FAQs – Common Questions from Kings Cross Clients

Is Kings Cross a good area to invest in?
 Yes. Urban renewal has created walkability, safety, and long-term demand. With the right lender, it’s a competitive investment location.

Do heritage overlays make it harder to borrow?
 Not necessarily. We work with valuers who understand the nuances of Art Deco and conversion stock.

What deposit is typically required?
 Generally 10–20% for owner-occupiers, and more for investors. Strata levies and title complexity can influence lender policy.

How do strata fees impact my borrowing capacity?
 Higher levies reduce how much you can borrow. We factor them in from the start so there are no surprises.

Can I use short-stay income in my loan application?
 Sometimes. If the income is documented and permitted under building policy, we can work with lenders who accept it.
