Lending in Mount Waverley
Most Mount Waverley clients already own property. The common questions are how to buy the next home before selling the current one, how much equity can be used, and how to keep repayments manageable on a loan well above $1 million.
That makes loan structure more important than the headline rate. Bridging finance can let you buy first and sell later. Splitting a loan can separate an investment portion from your home loan for clearer tax records. Knock-down rebuilds on older blocks are common here too, and they need construction finance with progress payments rather than a standard loan.
With the median easing 2.3% over the year, buyers have a little more room to negotiate — and sellers upgrading within the area may want finance in place before they list.
Families also use their Mount Waverley equity to help adult children buy, through a family guarantee. We explain the risks to the guarantor as clearly as the benefits.
Our Mount Waverley office is at Unit 5/15 Ricketts Rd. Appointments are in person or online.
