The Paddington market, from a lending angle

Paddington is terrace country. Rows of Victorian terraces line the streets off Oxford Street and down towards Five Ways, most of them two or three bedrooms on narrow blocks. Around 230 houses sold here in the past year, far more than units.

Heritage homes bring their own lending questions. Much of Paddington is a heritage conservation area, so renovations need council approval and can cost more than expected, which matters if you’re borrowing for the work. Valuations on older homes can vary, and buyers here are often professionals stretching into their first house in the inner east.

Indicative medians as at October 2025 and October 2026, rounded from public market data. Each covers all bedroom counts across the 12 months of sales to that date. In the year to October 2026 that was 230 houses (mostly 2 and 3 bedroom) and 89 units (mostly 1 and 2 bedroom). Changes are approximate. Not a valuation. For current numbers on a specific property or street, just ask.

Paddington questions, answered

Can we meet in person in Paddington?

Yes. I’m based in Ramsgate, so I can meet you in Paddington, come to your place, or we can do it by phone or video.

Can I borrow to renovate a heritage terrace?

Yes. Smaller jobs can be funded through equity release, and bigger ones through a construction loan that pays the builder in stages. Heritage approvals take time, so it’s worth building that into the plan before you commit.

Does no off-street parking affect the loan?

Not usually on its own. Lenders mostly care about the valuation, and the valuer will compare your terrace with similar ones nearby. It’s more of a resale and lifestyle question than a lending one.
