By accessing or using our website you agree to our Terms and Conditions, which include our Privacy Policy. Please take a moment to read these and if you disagree, we kindly ask you to stop using our site.

1. Privacy collection notice
If you own a home or an investment property and plan to sell it to purchase your next property, or if you intend to use the equity from your current asset as a deposit, you need to contact a real estate agent. They can help determine the current market value of the property which will then assist with how much can be unlocked towards the next purchase.
If you need a mortgage, start by reaching out to a bank or a mortgage broker. Brokers often secure better loan terms because they compare multiple providers and understand how to navigate the system for optimal rates. Keep in mind that pre-approvals do expire, and the application process may take time. We recommend making initial contact to get an informal estimate of how much you can borrow, as the broker vetting process is the same pre-approval stage. Once you find your ideal property and have a contract in hand, you can begin the formal finance approval process as part of your contract finance condition. If you need a recommendation for a broker, we’re happy to help!
2. Property and website accuracy
Our website features listings with information, images, prices, and plans for properties we have for sale or have sold. While we strive for accuracy, please remember these details are general and may not reflect the exact conditions. We recommend visiting the property in person or conducting third party expert searches.
