Who is Newcastle Permanent Building Society?
The Newcastle Permanent Building Society originated in Wickham, a suburb of Newcastle over 100 years ago. It was founded with a cooperative of the Starr-Bowkett Society and designed to provide security for home owners in the Newcastle Region. The society helped to grow the Newcastle region as many of the initial loans were given to borrowers interest free. This promoted growth in the area and allowed the society to grow.
By the turn of the century The Newcastle Permanent Building Society had over 50 offices and branches in New South Wales. These range from the Mid North Coast to the Northern Rivers, the Central Coast and throughout the Hunter Valley.
The Newcastle Permanent Building Society lay claim to being the financially strongest building society in Australia, and pride themselves on the work they do through charity.

I wish to purchase a property at Batlow NSW the question I have is with $50,000 cash and the property being 130,000 will you lend a 60 year old person on the DSP pension money for a home loan.
Hi Josephine,
Thanks for your question.
These types of applications are usually handled on a case by case basis. Newcastle Permanent will have a look at how much you receive from DSP pension and how permanent the payment is. I’d recommend that you get in touch with them directly to discuss your options and eligibility.
Cheers,

Hi Tamar,
thanks for the question.
Unfortunately I’m not able to recommend specific loan products. I’d recommend reading our refinancing guide to learn more about how to compare loans when refinancing so you can decide on a good home loan.
I hope this helps,
Marc.
