Mortgage broker in Burwood East

Buying or refinancing in Burwood East

Burwood East is Burwood Highway's suburb: Burwood One, the Tally Ho business park, Deakin's Burwood campus next door, and streets of 1960s brick homes and newer apartments along the highway and Blackburn Road. Blocks are generous and a lot of them have been rebuilt.

Investors buying near Deakin, families upgrading within Whitehorse and owners refinancing after a rebuild are the Burwood East mix. If you are holding an apartment that has not grown much while your house has, a refinance with equity release can fund the next purchase without selling.

Transport and access: the route 75 tram along Burwood Highway, Burwood Highway and Blackburn Road buses, EastLink and the Monash Freeway both within ten minutes.
