Melbourne — Australia's most dynamic property market demands expert guidance.

Melbourne's property market is one of Australia's most dynamic, with median house prices, auction competition, and lending complexity that demand expert guidance. Working with a mortgage broker gives you access to over 60 lenders competing for your business — rather than taking whatever your bank offers.

At Mortgage & Finance Advisory, we help Melbourne buyers, refinancers, and investors navigate the home loan market. Whether you're a first home buyer in the outer suburbs, refinancing in the eastern suburbs, or building an investment portfolio across Melbourne, we find the right loan from the right lender.

First Home Buyers

Breaking into Melbourne's property market requires strategy. We help first home buyers access the Help to Buy scheme, First Home Super Saver Scheme, stamp duty exemptions, and first home buyer grants. We find lenders offering the most competitive packages for buyers with smaller deposits, including those offering LMI waivers for eligible professions. Use our Borrowing Power Calculator to see what you can afford.

Refinancing

With the RBA's 2026 rate decisions reshaping the market, now is an ideal time to review your home loan. We compare your current rate against 60+ lenders and handle the entire switch if a better deal exists. Many Melbourne homeowners save thousands per year by refinancing. See our refinancing guide.

Investment Property Finance

Melbourne's diverse suburbs offer investment opportunities from inner-city apartments to outer-suburban houses. We structure loans to maximise tax efficiency, help you access equity in existing properties, and find lenders with the most favourable investment lending policies.

Melbourne Client Success

A self-employed IT contractor in Hawthorn was declined by two major banks due to his company structure. We found a lender that properly assessed his income using add-backs, securing a $1.2M loan at a competitive rate. He purchased a family home his bank said he couldn't afford.
