I financed my 28spm living area + balcony + secured car space studio unit in Parramatta last April year through NAB.
I went with St George first because they were known to be the most flexible at that time, but got rejected given the small size. In the last minute, I went through L J Hooker Finance broker who's helping finances with a lot of studios in that building. He's got good contacts at NAB. Got LVR 95%. I was paying monthly rent of about the same amount so NAB didn't have a problem at that time with my serviceability. They might have changed rules now again. Or it has to do with how much % they're already exposed to in a particular building, etc. PM me if you want that broker guy's details.
Goodluck finding the bank. Keep us posted.
