Two structures Castle Hill buyers ask us about most.
Land & construction loans
Buying a block in Kellyville, The Ponds or Rouse Hill and building? Land & construction is our heart — the best loan structure for investors, with many long-term benefits. We handle land settlement, builder contracts and 6-stage progressive drawdowns end-to-end.
- Interest-only during build — you only pay on what's drawn
- Owner-builder or registered builder contracts
- Valuations, progress inspections and builder invoicing managed
We structure the loan. For tax treatment of new builds, please consult a registered tax agent or accountant.
SMSF refinance & commercial
New residential SMSF borrowing ended on 10 August 2026. Existing SMSF loans can still be refinanced, contracts signed before the ban can still settle, and commercial property in super is unaffected, which suits Castle Hill business owners buying their own premises.
- Refinance an existing SMSF loan off a legacy rate
- Settlement finance for pre-ban contracts, incl. off-the-plan
- Commercial premises in super (business real property)
We handle the lending side only. For SMSF strategy, super rules and tax advice, please consult your accountant, financial adviser or SMSF specialist.
What it actually costs here.
Our office is here on Oakhill Drive. Castle Hill prices span apartments near Castle Towers and the Metro, townhouses, and family homes well above $2 million, so the help available depends heavily on what you’re buying.
| Example purchase | Duty (standard) | Eligible first home buyer | First home grant | 5% Deposit Scheme |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Established 2-bed apartment near the Metro, $880,000 | $33,787 | $15,674 | No (established) | Yes (cap $1,500,000) |
| Townhouse, $1,350,000 | $55,537 | $55,537 | No (established) | Yes (cap $1,500,000) |
| Established 4-bed house, $2,100,000 | $96,787 | $96,787 | No (established) | Over the $1,500,000 cap |
Local lending notes
- Apartments in the $800,000–$1 million band: an eligible first home buyer pays reduced duty, about $15,674 on an $880,000 apartment instead of $33,787.
- Townhouses up to $1.5 million: full duty applies, but the 5% Deposit Scheme still lets eligible first home buyers buy with 5% and no LMI.
- Larger loans: lender appetite and maximum LVR can change on loans above about $2 million, so we compare lenders on policy as well as rate. Meet us at the office, by phone or by video.

Buying in Castle Hill: what we actually see.
This is our home ground — the office is on Oakhill Drive, a few minutes from Castle Towers and the Metro station. Since the Sydney Metro Northwest opened, Castle Hill has pulled in buyers who want space and a genuine commute, and that has kept competition firm on the established family homes between Old Northern Road and Showground Road.
The practical consequence for borrowers: most Castle Hill houses sit well above the NSW first-home duty exemption threshold of $800,000, so the people we help here are usually upgraders, second-property buyers, or business owners around Norwest. First home buyers do get in — but generally through townhouses and units, where the 5%-deposit Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme (formerly the Home Guarantee Scheme) and its $1.5m Sydney cap still do real work.
Two local lending notes. Upgraders here almost always face the sequencing problem — selling and buying in the same market — so we map simultaneous settlement or bridging before anyone lists. And a large share of our Hills clients are self-employed or run a business out of Norwest, where the right lender's treatment of add-backs matters far more than the advertised rate.
Can first home buyers realistically buy in Castle Hill?
Houses here typically sit above the $800,000 NSW first-home duty exemption, so the full stamp-duty saving rarely applies to a freestanding home. Townhouses and units are the realistic entry point, and the 5% Deposit Scheme (Sydney price cap $1.5 million, no income caps since 1 October 2025) still applies. We map what your deposit actually reaches before you start inspecting.

Yes. The office is at 33 Oakhill Drive, Castle Hill NSW 2154 and we see clients seven days, including evenings. You can also book a Zoom video call or a phone call if that is easier, and we work in English, Nepali and Hindi.

No. The office is in Castle Hill and we see Hills District clients in person, but we arrange loans Australia-wide by phone, Zoom and secure document upload.
