[TBC] Real review pending importSouth of the river · Riverside
Como sits on the south bank of the Swan River with a median house price around $1.25 million. The suburb mixes 1960s family homes on large blocks with an apartment strip along Canning Highway and a riverside premium pocket near the Como Hotel. The buyer mix is South Perth and Salter Point families moving sideways for the school catchment, west-of-river upgraders crossing the bridge, and downsizers from Applecross. We settle Como loans regularly from our Osborne Park office.
Local context
The Como market splits along the Canning Highway. South of the highway is dominated by family-scale 1960s and 1970s houses with renovation potential, similar in profile to Wembley. North of the highway, closer to the river, the stock is denser and pricier, with riverside character homes, premium townhouses and apartments. Lender appetite handles both, but the loan structure is different. Family home upgraders run offset and redraw. Riverfront character buyers need upfront valuations because of view and heritage overlay quirks. Apartment buyers need lender policy checked against the specific building.
Our job is to know which of those three you are, before we shortlist a lender.
How we help
For Como family upgraders, the work is the standard South Perth district playbook: offset structure on the new loan, bridging from the previous home, and a timing plan around school start dates. For riverside character buyers, we add the upfront valuation pass, the same way we handle character homes in Nedlands and Subiaco. For apartment buyers along Canning Highway, the binding constraint is whether the lender will lend on the specific building at all. Some lenders blacklist Como towers built before 2000. Others have no issue. Knowing this before the contract signs prevents a late-stage decline.

Common question
No. The lender pays us at settlement, so most Como buyers pay no broker fee. The Best Interests Duty under the National Credit Act requires us to act in your interest. We are happy to walk you through exactly what the lender pays us on your specific loan so you can see there is no conflict.
