We do the hard work.
We consider a range of options for you. Using our understanding and knowledge of the current market, we look at different loans and quickly narrow it down to the ones that suit your specific needs. Then we choose together.
And we help with the whole process.
We don’t stop at just finding the finance. We’ll help complete the paperwork, manage the application process and follow it through to approval. Leaving you time to get excited about your new home.
Becoming a first home buyer
Buying your first home is an exciting, but big step to take and one that comes with many questions and decisions. The first big question is how much you can borrow and what your likely repayments will be.
That’s where we can help, we’ll do the legwork for you. We can compare home loans across a variety of products available from Australia’s leading lending institutions.
And because you’re a first home buyer, you may be eligible for a first home buyer grant. This grant may be available to Australian citizens or permanent residents who wish to buy or build their first home, which will be their principal place of residence within 12 months of settlement. As grant conditions vary from state to state, contact us to find out more about eligibility requirements in your state and how much grant money you could receive.
We will also liaise with the lender. It’s our job to do the hard work and you can focus on finding the right home for you. We’ll be there every step of the way to guide you through the entire home loan process – from application to approval.
Refinancing your home loan
But where to start? We can help you weigh it all up. As time marches on, situations change. Perhaps you’ve changed jobs? Or there’s a new addition to the family? Maybe you would just like a better rate? Maybe it’s the advent of school fees, or perhaps the kids have flown the coop? Or maybe that leaking shower or tired kitchen has just reached the end of its life.
A shift in circumstances may mean it is time to revisit your home finances. For many, the idea of refinancing a mortgage can be daunting. Fees and fixed versus variable interest rates need to be considered.
The right refinanced loan might help you to pay off your mortgage faster and for less, clear unhealthy debt or upgrade and add value your home, all of which are steps in the right direction.
Investing in properties
Research and having the right people to help you are the keys when investing in property. It definitely pays to do your homework on the property market before you dive in, and we’re thrilled to be on board to help you when it comes to financing your decision. Recent share market slides, tight rental markets in most capital cities and a whiff of increase in property prices are seeing many mum and dad investors retreat to bricks and mortar.
Generally, property in Australia is still considered to be a sound investment due to steady and consistent increases over time.
But it’s not a quick win. Property usually has a seven to ten year cycle, with highs, lows and steady stints in between.
Fortunately, an ongoing housing shortage in Australia and a tax system that allows negative gearing on property (where any investment losses can be claimed as tax deductions) continue to favour housing as a solid, long-term investment.
But credit has tightened in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis so lenders are more cautious about who borrows and for what. We are here to help find the right lender and loan for your circumstances in this new environment. We can also wade through the many investment loan options on offer, leaving you more time to find the ideal property.
A new home or a new loan. Which is easier to find?
When you’re looking for a new home you probably have a good idea of what you’re looking for – what it looks like, what size it is, even where it’s located, maybe even right down to the street. But when it comes to a loan, where do you start? There are hundreds of loans from a huge choice of lenders. And there are new products coming into the market all the time.
As a broker, our job is to help you find one loan out of the hundreds available that suits your individual needs. What’s more, we’ll help manage the whole process for you. We’ll assist you with the paperwork, and manage the application process right through to approval.
