Common Questions We Answer Every Day

Parramatta buyers and investors come to us with these questions — and we have clear answers for all of them.

Can I get a loan as an IT contractor?

Yes — we work with lenders who accept contractor income. Daily rate and contract history can be used in place of payslips for many lenders.

Can I buy a Parramatta apartment with 5% deposit?

Yes — eligible first home buyers can use the First Home Guarantee to buy with 5% deposit and no LMI on properties up to $900,000 in NSW.

My business income varies — will a bank approve me?

We specialise in self-employed loans for builders, tradespeople, and contractors. Low-doc options available with 1+ year ABN history.

I'm a doctor — can I avoid LMI with less than 20%?

Yes — doctors, lawyers, and certain other professionals can access waived LMI programs, allowing up to 90% LVR without paying LMI.

Is buying near the Metro West upgrade a good investment?

Metro West infrastructure is widely expected to support long-term price growth along the corridor. We can help you structure an investment loan to take advantage.

My rate has jumped — should I refinance?

Many Parramatta owners are still on high variable rates from 2022. We'll compare your current rate against our wide panel of lenders and show you what you could save.

Why People Are Buying in Parramatta

Sydney's most connected second CBD — strong employment, major infrastructure, and apartment value.

Parramatta is no longer just a western suburb — it's Sydney's second city. Sitting approximately 24km west of the CBD, it serves as the economic and administrative centre of Western Sydney, home to major government departments, Westmead Hospital precinct (one of Australia's largest health and research hubs), and a rapidly expanding commercial district. The Metro West project — connecting Parramatta to the CBD in under 20 minutes — is set to be transformative for the entire corridor.

For first home buyers, Parramatta offers genuine value compared to the inner city. Apartments in central Parramatta and surrounding suburbs like Merrylands, Westmead, and Harris Park range from approximately $560,000 to $850,000, with some new OTP stock available at entry-level prices. Houses in the broader LGA are priced around $1.1M median, reflecting ongoing demand from upgraders and investors.

The suburb attracts a highly educated, professional workforce: IT contractors working across Parramatta's tech sector, doctors and specialists employed at Westmead Hospital and its affiliated research institutes, engineers and builders servicing the construction boom, and government employees based at the Parramatta Square development. This creates a diverse borrower base — and one where specialist lending knowledge matters.

For investors, the fundamentals are strong. Gross rental yields in the 4–5.5% range are achievable on well-located apartments, and the Metro West upgrade, and ongoing commercial development all point to sustained growth. Doctors and lawyers working at Westmead may also be eligible for waived LMI programs, allowing them to purchase with as little as 10% deposit without insurance costs.

What Our Parramatta Clients Say

MFAA Accredited · Free Assessment

"I'm an IT contractor on a daily rate and had been knocked back twice by the big banks. Mortgagefy found a lender who assessed my income properly — I settled on a two-bedroom apartment in Parramatta within 8 weeks. Couldn't be happier."

Priya S.

Parramatta, IT Contractor FHB

"Running my own building company made the bank process a nightmare — they wanted three years of tax returns and still said no. Mortgagefy used our bank statements instead and got us approved in Merrylands. Excellent service."

James N.

Merrylands, Self-Employed Builder

"As a specialist at Westmead, I wasn't aware I could get a waived LMI loan. Mortgagefy explained the professional package, saved me over $18,000 in LMI, and we settled on an investment property in Westmead within 6 weeks."

Sunita P.

Westmead, Medical Professional Investor
