio.
