What we help with

Four reasons people call us in East Hills

Each one runs a little differently here, because East Hills is a riverside house suburb on the airport line, where a first home buyer can sometimes still reach a house, not just a unit.

First home loans in East Hills
There is real good news here. The median house sits near the first home scheme cap, and a smaller three bedroom home can fall under it, so a first home buyer can sometimes buy a whole house on a 5% deposit with no lenders mortgage insurance. The Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme is set at a $1.5 million cap across Sydney. Larger and riverside homes sit over it, and units near the station sit comfortably under.
Buying your next home in East Hills
This is family upgrader country, on larger and often riverside blocks, so the move is often a unit or a smaller house to a bigger home by the water. Selling first or buying first changes how the loan is built, and bridging finance covers the gap when the order does not line up. A larger block with granny flat or duplex potential changes the numbers again.
Investment property loans in East Hills
Houses here sit on a yield close to 2.7% while units return more, nearer 3.7%. Units near the station rent well, helped by the direct airport line, and on a house a granny flat or second dwelling can add rent that some lenders count towards what you can afford and others will not. That difference can decide whether the numbers work.
Refinancing an East Hills home loan
This is where most people find a quick win. East Hills values have moved up, so the equity in your place is often well past what you last checked. A refinance is the moment the rate, the structure and the years left all get looked at together, and it can fund a renovation, a granny flat, or release a parent's home used as security.

Whichever one brought you here, the first conversation is the same. We look at where you are now, then show you what each lender on our panel would do with it.

Thinking about
your first home?

There are a few ways into an East Hills home with less than a 20% deposit, and because a smaller house here can sit around the first home scheme cap, a house on a 5% deposit is sometimes on the table. We can work through it before you start looking.

About East Hills

What the 2213 market actually looks like

History of East Hills
Named by an early farmer after East Hills near Liverpool in England, it sits about twenty six kilometres south west of the city on the northern bank of the Georges River. Its station opened in 1931 as the line's terminus and now sits on the T8 Airport and South line, a direct run to the city and the airport, with riverside reserves and parks along the water.
East Hills property market
A house suburb, on larger and often leafy riverside blocks, with a smaller run of units near the station. Houses far outnumber units in sales, and the river frontage and the direct line draw families trading in from dearer suburbs closer to the city.
East Hills property prices
Houses sit near $1.5 to $1.7 million on a gross yield around 2.7%, so smaller three bedroom homes can fall under the first home scheme cap while larger and riverside ones sit over it. Units near the station sit near $1.05 million on a stronger yield near 3.7%, comfortably under the cap.
Borrowing in East Hills
Two conversations. On a smaller house you can be around the first home scheme cap, which opens the 5% scheme; on a larger or riverside home you are over it, and a guarantor or a waiver may be the way in. Units near the station are judged on the building, and riverside blocks bring granny flat and duplex potential. Send us the address before you offer and we will tell you where you stand.

Whether it is a house or a unit, we know which lenders are comfortable with each, here and across Canterbury-Bankstown.

next home?

Selling first or buying first changes almost everything about the loan. We can map out every step of the journey.

Client stories

How we helped in East Hills

Three real situations, all of them about closing a gap that looked too wide.

A first home that was a house, not a unit.

They had been saving for a unit, sure a house was out of reach for a first home. In East Hills it was not quite. The smaller three bedder they liked sat just under the government scheme cap, so we checked their eligibility and they bought a whole house on a 5% deposit with no lenders mortgage insurance, keeping the rest of their savings for the move and a buffer.

The upgrade on the airport line.

A family wanted more room and a direct train, and East Hills gave them both. The larger riverside home they found sat over the scheme cap, so we worked out their borrowing assuming the current place was still unsold, arranged a short bridging period, and timed the settlements close together. They moved up to the water without a rushed sale.

The riverside block that earned its keep.

They had a wide East Hills block near the river and built a granny flat, both for family and for the rent. We released equity from the home for the build and set up a small staged facility, then, once it was tenanted, a portion of that rent counted towards servicing with the right lender. The second income changed how quickly the loan was tracking down.

These are past client stories, with details changed for privacy. Your own result depends on your situation and what the lender decides.

FAQ

East Hills questions, answered

Buying your first home, buying your next home, buying an investment property, or refinancing the loan you already have. The questions that come up for each one.

How do I buy my first home in East Hills?
East Hills is one of the few places on the line where a first home buyer can sometimes buy a house rather than a unit, because a smaller three bedroom home can sit around the first home scheme cap. We look at your income, your debts and your deposit, work out what lenders will count, then get you pre-approved. The Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme is $1.5 million across Sydney, so a smaller East Hills house or a unit near the station can often be bought on a 5% deposit with no lenders mortgage insurance, while larger riverside homes sit over the cap. We compare 35+ lenders at $0 cost to you.
Can I buy my next home in East Hills before my current one sells?
Yes, with bridging finance. It is short term borrowing secured over both properties that funds the purchase while the old place is still on the market, and the interest usually builds up rather than being paid each month. It ends when the sale settles. East Hills is a common upgrade suburb, especially for families chasing the river and the direct line, so this comes up a lot. Buying first suits a thin market where the right home is rare; selling first means you know your number before you bid. It is worth pricing both.
When is it worth refinancing an East Hills home loan?
This is where most people find a quick win. A fixed period ending is one trigger. So is a rate that has not been looked at in years, or a guarantee over a parent's home still sitting there long after it was needed. East Hills values have moved up, so the equity in your place may be well past what you think. We compare what you have now against 35+ lenders and show you both answers, including the one where staying put comes out ahead.
Can I refinance to a sharper rate and unlock equity at the same time?
Often, yes. A refinance is the natural moment to move to a lower rate and release some of the equity you have built, in the one application. Usable equity is roughly 80% of what your place is worth today, less what you still owe. On an East Hills house that can be a useful number. The catch is the valuation, which differs between lenders, so the lender with the sharpest rate is not always the one that values your home highest. We weigh both together rather than chasing the rate alone.
Can I buy an investment property in East Hills using equity instead of cash?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people call us. Instead of a cash deposit, we release equity from a property you already own and use that as the deposit and costs on the investment, keeping the two securities separate so the properties are not tied together. Units near the station rent well on the airport line, and on a house a granny flat can add rent that lifts what you can borrow, though only some lenders count it. How the borrowing is split affects tax, so run that part past your accountant.
Do you offer digital appointments and evening or weekend meetings?
Yes. We meet by phone, Zoom and Teams, and we can come to you as well. Appointments run in the evenings and on weekends, not just business hours, so the whole loan can be done around work without taking a day off. You can send documents through securely and sign electronically, so wherever you are in East Hills or beyond, distance changes nothing about how we work.
Can refinancing actually lower my monthly repayments?
It often can, and there is usually more than one lever. A sharper rate is the obvious one. Resetting the loan term can bring the monthly figure down as well, though it stretches the loan out, so we show you what that trade costs over time. Dropping products or fees you are paying for and not using helps too. We compare your current loan against 35+ lenders, and if the repayment comes down we show you exactly where the saving comes from.
Can I refinance to build a granny flat or a duplex?
Yes, and on East Hills' larger riverside blocks this is a common reason to refinance. Releasing equity from the home can fund a granny flat or the early costs of a duplex build, often more cheaply than a separate loan, and a construction or staged facility suits a bigger project, drawing down as the work is done. Where the second dwelling is rented, some lenders will count part of that income too. We look at the equity you have, the likely finished value, and structure it so the loan and the works sit in one place.
Can I refinance to release a family guarantee over my parents' home?
Usually, yes, once enough equity has built up. Plenty of people bought their first place with a parent's home as security and never revisited it. As your property rises in value and the balance comes down, you often reach the point where the guarantee is no longer needed. We refinance the loan, release the parents' property from the mortgage, and can look at the rate and structure at the same time. East Hills values have moved, so it is worth checking where an old guarantee stands.

East Hills sits on the airport line by the Georges River in the Canterbury-Bankstown, and it does not sit on its own. Panania is the next stop toward the city, with Revesby and Padstow beyond and the centre at Bankstown up the line. Condell Park, Bass Hill and Riverwood sit nearby. We cover all of them, so if your search shifts a suburb or two, you are not starting from scratch.
