About Ian Chan

Ian Chan is a Mortgage Broker and Principal Advisor at Unity Mortgages, specialising in helping clients in Leppington, Austral, Denham Court, and across Greater Sydney achieve their property and financial goals. With over 10 years of experience in the financial industry, including roles as a lender at St. George Bank, Commonwealth Bank, Citibank, and ANZ, Ian brings deep knowledge of how banks assess applications, structure deals, and respond to complex borrower situations.

Whether you're a first home buyer navigating the market for the very first time, a homeowner looking to refinance into a sharper rate, or a property investor ready to grow your portfolio, Ian works with a network of 50+ banks and lenders to find tailored loan solutions that fit your specific circumstances.

For first home buyers, Ian understands how overwhelming the process can feel. He guides clients through everything from understanding their borrowing capacity and applying for the First Home Owner Grant, to comparing loan products and getting pre-approval so they can make confident offers on the right home.

For homeowners looking to refinance, Ian regularly helps clients who suspect they're paying too much on their current loan. He compares options across dozens of lenders, assesses cashback offers, and factors in fees to ensure a refinance actually puts clients in a better position rather than just a lower headline rate.

For property investors, Ian takes a strategic approach. He works with clients on structuring Investment Loans that support long-term portfolio growth, considering factors like interest-only periods, offset accounts, and equity release from existing properties to fund the next purchase.

Ian also specialises in Construction and Renovation Loans for clients building a new home or undertaking significant works, coordinating progress payments with builders and helping clients understand how drawdown structures work in practice. For those buying a new property before selling their existing one, Ian arranges Bridging Finance to help clients move seamlessly without the pressure of having to sell first. He also assists business owners with Commercial Loans and Equipment Finance, drawing on his broad lender relationships to secure competitive terms.

Ian's philosophy is straightforward: make the process simple, transparent, and stress-free. He believes every client deserves to feel informed and empowered at every stage, not just at the point of signing. He offers flexible options to connect online or in person, working around your schedule to keep things moving.

If you're looking for a trusted, experienced mortgage broker in Leppington and across Sydney, Ian Chan at Unity Mortgages is here to guide you every step of the way.

I was referred to Ian Chan to help me get a home loan and I thank my lucky stars that it was Ian. From the get-go, he was very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. He made the entire process stress-free and seamless and answered any questions I’ve had. He also takes care of his clients and makes sure they get the best option which suits them. I can’t recommend him more, Ian is the best!

Unbelievably comprehensive and well spoken. Knowledgable, and willing to go above and beyond!

Danielle Morris

We had an excellent experience working with Ian on our refinance. We initially contacted him while he was overseas on holiday and, despite that, he came back to us promptly, talked us through our options and had our application approved in under 24 hours with a very competitive rate. We were moving because HSBC is exiting the Australian market, so it wasn’t just a matter of finding another home loan. Ian was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the broader picture and making sure we had a comprehensive banking plan that suited how we actually manage our money, including our offset structure and overall transition. He was responsive, practical, easy to deal with and made what could have been a stressful process feel very straightforward. We really appreciated his support and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.
