SYDNEY MORTGAGE BROKER: Inner City Units: Size and Fix Matters!


I have come across some dreadful stories in relations to Inner City Units and finance in the preceding few months, and so I decided that the thing deserves attention.

Inner city units are deemed to be high risk securities by mortgage insurers and lenders, the higher the danger the higher the level of trouble to finance.

Every lender and mortgage insurer has their own policies in regards to the LVR (Loan to Value Ratio), unit size, the zip in which the place is located, the top of the construction and the amount of units in the building that will hold the place as an acceptable security.


Depending on the lender the minimum square meters vary from 30-50sqm. Again depending on the lender the minimum size might or might not include external areas (such as balconies, storage space and car park). The position is in most cases determined by postcodes, as a ruler of thumb the closes the postcode is to the CBD of a major city, the higher the risk grade. Once again this can vary from lender to lender. It pays off to use the services of a knowledgeable mortgage broker that knows their panel lenders policies with respects to inner city units.

The serious tidings is that if you design your strategy accordingly financing an interior city unit can be a smooth experience. When mapping out your strategy you want to ask yourself: What type of property will I be looking for? Leave the place be in a questionable postcode? What is the LVR that will fit my strategy?
