FAQ
What Blacktown clients ask us
What does a Blacktown mortgage broker cost?
Nothing for you. We are paid a commission by the lender when your loan settles, as most Australian brokers are, and we disclose it before you go ahead. Comparing lenders, working out your borrowing power and managing the application through to settlement costs you nothing, whether you are buying your first home, refinancing or moving up.
Can I buy my first home in Blacktown with a small deposit?
Often, yes. Under the 5% Deposit Scheme you can buy with a 5% deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance; it has had no income caps since October 2025, though property price caps apply. In NSW, first home buyers pay no transfer duty up to $800,000, with a concession under $1 million. We check which you qualify for and what you can borrow.
Can my parents help me buy in Blacktown?
Yes, with a family guarantee. A parent offers part of the equity in their own home as extra security, which can let you borrow with little or no deposit and avoid lenders mortgage insurance. The guarantee is usually limited and can be released once your loan falls to around 80% of the property's value. Lenders require your parents to get independent legal advice first.
Should Blacktown homeowners refinance?
If you have not reviewed your loan in two years, it is worth checking. Lenders often offer sharper rates to new customers than to existing ones, so a long-held loan can drift above what is available elsewhere. We compare your current loan with more than 50 lenders, including the costs of switching, and tell you plainly whether moving or asking your lender for a better rate makes more sense.
Can I use my Blacktown home to buy an investment property?
Often, yes. Many lenders let you borrow up to 80% of your property's value without lenders mortgage insurance, so the gap between that figure and your current loan is usable equity for an investment deposit. The new loan still has to suit your income and expenses, and investor loans are assessed differently, so we model the numbers across lenders before you commit to anything.
Do you help with house-and-land in the new north-west suburbs?
Yes. Many Blacktown families move up into the newer estates to the north-west, which often means a land contract and a separate build contract. That usually needs a construction loan, where the lender pays the builder in stages and you pay interest only on what has been drawn. We line up the loan before you sign either contract.
Do I need to come to your office?
No. Our office is in Norwest, in the Hills next door to Blacktown, and you are welcome to meet us there. Most of our clients work with us by phone and video, with documents signed electronically, so being in Blacktown makes no difference to how we handle your loan. You deal with the same broker from the first call to settlement.
How do I get started?
Book a free discovery call or send us your details. Half an hour is usually enough to estimate your borrowing power, check your deposit against the schemes you may qualify for, and see whether buying, refinancing or using your equity makes sense. From there we handle the application, valuation and settlement with you.
