Terrey Hills includes larger holdings, and land size changes lending policy more than most buyers expect.
Equity in a long-held Terrey Hills property
Larger holdings bought years ago often carry substantial equity. Releasing part of it can fund works or another purchase — subject to the same land-size and zoning policy that applied at purchase.
Land size limits
Lenders cap the land area they will lend against on standard residential terms. Above that cap — or where the zoning is rural-residential rather than residential — the property is assessed under different policy, often with a lower maximum loan-to-value ratio.
Services, access and bushfire
Unsewered properties, tank water, private access roads and bushfire-prone land all get weighed in a valuation, and each one can shorten the list of lenders willing to proceed at the ratio you want.
Fewer comparable sales
Large blocks trade infrequently, so valuations vary more between lenders than they would on a standard suburban home. Approaching the right lender first matters more here than almost anywhere else.
We work across Terrey Hills and the streets around it — Frenchs Forest, Belrose, Davidson and Forestville — so the comparable sales a valuer will reference are ones we see regularly. Terrey Hills falls under Northern Beaches Council, postcode 2084.

Terrey Hills Mortgage Broker FAQs
Why do valuations vary so much on larger blocks?
Because there are fewer recent comparable sales to reference. That variation is exactly why the order in which you approach lenders matters on acreage.
Why does acreage finance take longer?
Specialist valuers, more detailed questions and sometimes a second valuation all add time. We factor that into the finance clause rather than discovering it late.
Does an unsewered property or tank water affect my loan?
It can. Services, access and bushfire exposure all feed into the valuation and into which lenders will proceed. None of it is a barrier on its own — it just narrows the field, which is worth knowing before you make an offer.
Do I need to visit your Forestville office?
No. Most Terrey Hills clients work with us by phone, video and email, and we can meet locally when that is easier. Our office in The Centre, Forestville is a short drive away.
