Mortgage broker in Glen Waverley

Buying or refinancing in Glen Waverley

Glen Waverley is one of the east's most competitive markets, driven by the Glen Waverley Secondary College zone, The Glen redevelopment and the apartment towers around the station. Original homes on large blocks are regularly rebuilt.

School-zone buyers paying a premium for a specific boundary, investors in station apartments, and families financing a knock-down rebuild make up most of our Glen Waverley work. Knock-down rebuilds need a construction loan with progress payments and a lender that values the finished home properly. We also arrange the bridging period if you are renting while you build.

Transport and access: Glen Waverley station at the end of its own line, The Glen shopping centre, and the Monash Freeway nearby.
