Join us for an evening of expert advice about new-build lending.


As your local new-build experts, McBrimar are teaming up with trusted partners, Krista Brenssell from MortgageMe, Sam Spivey from PGG Wrightson Real Estate and Simon Carter from HTC Law to answer all your tricky questions and ease your concerns about the lending process.


With interest rates dropping and Spring in full swing, now’s the perfect time to make your next move. Whether you’re a first-home buyer learning the ropes, you’re looking to sell your current home to build new, or you’re a property investor looking to start or expand your portfolio, this information evening will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward.


We’ll discuss hot topics like how a mortgage structure works, when you should sell your current home while your new home is being built, how bridging finance works and what makes a good property investment.
