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

Do you serve both Sinhala and Tamil Sri Lankan families?

Yes. We work with both communities. The Australian lending system treats both equally — what matters is visa status, income and deposit, not country of origin or community.

I work in IT or healthcare on a 482 visa. Can I get a home loan?

Yes — many lenders accept 482 and 491 visa holders. Some require larger deposits (often 20%) and apply different serviceability rules. We know which lenders are most flexible.

Can I use savings from Sri Lanka as deposit?

Yes — overseas savings can be used with documentation showing source. Money typically needs to be in an Australian account 3 months before settlement.

I run a Sri Lankan restaurant or business. Will banks lend?

Yes — with the right lender. Some are much more flexible with Sri Lankan small business income than others. With 2 years of tax returns plus BAS, options open up.

Can my parents in Sri Lanka be involved in the conversation?

Yes. Many Sri Lankan families involve parents in property decisions. We can include them on calls (often via WhatsApp video) and explain in Sinhala or Tamil.
