The Fitzroy property market
Fitzroy is one of Melbourne's most characterful inner-city suburbs, full of Victorian terraces, converted warehouses and boutique apartments around Brunswick and Gertrude Streets. Its heritage housing and growing apartment stock mean lenders treat properties differently — period homes are popular, while some banks are wary of smaller units. As a local Fitzroy broker, we know which lenders are comfortable with the area and will help your loan move smoothly.
