Articles to get you started

Planning your next step

Your next home could be a much more complex purchase than your first. All the more reason to start planning early.

Selling your home

Selling your home to buy a new one comes with a range of complexities and opportunities. We can help guide you through the process.

Buying your new place

There are several ways to purchase your dream home, whether you want to buy before you sell or take your existing loan with you.

Why Westpac?

We can help make each stage of your next-home-buying journey a little simpler for you.

Make decisions with confidence

Our home finance managers can guide you through each stage, whether you need to buy before you sell, sell before you buy, align settlement with your next purchase, or simply need more information before you take the next step. Whatever your question, we're here to help.

Take your loan with you

Loan portability means you may be able to transfer your existing Westpac loan and all of its features to your new property without going through the hassle of refinancing or reapplying (conditions apply).
