01 — Lending in Clayton

What we see most in Clayton

Investment lending is a big part of the picture here. Some lenders have particular policies on small apartments, student accommodation and dual-key properties, so the property type you choose can change your lender options. We flag that early, before you fall for something a lender won't touch.

We also help a lot of healthcare and university staff. Some professions may qualify for reduced lenders mortgage insurance with certain lenders, and income from shift work, overtime or contracts can be assessed differently from lender to lender. We'll help you understand how your income is likely to be viewed.

And then there's building. Older brick veneer homes on decent blocks around Clayton and Clayton South are often replaced with two or three townhouses. If that's your plan, our construction and development finance pages explain how we approach it.
