Who this guide is for

Pakistani families and individuals newly arrived in Australia who want a clear plan for home loan eligibility — even if you're 1–2 years away from being ready.

  • Pakistani PR holders within their first 2 years in Sydney
  • Skilled visa holders (482, 491) considering buying their first home
  • Newly-arrived families with overseas savings ready to use as deposit
  • Pakistani Muslim families wanting to plan ahead for halal home finance

The real challenge

Newly-arrived Pakistani migrants face the same chicken-and-egg problem most new migrants face: banks want Australian income history, but you're just building it. The lending system isn't explained well anywhere, and cultural patterns around family decision-making, deposit sources and Islamic finance aren't understood by most brokers.

Most general brokers don't handle new-migrant scenarios well — and don't speak Urdu.

How Mortgagefy helps

Mortgagefy works with newly-arrived Pakistani families regularly. We explain in Urdu how the Australian system works, when you can apply, what documentation you need, and which lenders work well for newly-PR or skilled-visa Pakistani borrowers.

We're happy to chat early — planning ahead makes a real difference. 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.
