Whether you’re buying your first home, investing in property or refinancing an existing loan, Nice Loans helps Sydney borrowers find the right finance without obligation and zero broker fees.
Buying property in Sydney is not like buying anywhere else in Australia. High property prices, competitive auctions, lender postcode restrictions, and constantly changing government incentives mean choosing the right loan can make a significant difference to both your borrowing power and long-term position.
At Nice Loans, we help Sydney buyers compare home loans from more than 40 banks and lenders to find a solution that suits their goals, not just the loan that pays the highest commission.
Whether you’re purchasing your first home, refinancing an existing mortgage or expanding your investment portfolio, we provide clear, independent advice from application through to settlement.

NSW has its own rules for stamp duty and first-home buyer assistance. Getting this wrong can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Here’s what applies right now.
Eligible first home buyers may receive a full transfer duty exemption on properties valued up to $800,000, with concessional rates available for purchases between $800,000 and $1 million. This applies to both new and existing homes.
Eligible buyers purchasing or building a brand-new home may also qualify for the NSW First Home Owner Grant. Unlike the stamp duty exemption, this incentive only applies to new homes.
Eligible buyers may purchase with as little as a 5% deposit through the Federal Government’s First Home Guarantee, allowing many buyers to avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
Many lenders apply stricter criteria to apartments in high-density postcodes like Zetland, Mascot, and parts of Parramatta, and offer lower LVRs or minimum floor size rules.
Whatever stage you’re at, we’ll help you choose a loan structure that supports your plans.
Buying your first home, upgrading or purchasing your forever home? We’ll compare suitable lenders, explain your options clearly and manage the entire application process from pre-approval through to settlement.
Property investing is about more than securing a competitive interest rate. We help investors structure lending to maximise borrowing capacity, improve cash flow and support future purchases as their portfolio grows.
If your current mortgage no longer suits your needs, refinancing could reduce your repayments, secure a lower interest rate, release equity or consolidate existing debts. We’ll compare options across our lender panel and manage the switch from start to finish.
A guarantor loan allows eligible family members to use part of the equity in their home to support your purchase. This may reduce the deposit required, improve borrowing capacity and help avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
Purchasing investment property through a Self-Managed Super Fund requires specialist lending knowledge. We work alongside your accountant and financial adviser to help secure suitable finance while ensuring lender requirements are met.
Whether you’re building a new home or undertaking a knockdown rebuild, we’ll help structure your construction loan, manage progress payments and guide you through each stage of the build.
Buying in Sydney before your current home sells? A bridging loan may provide the flexibility to purchase first and sell later, reducing pressure and giving you more control over your move.

The amount of stamp duty or transfer duty you pay depends on the property’s purchase price and whether you’re eligible for NSW first home buyer concessions. Eligible first home buyers may pay no stamp duty on homes valued up to $800,000, with concessional rates available for properties valued between $800,000 and $1 million under the First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme.
Your borrowing capacity is determined by several factors, including your income, living expenses, existing debts, credit history, employment, and the size of your deposit. While Sydney property prices are generally higher than those in many other Australian cities, lenders assess affordability using the same lending criteria and serviceability requirements.
Check your borrowing capacity with our borrowing power calculator to help understand your budget before you begin your property search.
The NSW First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) offers eligible buyers a one-off $10,000 payment when purchasing or building a qualifying new home. The grant generally applies to new homes valued up to $600,000 or newly built homes as part of a house and land package valued up to $750,000.
Depending on your circumstances, you may also qualify for stamp duty exemptions or concessions through the First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme. We’ll assess your eligibility and help ensure you receive every government incentive available to you.
Of course! Mortgage brokers in Australia are licensed to arrange home loans nationwide, regardless of where they or their clients are located. We regularly assist buyers purchasing property in Sydney through our secure online process, digital document collection, electronic signatures, and ongoing support from application through to settlement.
Most lenders issue home loan pre-approval within 3 to 10 business days, although the timeframe can vary depending on the lender, your financial circumstances, and how quickly the required documents are provided.
We help prepare your application thoroughly before submission to minimise delays. If you’re planning to buy at auction, a common scenario in Sydney’s competitive property market, obtaining pre-approval before attending inspections is highly recommended.
The NSW First Home Owner Grant and Stamp Duty Exemption are two separate government initiatives that provide different types of financial assistance. The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a one-off $10,000 payment available to eligible buyers purchasing or building a qualifying new home. The First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme provides eligible buyers with a full or partial exemption from NSW stamp duty on qualifying properties, including both new and established homes, subject to property value thresholds.
If you meet the eligibility requirements, you may be able to receive both benefits, reducing your upfront costs when purchasing your first home.
