Looking for a mortgage broker in Emu Plains? We're based in Glenbrook, about 10 minutes up the hill, and Emu Plains is one of the suburbs we lend in most. We compare 70+ lenders for Emu Plains buyers and owners, from a townhouse near the station to a family home close to the river, and we check the flood and title questions early so they don't catch you out at the valuation. 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.
We settled about 120 loans across Penrith and Western Sydney last year, and Emu Plains comes up a lot. Here's where we help most.
Part of Emu Plains is flood-affected. We check what the planning certificate says and what the lender will want to see before you commit.
Units and townhouses here have sold for about $846,000, which is in the NSW stamp duty concession band for eligible first home buyers.
Four in ten Emu Plains households own outright. If you want to renovate or help family, we'll work out what lenders will let you use.
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.

We compare across 70+ lenders and come back with two or three real options, explained in plain English — rate, repayments, features and total cost.
We handle the paperwork, chase the lender, and keep you in the loop the whole way. You sign — we do the rest.
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.

Often, yes, but it depends on the property and the lender. Expect to be asked about its height above flood level, and get an insurance quote before you exchange.
Read the section 10.7 planning certificate in the contract. Penrith Council notes it there if its flood studies place the property below the flood planning level.
No. The lender pays us when your loan settles.

Emu Plains houses have sold for about $1.24 million over the past year, so most sit above the $1 million line where an eligible first home buyer loses the NSW stamp duty concession. Units, townhouses and villas have sold for about $846,000. That's inside the concession band (over $800,000 and under $1 million), so eligible buyers pay reduced duty, and anything at $800,000 or under pays none.
Most first home buyers we help in this part of Sydney use the government's 5% Deposit Scheme, which lets eligible buyers purchase with a 5% deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance up to a $1.5 million cap in Sydney. Our first home buyer home loans service works through every scheme and the real upfront cost, and gets you a pre-approval before you bid.
A bit over a third of Emu Plains households had a mortgage at the 2021 Census, with a median repayment of $2,200 a month. As a rule of thumb, we think a switch is worth it when it saves $300 to $500 a month or more. Changing lenders usually costs around $800 to $1,000, and if you've had your loan for less than about 18 months it's often worth waiting. We'll review yours for free and only suggest refinancing if the numbers stack up after costs.
Renovations are the most common reason our clients borrow against their home. With 39.1% of Emu Plains households owning outright, plenty of locals have equity they haven't touched. We'll show you what lenders will let you access and what the repayments look like before you commit.
You'll deal with a broker from our Glenbrook team, the same person from start to finish. Our Glenbrook office on Park Street takes walk-ins, or we can do everything by phone and video.
