About Me

15 years Banking experience specialising in commercial and residential lending. I've lived in the St George area for over 10 years and have a group of friends who I love to associate with. Apart from English, I speak fluent Mandarin and Cantonese.

Being an ex-banker, I am comfortable dealing with banks and familiar with their lending criteria and settlement process.

Here are some Most Asked Questions:

- I plan to buy another property. Can I use the equity in the current property?

- We would like to upgrade to a larger home. Do we have to sell the current one?

- My parents have a house and are willing to be my guarantors. Which lender accepts 'Family Pledge'?

- I just started a new job and am on probation. Am I eligible to apply for a home loan now?

- Do you do construction loans? We are interested in a house & land package.

- I have a few credit cards and personal loans and my credit score is not too good, do you have lenders that would consider?

- We are first home buyers and would like to know more about First Home Loan Deposit Scheme/stamp duty exemption...

Whatever situation you are in, I am here to help.

Jane is patient, dedicated and professional. Her friendly nature and deep lending knowledge delivered me a huge trust that I never had a single stress throughout the entire loan process. I selfishly contacted her at night or even weekends for concerns I had, she always replied back within 2 hours. She knows what the issues are and has a solution for me. Based on great personal experience, I highly recommend Jane to anyone who is ready to apply for a loan.

Home Buyer Concession Scheme

From 1 July 2019, the FHOG ACT has been replaced with exemptions on stamp duty. The stamp duty exemption is applicable to all properties in ACT, including vacant residential land and both new and established homes at any price. As this is still to aid first home buyers, to be eligible at least one buyer must live in the home for at least 12 months, starting within 12 months of settlement or completion of construction.

To be eligible, first homeowners in the ACT must have a household income below $160,000. This number increases up to $176,650 depending on the number of children you may have.
