Who this guide is for

Sydney Sri Lankan Sinhala-speaking families and individuals who want home loan advice in Sinhala or with Sri Lankan cultural understanding.

Sri Lankan families in Homebush, Strathfield, Wentworthville, Westmead and across Sydney

Sri Lankan business owners (restaurants, services, retail) wanting self-employed lending advice
Multi-generational Sri Lankan families involving parents and elders in decisions

The real challenge

Sinhala-speaking mortgage brokers are extremely rare in Sydney. Major banks don't employ Sinhala-speaking lending staff. Sri Lankan families navigating the home loan system often translate complex financial concepts informally, sometimes missing important nuance.

Sri Lankan families also commonly involve parents and elders in property decisions — language support makes those conversations flow naturally.

How Mortgagefy helps

Mortgagefy provides Sinhala-speaking support for Sydney Sri Lankan families. We explain home loan concepts (LMI, offset, serviceability, guarantor structures) in Sinhala and English mix.

We know which lenders work well for Sri Lankan PAYG professionals on visas, Sri Lankan business owners, and PR/citizen Sri Lankan families. 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.
