What we do

Loan strategy, not just loan products.

A mortgage is the largest financial commitment most people will ever make. We treat it that way — starting with your goals, your cash-flow reality, and how this loan needs to behave over the next five to ten years.

  • Owner-occupied home loans — principal & interest, fixed, variable or split.
  • Refinancing — reviewing rate, structure, offset and break costs.
  • Investment property finance — structuring single properties or growing portfolios.
  • Self-employed lending — full-doc and alt-doc options for variable income.
  • Construction & renovation loans — progress-payment lending for new builds and major works.
  • Personal, vehicle & asset finance — for cars, equipment and other major purchases.

FAQs

Mortgage broking FAQs

How is a broker paid?

Most home loan applications are paid for by the lender at settlement via a commission, which is fully disclosed in your Credit Quote and Credit Proposal before you sign anything. Some specialist or commercial scenarios may attract a fee — we always confirm cost up front.

Will using a broker affect my credit score?

We can do an indicative serviceability assessment and discuss options with you before any credit checks are made. A formal application does involve a credit enquiry, so we’re careful to only apply once we’ve agreed on a lender that genuinely fits.

How long does a home loan application take?

Pre-approvals typically take a few business days; full approval and settlement timelines depend on the lender, valuation and the contract. We give you a realistic estimate up front and update you as things move.

Can you help if I’ve been declined elsewhere?

Often, yes. A decline at one lender doesn’t mean you’re out of options — different lenders weigh income, employment, credit history and property type very differently. We’ll review what happened and look at lenders likely to take a different view.
