Lending in Freshwater: what to know
Granny flat income
Some lenders count projected rent from a secondary dwelling toward your borrowing, others only once it's leased. Lender choice matters.
Construction finance for the granny flat
Built after purchase, it's usually funded with a construction loan or by refinancing.
Coastal properties
Homes close to the headland or beach may sit under coastal planning controls, which can affect building approvals.
