Your Central Coast Mortgage Broker

Whether you're buying your first home in Gosford, upgrading to a beachside property in Terrigal, investing in Wyong, or refinancing an existing Central Coast loan, Lend & Loan compares 50+ lenders to find the loan that fits. Our service is completely free.

John Pierre Saliba has 10+ years' experience in mortgage broking and regularly works with Central Coast buyers. Located in Sydney's Barangaroo, the Central Coast is part of our core service area. John understands which lenders favour the region, how to structure loans for coastal properties, and how to navigate self-employment, LMI waivers, and SMSF lending.

John's lending insight: Central Coast

The Central Coast offers some of the best value in the Greater Sydney commuter belt. With a house median of $1.12M, it sits well below Sydney's $1.62M. The region attracts first home buyers priced out of Sydney, sea-changers, and investors seeking better yields. Lender appetite is strong, and several lenders offer competitive rates for Central Coast postcodes.

Many Central Coast suburbs fall under the NSW stamp duty exemption threshold of $800K. The $10,000 First Home Owner Grant applies to new homes under $600K. The First Home Guarantee allows 5% deposit with no LMI up to $900K.

Refinancing

On a $894K loan, a 0.5% rate cut saves $4,500/year. If your fixed rate has expired or you haven't reviewed in 2 years, you may be overpaying. A free rate review across 50+ lenders takes 20 minutes.

How much could Central Coast homeowners save by refinancing?

It depends on your balance and current rate, but as a guide, a 0.50% rate cut on a $600,000 loan saves about $181 a month, roughly $2,175 a year. With Central Coast property values where they are, many owners also unlock equity at the same time. John runs your exact numbers for free.

Do you handle cash-out refinances in Central Coast?

Yes. If your Central Coast property has grown in value, a cash-out refinance can release equity for renovations, investing or consolidating debt, subject to lender assessment. John settled several large cash-out refinances across Sydney in 2026 and publishes anonymised examples on the settled deals page.

How much does it cost to refinance?

Typical switching costs run from about $700 to $1,200, covering discharge fees, government registration and a new application. On a $600,000 loan, a 0.50% rate cut saves about $250 a month, so most Sydney refinances recover their costs within three to nine months.
