Looking for home loans in the Sutherland Shire? Ingram Financial is a locally owned mortgage broker based in Bangor, NSW. We compare loans from dozens of lenders, explain your options in plain English and handle the paperwork from first chat to settlement. Whether you are buying your first home, moving, refinancing or investing, start here to find the right type of loan.
Home Loan Options We Arrange
Each home loan type below has its own page with more detail, FAQs and the questions lenders will ask.
First Home Loans
Buying your first home means working through deposits, government schemes and stamp duty at the same time. We explain the First Home Guarantee, NSW first home buyer duty savings and family guarantee options, then find a lender that suits you. Learn about first home loans.
Next Home Loans
Upsizing, downsizing or simply moving on? We help you use the equity in your current home, decide whether to buy or sell first, and structure the new loan. Learn about next home loans.
Refinancing
After several rate rises in 2026, many borrowers are checking whether their loan is still competitive. We compare your current loan with other lenders, including switching costs, so you can see whether a move is worth it. Learn about refinancing.
Investment Loans
The loan you choose and how it is structured can make a real difference to your returns. We also explain how the negative gearing changes from 1 July 2027 affect the finance side of new builds and established property. Learn about investment loans.
Construction Loans
Building, knocking down and rebuilding, or adding a granny flat works differently from a standard purchase. Progress payments are released in stages as the build advances, and we help you plan for each one. Learn about construction loans.
Bridging Loans
A bridging loan lets you buy your next home before you sell the current one. It gives you breathing room so you are not rushed into a sale or forced to miss the right property. Learn about bridging loans.
Pre-Approval
Pre-approval shows you what a lender is likely to lend before you start bidding. It helps you search with a realistic budget and act quickly when you find the right place. Learn about pre-approval.
Reverse Mortgages
For homeowners aged 60 and over, a reverse mortgage can release equity without regular repayments. We explain the pros, the cons and the government alternative before you decide. Learn about reverse mortgages.
Self-Employed Home Loans
Business owners, sole traders and contractors often need a lender that reads their income properly. We know which documents lenders ask for and how to present a strong application. Learn about self-employed home loans.

Home Loan FAQs
Choosing a Home Loan
It depends on what you are doing (buying, building, refinancing or investing), your deposit and your income. In a first chat we look at your situation and explain which loan types and features fit.
Yes, many self-employed borrowers do. Lenders usually want recent tax returns and financials, and some accept alternative documents. We match your income type to lenders whose policies suit it.
Working With Ingram Financial
No. We are based in Bangor and focus on the Sutherland Shire, but we help clients across Australia by phone and video.
We compare home loans from dozens of lenders, including major banks and smaller lenders, so we can match the loan to your circumstances rather than one bank’s policy.
In most cases, yes. Pre-approval gives you a realistic budget and helps you act quickly. Some lenders limit how long it lasts, so timing matters.
