Mortgage broker in Newport

Buying or refinancing in Newport

Newport is an inner-west village suburb of Victorian and Edwardian weatherboards, a strong cafe strip on Hall Street, and new townhouses on former industrial land. It is a step closer to the city than Altona and quieter than Yarraville.

Young families upgrading from apartments, renovators restoring period homes, and investors in townhouses. Period homes in Newport often need work. We arrange loans that fund the purchase and a renovation together, or a refinance once the renovation lifts the valuation.

Transport and access: Newport station on the Werribee and Williamstown lines, Melbourne Road and the West Gate Freeway.
