At the 2021 Census, 46.8% of Hazelbrook households owned their home with a mortgage, compared with 32.5% across NSW. A lot of those loans were set up years ago, and lenders often save their sharpest rates for new customers. We'll review your loan for free, compare it with 70+ lenders, and only suggest refinancing if it actually saves you money once costs are counted. If your current loan is already a good deal, we'll tell you that too.
Hazelbrook has a lot of solid older homes, and plenty of owners would rather improve what they have than move. If you've built up equity, you may be able to borrow against it for a new kitchen, an extra bedroom or a second storey. For bigger jobs, a construction loan pays your builder in stages as the work is done, so you only pay interest on what's been drawn. We'll help you line up the quotes, the valuation and the loan in the right order.
A third of employed Hazelbrook residents worked from home at the 2021 Census, and many of them run their own business. Lenders want to see self-employed income a certain way, and the right lender can make a big difference to how much you can borrow. Our self-employed home loans page explains what to have ready.
Need more room but want to stay in the Mountains? We'll work out what you can borrow before you list, and whether a bridging loan makes sense so you're not stuck between two settlements.
Buying your first home in Hazelbrook? Houses here have mostly been valued between $800,000 and $1m, where eligible first home buyers get a NSW stamp duty concession rather than a full exemption, so you pay some duty but a lot less than the full amount. The government's 5% Deposit Scheme lets 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. We cover every scheme you're eligible for as part of our first home buyer home loans service, then get you a pre-approval so you know your budget.
