Canberra and nearby NSW

Living across the ACT and NSW border

Many Canberra professionals work in the ACT but choose to buy in nearby NSW locations such as Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra or Googong. That can change duty, grant and ongoing property cost comparisons.

More complex income examples

Some profession-based lending scenarios involve income that is not purely salary and may need more careful lender matching.

Locum and contractor income

Some lenders may annualise recent income where policy allows.

Company and trust income

Assessment can differ depending on lender and structure.

Loan structuring conversations

Some borrowers also need asset protection or business-related lending discussions.
