Local context, broader lender choice

Based in Rozelle. Helping clients across the Inner West and beyond.

Buying or refinancing in the Inner West can come with its own set of lending questions, from strata and apartment purchases to terrace renovations, substantial purchase prices and planning the next move. Max helps you understand what your position supports, how different loan structures may affect your cash flow and what needs to be ready before you make a decision.

Inner West home loan questions, answered clearly

Before you enquire, you might have a few questions about how we work, what we can help with, and what happens next. Here are the basics.

Do I need to have found a property before speaking with Max?

No. Speaking with Max early can help you understand your borrowing position, likely lender requirements and what to prepare before you make an offer. If you are still planning, the first conversation can simply focus on the steps ahead.

Can Max help first home buyers in the Inner West?

Yes. Max helps first home buyers understand borrowing capacity, deposits, lender policy, pre-approval and government schemes or incentives where they are available and suitable. He will explain the process from the first plan through to settlement.

Can Max review my existing home loan?

Yes. Max can review the rate, structure, features and flexibility of your current loan, then compare suitable alternatives across lenders. A refinance only makes sense when the overall benefit and costs stack up for your situation.

Does Max only work with clients in Rozelle and Balmain?

No. Max is based in Rozelle and supports clients across Sydney’s Inner West, broader Sydney, regional NSW and Australia. Meetings can be held by phone or video when that is more convenient.

Can Max help with investment and SMSF property lending?

Yes. Max works with property investors and clients exploring SMSF lending. SMSF borrowing involves legal, accounting and financial advice outside the loan itself, so Max can coordinate with your accountant, financial adviser and other professionals where needed.

What should I bring to the first conversation?

You do not need a complete application file to start. It helps to have a broad picture of your income, savings, existing debts, regular expenses and the property goal you are considering. Max will provide a clear document checklist when detailed assessment is needed.

How are mortgage broker fees and commissions handled?

Any fee that applies to your situation will be disclosed before you proceed. Mortgage brokers may also receive commission from a lender when a loan settles. The relevant remuneration and credit information will be explained in the documents provided during the process.
