Who this guide is for

Sri Lankan families across Sydney — both Sinhala and Tamil — who want home loan advice from a broker who understands their context.

  • Sri Lankan families in Homebush, Strathfield, Wentworthville, Westmead, Sydney Olympic Park
  • Sri Lankan IT professionals, engineers, doctors and accountants on PR or visas
  • Multi-generational Sri Lankan families involving parents and elders in property decisions
  • Sri Lankan business owners (restaurants, services) needing self-employed lending advice

The real challenge

Sri Lankan-language brokers are rare in Sydney. Major banks don't employ Sinhala or Tamil-speaking lending staff. Sri Lankan families navigating the home loan process often have to translate complex financial concepts — sometimes through family members, sometimes losing important nuance.

Sri Lankan families also commonly involve parents and elders in major decisions, which works smoother with proper language support.

How Mortgagefy helps

Mortgagefy provides Sinhala and Tamil-speaking support for Sydney Sri Lankan families. We explain home loan concepts in language and English mix. We know which lenders work well for Sri Lankan PAYG professionals on visas, business owners and PR/citizen Sri Lankan families.

We can include elders in conversations. Free advice, no pressure.

Frequently asked questions

We use offer letters and vesting schedules to value RSUs conservatively. We present current vesting value + projected future vesting as a 3-5 year income average. This gives lenders confidence in your income stability while accounting for market volatility.
Both. We work with W2 employees, 1099 contractors, and consultants. For contractors, we use 2 years of tax returns plus business financials. We have lenders who specialise in contractor income—they understand the variability.
Unvested options have zero value for refinancing. We count only vested equity. If you have a 4-year vest, we use 25% of the grant value (what's vested) plus a conservative projection of future vesting.
If you've been in your new role 6+ months, most lenders will refinance. We'll use your offer letter plus 6 months of pay stubs. If less than 6 months, it's harder but possible with specialist lenders.
Yes, if you have 2+ years of bonus history. We average the past 2 years and present it conservatively. Some bonuses get counted at 50% to be conservative with variable compensation.
ESPP is counted as deferred compensation. If your company matches or you have a discount, we value it as part of total compensation package.
