How do I buy my next home in Sydney?
You already own, so you have equity and a track record to work with. We check your usable equity, compare 35+ lenders, and get you pre-approved so you can move on your timeline. Our service costs you $0.
Your equity can cover the deposit, so there is no need to save again. If the right home comes up before yours sells, a bridging loan bridges the gap. Or sell first and buy with a firm budget. We will show you which suits.
How much equity can you use for your next home?
Most lenders let you borrow up to 80% of your home value. Your usable equity is that figure minus what you still owe. Here is how it works, using a $400,000 loan as an example.
| Home value | 80% of value | Loan owing | Usable equity |
|---|---|---|---|
| $800,000 | $640,000 | $400,000 | $240,000 |
| $1,000,000 | $800,000 | $400,000 | $400,000 |
| $1,200,000 | $960,000 | $400,000 | $560,000 |
| $1,400,000 | $1,120,000 | $400,000 | $720,000 |
| $1,600,000 | $1,280,000 | $400,000 | $880,000 |
| $1,800,000 | $1,440,000 | $400,000 | $1,040,000 |
| $2,000,000 | $1,600,000 | $400,000 | $1,200,000 |
Estimates only, based on a $400,000 loan owing. Usable equity is 80% of your home value minus your loan. Your own loan balance will differ. Lenders may go above 80% with LMI. Use our home equity calculator for your numbers, or book a free consultation.
Which next home strategy is right for you?
Three good options, and the right one comes down to your equity and your timing:
- Sell first, then buy, for a firm budget.
- Buy first with a bridging loan, so you never miss the right home.
- Keep your current home as an investment and buy the next with equity.
How much equity can I use?
Usually 80% of your home value minus what you owe. On a $1,000,000 home with $400,000 owing, that is $400,000, often enough to cover the deposit and stamp duty. Try the home equity calculator, or call us for your exact position.
Will I pay stamp duty?
Yes, at the full rate, since first home buyer exemptions no longer apply. We work out your figure up front and build it into your budget, so nothing lands as a surprise.
