Do you charge fees for home or investment loans?

When you secure a loan through a broker, you won’t face any additional loan repayments or charges. The broker earns a commission from the lender for bringing in new customers, but this has no impact on your interest rate or any other terms of your loan agreement.

Is it more expensive to use a broker?

You won’t have to pay for the services of a broker as they receive their compensation from the lender. Brokers have a vast selection of loan options from numerous lenders at their disposal, ensuring they can locate the perfect loan that fits your specific needs. They typically aim to secure the lowest rate possible while also considering the loan features that best suit your situation.

However, be aware that some brokers might charge a service fee, but they are required to inform you of any such fees upfront before they begin providing their services.

How much can I borrow?

Although our borrowing calculator offers a good estimate of the amount you could potentially borrow, for a more accurate evaluation, we encourage you to contact our team. We’ll discuss your specific situation in greater detail and explore the various options available to you.

Should I go for a fixed or variable rate?

Variable-rate home loans are exactly what they sound like – their interest rates can go up or down over time. This type of loan usually offers more flexibility, including the ability to make extra payments or access a redraw facility, but it means your repayment amounts can vary.

Conversely, fixed-rate home loans lock in your monthly payments, so you’ll always know precisely what you’re paying each month for the life of the loan. They tend not to offer as many features but provide stability for your budgeting.

Deciding between the two comes down to what you value more: the flexibility to adapt your loan to changing circumstances or the security of knowing your repayments will stay the same.

Which lenders do you work with?

Thanks to our partnership with a mortgage aggregator, we have access to a diverse range of loan options from over 40 lenders. This extensive network enables us to present you with a variety of suitable choices tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.
