Common questions, Chatswood

Are some Chatswood apartment buildings hard to finance?

Yes. A few lenders restrict high-density Chatswood postcodes or older 1990s stock to lower LVRs. We know which lenders fund Chatswood apartments confidently at 90% LVR and which won't go above 70%.

Do you help with foreign-income or expat Chatswood buyers?

Yes, Chatswood has a high share of buyers with overseas income or recent migration. We work with lenders that accept foreign-income documentation correctly rather than declining on a technicality.

Is the Chatswood family-home market still moving?

Yes, but tightly. Willoughby-side houses above $3M trade quickly when priced right. We pre-approve to a strong number so you can move at auction speed.
