How Property Type Affects Lending Risk

Different property types carry different levels of lending risk due to liquidity, demand stability, and resale certainty.

Standard residential housing is generally viewed as lower risk than specialised or limited-market properties.

Risk variation affects:

lender availability
maximum LVR
valuation certainty
