Frequently asked questions — mortgage broker castle hill

Does the Metro line affect my borrowing capacity for a Castle Hill property?

The Metro North West line has supported strong price growth in Castle Hill and increased rental demand, which improves serviceability assessment for investor loans. Lenders factor in rental income projections, and Castle Hill’s strong rental market supports those projections. We model the numbers for your specific situation.

Can I use my SMSF to buy commercial property in Castle Hill?

Yes. SMSF funds can purchase commercial property through an LRBA. Castle Hill’s commercial precinct near Westfield is an area where we have helped SMSF trustees acquire commercial property. We work with specialist SMSF lenders and liaise directly with your accountant and solicitor throughout the process.

What deposit do I need to buy a unit in Castle Hill as a first home buyer?

With the First Home Guarantee, you can buy with as little as 5% deposit and no LMI. For a $750,000 unit that is $37,500. The scheme now has no income caps so higher earners can still access it. We check your eligibility and lodge the application with a participating lender on our panel.
