About Essendon North
Essendon North is the quiet achiever of the Essendon district — a compact pocket between Keilor Road's shopping strip and the Calder Freeway gateway, with interwar brick homes, newer townhouse infill and the 59 tram terminating at its doorstep.
The Essendon North property market
Stock is limited and turnover low, which keeps competition warm for family homes. Townhouse development along the main corridors has added contemporary options, and the suburb trades at a useful discount to Essendon proper while sharing its schools and transport.
Families targeting the Essendon school catchments at a sharper entry price, downsizers wanting single-level townhouses near Keilor Road, and professionals using the tram and freeway in equal measure.
Our specialty in Essendon North: upgrader and townhouse lending
Essendon North buyers are often mid-journey — selling one home to buy the next. Bridging finance, subject-to-sale strategy and settlement alignment are our daily work; see our refinancing practice and talk to us before you list, not after you buy.

Essendon North Home Loan Questions
- Should I buy before selling in Essendon North?
- In a tight-stock suburb, buying first is sometimes the only way to secure the right home. Bridging finance makes it possible without a fire-sale of your current property — we model the bridge, the end debt and the worst-case timeline so you decide with numbers, not nerves.
- Are townhouses in Essendon North easy to finance?
- Generally yes — modern strata townhouses are mainstream lending. Small-development purchases off the plan need more care on valuation timing and settlement risk; we manage both.
- Does it cost anything to use IFG as my broker?
- In almost all cases, no — we're paid by the lender on settlement, disclosed in writing upfront. Under the Best Interests Duty our recommendation must be what's right for you, and as a boutique firm our business depends on it being so.
- Who will handle my application?
- A director — Brian Hermosilla or Frank Marin — personally, from first conversation to settlement and beyond. No call centres, no handoffs; that's the point of a boutique firm.
