Looking for mortgage brokers in Blackheath who understand how an Upper Mountains income looks to a lender?

Whether you work for yourself, you're renting and ready to buy, or you've found a block out towards the Megalong Valley, we find the lender whose rules fit before you apply. The lender pays us when your loan settles, so our advice costs you nothing.
A local broker will call you within 1 business hour. No fees, no obligation.
Blackheath loans usually come down to three questions: how a lender reads your income, whether you can make the jump from renting, and what the land is. We help with each one.
Running a café, a studio or a trade, or juggling two part-time jobs? Every lender counts that income its own way. We find the ones that count yours.
About one in five Blackheath households rents. Most houses here sit in the NSW first home buyer stamp duty concession band, and we'll work out what you'd actually pay.
Bigger blocks towards the Megalong Valley and bushfire-prone land change which lenders will say yes. We check before you fall for a place.
Whatever you’re trying to buy, build or restructure — there’s a lender on our panel for it.
Buying your first home? We'll walk you through the 5% deposit scheme, the stamp duty concessions and what your budget can realistically buy in the suburbs you're looking at.

Learn more →Buying an investment property, or your next one? We set up investment loans with tax, future borrowing power and long-term growth in mind, and work with your accountant on the structure.
Learn more →Building, or knocking down and rebuilding? Construction loans use progress payments and a valuation of the finished home. We work with your builder and lender so each payment is released on time.
Learn more →Self-employed, contracting or running a small business? We know how each lender looks at BAS statements, business income and accountant letters, and which ones are most likely to say yes.
Learn more →When the right place comes up, it doesn't sit on the market for long. Pre-approval means you can bid at auction or make a serious offer knowing roughly what a lender will approve.

We don’t disappear once your loan settles. We review your rate annually and we’re always a phone call away if your situation changes.

It depends on the land size, the zoning and the house on it. Some lenders will, some limit how much land they count, and some want a bigger deposit. Ask us before you make an offer.
No. Our office is on Park Street in Glenbrook, about 50 minutes down the highway, and we see clients at our Windsor office by appointment. Most Blackheath clients do everything by phone and video.

We compare home loans from 70+ lenders, and in Blackheath the right lender often depends less on the house and more on you.
Plenty of Blackheath people work for themselves in tourism, hospitality, the arts or a trade, or put together part-time and casual work. Lenders don't treat that the same way. One wants two years of tax returns, another accepts one. One averages your last two years, another uses the lower year. A quiet winter can look worse on paper than it was. We'll tell you what to get ready and which lenders fit how you earn. Our self-employed home loans page has the paperwork list.
At the 2021 Census, 20.7% of Blackheath households were renting, at a median $380 a week. On a household income below the state median, that makes saving a deposit slow, so it pays to know exactly what you need.
Blackheath houses have mostly been valued at around $930,000 to $950,000 this year. That sits in the NSW first home buyer concession band (over $800,000 and under $1 million), so eligible buyers pay reduced stamp duty. Units have been valued at around $635,000, under the $800,000 line where eligible first home buyers pay none. The government's 5% Deposit Scheme can let you buy with a 5% deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance, up to the price cap for the area, and we'll check the cap for the exact property. Our first home buyer home loans service covers every scheme, the real upfront cost and a pre-approval before you bid.
The median Blackheath mortgage repayment was $1,733 a month at the 2021 Census, below the state median. Some lenders price by loan size, so a smaller loan can miss out on their sharpest rates, and many keep their lowest rates for new customers. We'll compare your rate with 70+ lenders for free and only suggest refinancing if the saving beats the cost of switching.
Blackheath is about 50 minutes up the highway from our Glenbrook office, so most Blackheath clients deal with us by phone and video and send their documents online. If you'd rather sit down in person, come to Park Street. Justin Leaney, our principal, is a Blue Mountains local with more than 15 years in lending, and the same person stays with your loan from the first chat to settlement.
