South Yarra is a high-density postcode, and several lenders apply a lower maximum LVR or a minimum apartment size there — worth checking before you make an offer. For the Home Guarantee Scheme, South Yarra sits in the capital city and major regional centre band, which carries the higher property price cap. Duty and grants are set by Victoria, not by the lender.

FAQ

Mortgage broker in South Yarra — your questions

Will lenders restrict my borrowing on an South Yarra apartment?
Some will. A number of lenders treat high-density postcodes differently — a lower maximum LVR, a bigger deposit, or a minimum internal size before they will lend at all. It varies by lender and it changes. We check the policy for the actual building in South Yarra before you make an offer, not after.
How much deposit do I need for an South Yarra apartment?
Often more than for a house, and that is a lender policy question rather than a market one. Where a standard purchase might work at a 10% deposit, an South Yarra apartment in a large complex can need 20% with certain lenders and be fine at 10% with others. Which is exactly the sort of thing a broker is for.
What does a mortgage broker in South Yarra cost?
For most home loans, nothing — the lender pays us a commission and we disclose it to you in writing. Our advice on your South Yarra purchase costs you the same either way, which is why we can compare the panel rather than sell one product.
Can it all be done online from South Yarra?
Yes. You share your documents securely and we meet by video, so there is no branch visit and no taking a day off work — we settle loans for South Yarra clients who we have never met in person.
Do you do refinancing and investment loans in South Yarra?
Yes — refinances, investment loans and next-home purchases in South Yarra as well as first homes. A refinance is worth running the numbers on whenever your fixed rate is ending or your equity has moved.
