About Sydney Estate

Sydney Estate is a property research site built for Sydney buyers, investors, and homeowners, produced by the Arrivau team. We publish clear, data-backed guides on buying, investing, financing, and navigating NSW property law, and provide information and tools to help you work out your next step.

Sydney Estate itself is not a mortgage broker or lender and does not give credit advice. If you choose to leave your contact details on this site, they are passed to Arrivau, our partner licensed home loan broker, so they can follow up with you. Chat conversations on the site are saved so we can provide the service. See our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer for details.

Our Standards

Transparency: Sydney Estate is produced by the Arrivau team, and any referral, sponsored or affiliate arrangements are clearly labelled. Guides are written on the merits of the facts and data.
Accuracy: All figures (prices, rates, stamp duty, LMI thresholds) are sourced from CoreLogic, RBA, NSW Revenue, NHFIC, and official lender rate sheets — with the data date noted in every article.
Currency: The Sydney property market moves fast. We update guides whenever the RBA changes rates, NSW updates thresholds, or major policy changes hit.
