Local lending notes
- Temporary visa holders: federal rules currently stop most foreign persons buying established homes until 30 June 2029, so the option is usually a new apartment with FIRB approval. NSW also charges a 9% surcharge: on a $590,000 new apartment that is $53,100 on top of about $20,737 duty.
- First home buyers: an eligible first home buyer pays $0 duty under $800,000, and a new apartment up to $600,000 also gets the $10,000 First Home Owner Grant.
- In your language: Jwala works in English, Nepali and Hindi, so deposits, visas, grants and contracts are explained clearly.

Buying in Harris Park: what we actually see.
Harris Park is best known as Sydney's Little India — the Wigram Street dining strip is a destination in its own right — and it sits a short walk from Parramatta's CBD, train station and metro. That walkability is exactly why demand from young professionals, students and first home buyers stays strong.
The stock is unit-dominated: older art-deco and mid-century blocks, newer apartment towers on the Parramatta fringe, and a small band of Federation-era cottages on tight blocks. For most first home buyers here, the purchase is an apartment — which is good news, because a large share of them fit under the NSW first-home duty exemption at $800,000 and the concession band to $1,000,000.
Local lending notes: strata quality varies more here than in most suburbs, so we read the strata report alongside the loan (levies affect your serviceability as well as your budget); rental demand is deep, which helps investors — though for established units bought now, remember rental losses stop offsetting wages from 1 July 2027 under the legislated negative-gearing changes, which is shifting some investor interest toward newer stock in the Parramatta pipeline.
Is the NSW first-home stamp duty exemption enough for a Harris Park unit?
Usually, yes. Many one- and two-bedroom Harris Park units sit under the $800,000 threshold where eligible first home buyers pay zero transfer duty, with a sliding concession to $1,000,000. On a unit near the threshold that's roughly $30,000 of duty saved — we confirm eligibility and run the exact numbers before you offer.
What should I check before buying a unit in Harris Park?
The strata report is non-negotiable: the suburb mixes older art-deco and 1960s-70s blocks (watch sinking funds and upcoming works) with newer towers (check defect history and levies). Lenders also assess strata fees in your serviceability, so we factor them into your borrowing power up front.

Can I buy in Harris Park on a temporary visa?
