Who this guide is for

Buyers and refinancers within walking distance of Lakemba station — including the rental terraces, units and houses along Haldon Street, Punchbowl Road and surrounds.

The local picture

Property within walking distance of Lakemba station carries a premium — typically $50K–$100K above further-out Lakemba. Major banks don't differentiate within the suburb; they apply blanket Lakemba pricing assumptions that may understate property value.

For Bangladeshi and Muslim buyers, the language and cultural gap with mainstream brokers adds a second hurdle.

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.
