Neutral Bay, Lower North Shore
Mortgage Broker in Neutral Bay
Neutral Bay is mostly apartments, and apartment lending has more fine print than most buyers expect. Building age, apartment size, strata health and even the number of units in a block can change which lenders will lend and how much.

Lending in Neutral Bay: what to know
Off-the-plan valuations.
If a new apartment values below the contract price at settlement, you'll need to cover the gap. We stress-test this before you sign.
Strata due diligence.
Post-war blocks may face large repair bills. Lenders value the unit, not the building's sinking fund, so the risk is yours.
Investment structures.
Interest-only, offset accounts and loan splits matter more than rate alone for investors.
