Flood history and insurance

Parts of Corinda sit near Oxley Creek and are mapped in flood overlay areas. Lenders generally need the home insured before settlement, and flood risk can affect the cost and availability of cover. Some lenders also look more closely at a property’s flood history. Check council flood mapping and get an insurance quote early, before you commit to a contract.

Older and character homes

Corinda has a good number of older homes, many of them timber. A building and pest inspection helps you understand repair costs, and significant defects noted by the lender’s valuer can affect the valuation. If you’re planning to raise, restump or extend, the size of the job decides whether a split, a later top-up or a construction loan suits.

Close to the station

Corinda has a station on the Ipswich line, which matters to commuters. If you’re weighing up an investment, the investment property calculator estimates yield and cash flow. Whether a property suits you as an investment is your call with your adviser; we look after the loan.

Refinancing an established loan

Owners who’ve held for years may have built equity and drifted onto an older rate. A loan review compares your loan with options from across our panel, weighing any saving against the cost of switching.
