Who we help in Norwest
Norwest borrowers are often business owners and professionals, so self-employed lending and commercial property come up alongside the usual home loans.
Business owners and the self-employed
Many Norwest borrowers run their own business. We use lenders that treat add-backs and recent financials fairly, including alt-doc options with BAS or an accountant’s letter.
Buying your own premises
Commercial property loans for offices and strata suites in the business park, including premises held in super where the property is business real property.
Professionals
Some lenders waive LMI for eligible professions such as doctors, accountants and lawyers, often up to 90% of the price. That can be worth more than a small rate difference.
Apartment buyers
Buying near the Metro station? We check how lenders treat the building, then work out your deposit, stamp duty and whether the 5% Deposit Scheme applies.
Refinancing
Had your loan for a few years? We check a current valuation and your balance to see your usable equity, then compare your rate against 40+ lenders.
Investors
Using equity to buy an investment property? We set up the loan so the investment debt is kept separate from your home loan. For tax treatment, speak to your accountant.

Local lending notes
- New apartments: some lenders limit how much they will lend against new or high-density apartments, and against very small ones. We check lender policy on the building before you pay a deposit.
- Apartments in the $800,000 to $1 million band: an eligible first home buyer pays reduced duty, about $9,796 on an $850,000 apartment instead of $32,437.
- Self-employed income: lenders differ on how they treat add-backs, company profits and one strong year. The right lender often matters more than the advertised rate.
- Commercial premises: the deposit is typically 20–35%, more than most home loans need. We compare commercial lenders on rate and on how much they will lend.
