Frequently Asked Questions
What does a finance / mortgage broker do?
A mortgage broker will serve as a mediator or point of contact between you and the lender.
They provide advice in regard to the best lender to service your needs. This advice relates to a wide variety of transactions, including purchasing a home, investment property, business or vehicle.
Isn't it just easier for me to go to my bank directly?
A mortgage broker can assist in evaluating all banks to the market, whilst a Bank is restricted solely one product suite.
A common misconception is that a client bank will give them the best deal, which unfortunately is not always true. Mortgage broker works for you, not the bank, which means that we can ensure that you are getting the best offer by investigating a wide range of lenders.
How many lenders do you deal with?
We work closely with 45 lenders
How much money can I borrow?
Your borrowing capacity is the term used to describe the maximum amount you can borrow. The amount you can borrow can vary depending on the lender and your circumstances.
What other costs are involved?
Additional costs and fees could consist of, but are not be limited to:
- Building and pest inspections
- Valuation costs
- Lender's mortgage insurance (LMI)
- Solicitor expenses
- Insurance premiums
- Stamp Duty
What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance?
Lenders Mortgage Insurance is an insurance premium that allows you to buy a house with a smaller deposit. This premium is paid upfront when your loan settles.
What will my repayments be?
You can see how much your approximate home loan repayment will be here with our mortgage calculators.
Why can't you tell us what the best deal in the market is anymore?
We commonly receive requests from people who would like to know the lender and the interest rate. Under the new legislation this is simply no longer possible for us to do our job properly without knowing a customer full situation and seeing their supporting documents.
This is firstly because it is against the NCCP Act for us to recommend a product without making enquiries and verifying your information, but secondly because we can't provide accurate advice without this information. There are hundreds of different credit policies which can affect the outcome.
Applying for a home loan is a complicated process and if we do not complete a preliminary assessment correctly then we risk having a loan declined or missing out on the most affordable loan product.
What do I do if I want to make a complaint?
In the rare instance a complaint occurs. Please ask the customer to forward their written complaint to:
The Director

1/9-13 Bronte Road
Bondi Junction NSW 2022
