What We Do

Owner-Occupier Loans

Whether you’re a first-home buyer, upgrading to accommodate a growing family or purchasing your forever home, we can help you navigate the home loan process with confidence. We compare loan options from a wide range of lenders and guide you from pre-approval to settlement.

Investment Loans

Building a successful property portfolio starts with the right finance strategy. We help investors compare loan structures, repayment options & features that may support their borrowing & cash flow objectives.

Refinancing

We review your current loan, compare options across our lender panel and help you assess if refinancing may provide access to a different rate, repayment structure, usable equity or eligible debt consolidation options. We handle the entire process on your behalf to make switching lenders simple and stress-free.

Guarantor Loans

Guarantor loans allow your family members to use a portion of their property’s equity to support your home purchase. This can help reduce deposit requirements, increase borrowing capacity and potentially avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). We’ll explain the process clearly and help determine whether a guarantor loan is right for you.

SMSF Loans

Purchasing an investment property through a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) requires specialised lending knowledge and careful structuring. We work alongside your licensed financial adviser, accountant & solicitor to navigate through SMSF lending solutions along with the unique requirements involved.

The Local Area

We Serve Chermside and the Whole Neighbouring Areas

Chermside sits roughly 10km north of the Brisbane CBD and has evolved from a retail destination into one of the northside’s most important residential and health precincts. The suburbs’ infrastructure gives them a stability that many comparable distance suburbs simply don’t have.
Westfield Chermside

Queensland’s largest shopping centre is a major employment anchor and driver of foot traffic that supports local residential demand.

The Prince Charles Hospital & St Vincent's Northside

Two major hospitals create a consistent base of healthcare workers, students, and service sector employees who rent and buy locally.

Gympie Road Bus Rapid Transit

Express bus services to the CBD and connections throughout the northside are a key commuter advantage for residents and a price support factor for investors.

7th Brigade Park & Parklands

Chermside includes major recreation spaces like 7th Brigade Park and is close to community facilities, including Chermside Library and the aquatic centre.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions by our clients. For the specifics, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Our office is conveniently located in Chermside, and we’d love to welcome you in person. If visiting isn’t convenient, then we also provide online appointments to clients anywhere in Australia.

Most lenders require a minimum of 5% deposit for owner occupiers using First Home Guarantee (FHBG) or 10-20% without government support. Since Chermside’s median price is around $1.1 million, a 10% deposit is roughly $110,000. Units are more accessible, as a 10% deposit on the median unit is around $80,000. WE can help you identify potentially relevant schemes & explain their lending requirements. Final eligibility must be confirmed under each program’s rules.

Yes, we do work with lenders who have flexible policies for self-employed applicants, including low-doc and alt-doc loan options. In typical cases, you’ll need 1-2 years of tax returns or, in some cases, 6-12 months of business bank statements or a letter from your accountant. This is a common scenario for us since many of our northside clients are contractors, tradies, or small business owners.

Eligible first home buyers in Queensland may receive a $30,000 FHOG when buying or building a qualifying new home valued below $750,000. Separate transfer-duty concessions may also apply. Eligible buyers of qualifying new homes or residential vacant land may receive a full concession without a property value cap. While established homes may receive a full first home concession of $700,000 or less, and a partial concession below $800,000.
 

Chermside has strong fundamentals for investors. The proximity to The Prince Charles Hospital & St Vincent’s Northside drives steady rental demand from healthcare workers. The Westfield precinct supports service sector employment, and bus rapid transit on Gympie Road makes it accessible to the CBD. The unit values rose 24% over the past year, and the rental vacancy rate remains tight. Unit gross yields of around 4.3% are competitive in the current Brisbane market.
