Local lending notes
- Granny flats and duplexes: lenders treat second-dwelling rent differently. Some count most of it towards borrowing power, others only part or none, so the lender choice can change your budget by tens of thousands.
- Knock-down rebuild: if you’re buying an older house to replace, we can set the loan up as land settlement now and a construction loan later, with interest-only during the build.
- First home buyers: units sit comfortably under the $800,000 NSW exemption; townhouses often land in the $800,000–$1 million concession band, where duty is reduced rather than nil.
How duty is worked out: NSW stamp duty guide. Grant rules: NSW First Home Owner Grant. Want real sales data for a specific Merrylands street? Ask us for a free CoreLogic report.
