I am a first home buyer and had Carl as my mortgage broker. He worked diligently to follow up any issues or questions I had and made the process as smooth as it could. I highly recommend! Thank you Carl.

As a first home buyer, Carl and the team at Azura were incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They made everything feel straightforward and were always there to answer any questions along the way. I’ve already recommended them to friends and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a mortgage!

Shaun Cunningham

As a founder, getting a mortgage requires a couple more hoops to jump through, which is why I couldn't recommend Nick O'Sullivan and the Azura team more highly. Not only were they able to offer a seamless process, but Nick was also patient with us as we changed our minds about when to buy (over a period of years!). The truth is anyone can approach a bank and get a mortgage, but when things don't go perfectly (e.g. abrupt government changes), that's when you want a pro on your team like Nick.

Nick and the team at Azura Financial exceeded our expectations at every step. Their guidance was clear, their expertise was evident, and they handled every financial detail with care — giving us complete peace of mind throughout the process. We couldn't have asked for a better team by our side. Thank you very much, V&V.

Nick O’Sullivan helped me with my first investment property purchase last year. As it was my first time, I had plenty of questions, but he was always happy to help and made the whole process seamless. I recently used Nick again to refinance my loan and secure a great interest rate, and once again everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Nick and his team and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can tradies get finance for a subdivision, spec home, or knock down rebuild?

These are specialist loan types and not every lender will consider them, so it really depends on the project, your financial position, and how your income is structured. Subdivision loans, spec home financing, and knock down rebuild loans are generally assessed on the end value of the project along with your ability to service the debt during construction. If you are a tradie looking at one of these options, it is worth having a conversation early so we can give you a realistic picture of what might be available.

What vehicle finance options are available for tradies?

Tradie vehicle finance can cover a range of assets including utes, vans, trucks, and work vehicles, but what is available will depend on how your business is structured, whether the vehicle is for personal or business use, and your current financial position. Tradies in Brisbane, Perth, the Gold Coast, and across Australia have different lender options available to them depending on their circumstances. Get in touch and we can look at what car loans or vehicle finance for tradies might suit your situation and cash flow.

Can tradies get a loan to build or finance a granny flat?

Financing a granny flat is something a number of tradies explore, whether it is to generate rental income, house family, or add value to an existing property. How you might go about it depends on your available equity, your current loan structure, and the lender's view of the finished property value. Some lenders are more comfortable with granny flat loans than others. Reach out and we can talk through what options may be worth looking at based on your property and financial situation.

Can tradies access equity release loans to free up cash from their property?

It depends on your situation, but many tradies with equity built up in their home or investment property may have options worth exploring. Equity release loans can potentially be used for a deposit on another property, business equipment, debt consolidation, or renovations. The right structure depends on your income type, existing debts, and how much equity you have available. Get in touch and we can look at what equity release home loan options might be available to you across our panel of 40+ lenders.

What are the pros and cons of strata loans for tradies?

Strata loans can be worth considering for tradies looking at apartments, townhouses, or units, but lenders tend to assess them differently to freestanding homes. Competitive strata loan interest rates may be available, though some lenders have restrictions on high-rise buildings, small complexes, or properties with high levies. Add tradie income into the mix and the right fit can take some finding. Reach out and we can help you understand what strata finance options may suit your trade income and the specific property you have in mind.

How do tradie home loans work when your income is irregular or ABN-based?

Lenders tend to assess tradie home loan applications differently depending on whether you are PAYG, on an ABN, subcontracting, or running your own business. Some lenders may work from two years of tax returns, others may have low doc options that require less paperwork. What is available to you will depend on your specific income structure and financial situation. Talk to us and we can look at which lenders on our panel are likely to be a good fit for the way you earn.

What should tradies know about getting their first investment property loan?

There are a few things worth understanding before you apply for your first investment property loan as a tradie. Things like how lenders view your borrowing capacity, whether you could use existing equity as a deposit, and how your trade income might be assessed. Everyone's situation is different, so it is worth having a conversation before you apply anywhere, to avoid unnecessary hits to your credit file.

What are current construction loan interest rates for tradies in Australia?

Construction loan interest rates in Australia vary depending on the lender, your loan-to-value ratio, income structure, and whether you go fixed or variable during the build. Because rates can differ quite a bit between lenders, going direct to one bank may not give you the full picture.

Can tradies use an SMSF loan to buy property or fund a development?

Using an SMSF loan to purchase property is something some tradies explore, but there are strict rules around what can be bought, how the fund needs to be structured, and what the ATO permits. Whether it is residential property, commercial premises, or business real property, eligibility depends heavily on your individual circumstances. It is worth speaking with both a financial adviser and a broker before going down this path. If you want to understand what SMSF lending might look like for your situation, we are happy to talk it through.
