Apartments near the Metro
Many units sell below $800,000, where eligible first home buyers pay no NSW stamp duty. Some lenders limit loans on small apartments, so we check the building before you commit.
Mortgage broker for Rouse Hill.
Rouse Hill mixes apartments around the Metro and Town Centre with established family homes. That means very different loans, from a first apartment with a 5% deposit to a family upgrade. We help you find the lender that fits.

Apartments close to the Metro make Rouse Hill one of the more affordable ways into the Hills district, while the surrounding streets are mostly family houses. Lenders treat these two markets differently, especially small apartments and investor-heavy buildings.
How we help in Rouse Hill
Units with solid rent
Units here rent well. Under tax changes passed in June 2026, if you buy an established unit, from 1 July 2027 any rental loss can't reduce the tax on your wages; it's carried forward instead. We show you the cash flow both ways.
Houses and upgrades
For family houses, a 5% Deposit Scheme loan (up to the $1.5 million cap) or a family guarantee can help you buy without lenders mortgage insurance.
Refinancing
Many Rouse Hill loans date from the Metro opening in 2019. If yours hasn't been reviewed, we compare it against current offers.

Common questions from Rouse Hill clients
Will lenders lend on a small apartment in Rouse Hill?
Most will, but some limit the loan size on apartments under about 40–50 m² of living space, or in buildings with a high share of investors. We check the property against each lender's rules first.
Can I use the 5% Deposit Scheme for an apartment?
Yes, if you meet the eligibility rules and the price is within the $1.5 million Sydney cap. The scheme works with houses, townhouses and apartments.
Which council is my Rouse Hill property in?
Rouse Hill is split between The Hills Shire and Blacktown City councils. It doesn't change your loan, but it affects council rates and planning rules.
