Home Loans

Buy your First Home, Next Home or Dream Home sooner with a Home Loan

When it comes to getting a Home Loan, having a number of lending options is critical to making the best choice. We have access to thousands of products from lenders across Australia including the major banks, credit unions, and building societies. We support our clients throughout the buying process including doing the legwork for you right through to settlement. We'll make sure you always get the competitive interest rate on your Home Loan and can even compare cash-back offers for you.

When looking at different Home Loan Options, it's important to understand some of the key loan attributes:

• Principal and Interest: This is the most common type of Home Loan. With a principal and interest Home Loan, you not only pay the interest on the borrowed money but also a portion of the actual loan amount. It means you're slowly paying off the loan while also covering the interest.

• Interest Only: With an interest-only Home Loan, you only pay the interest on the borrowed amount for a certain period, usually around 5 years. This can make your initial repayments lower, but keep in mind that you'll still need to pay back the full amount later on.

• Variable Rate: On the other hand, a variable rate Home Loan means the interest rate can change over time due to various factors like changes in the economy. While it might offer flexibility and potentially lower interest rates, it could also mean that your repayments may vary.

• Fixed Rate: A fixed-rate Home Loan means the interest rate stays the same for a set period, often 1 to 5 years. It provides stability and predictability because your repayments won't change during this time, making it easier to budget.

The Mortgage Finance & Mortgage Broker Process Made Easy

1. Understanding Your Needs

Your mortgage journey begins with a detailed consultation with your Finance & Mortgage Broker. Your broker will listen to your property goals, whether you’re buying a home, investing in real estate, or seeking a commercial loan. They will assess your financial situation, considering factors like income, savings, liabilities, and credit history, to provide tailored advice on loan options available to you.

2. Financial Positioning

Your broker will request relevant documentation such as bank statements, recent tax returns, and evidence of assets and liabilities to determine your borrowing capacity. They will calculate how much you can afford to borrow, considering important factors like LVR, potential LMI, and interest rates. Your broker will also advise you on how to improve your financial standing if necessary, ensuring you are in the best position to apply for a loan.

3. Comparing Loan Options

Once your financial situation is fully assessed, your broker will begin comparing loan products from a range of lenders across Australia. They will help you weigh the benefits of fixed interest rate loans versus variable interest rate loans, as well as exploring options for offset accounts and interest rate discounts. They will also explain important terms like loan features, fees, and other considerations like the potential for future rate changes or LVR adjustments.

4. Pre-Approval Process

Pre-approval is a crucial step in the property buying process. With pre-approval, you’ll have a clear idea of the loan amount you can borrow, which strengthens your position in the local property market. Your broker will help you gather the necessary documents and submit them to the lender for pre-approval, ensuring the process is as quick and straightforward as possible.

5. Submitting the Loan Application

Once pre-approval is in hand, your broker will help you complete the loan application. They will guide you through submitting all necessary paperwork to the lender, including documents like bank statements, proof of income, and details of existing liabilities. Your broker will communicate directly with the lender to ensure the application is processed quickly, ensuring no delays in getting you the loan you need.

6. Loan Approval & Settlement

After your loan is approved, your broker will review the final loan offer with you and help arrange any necessary insurance, such as mortgage protection insurance. They will also work with you to ensure you understand the terms of the loan and guide you through the settlement process. Your broker will remain available to help you navigate any final hurdles before you complete the purchase of your property.

Step 7: Ongoing Support

Once your loan is settled, your Finance & Mortgage Broker remains available for ongoing support. This may include advising on managing your loan repayments, exploring the possibility of refinancing, or helping you tap into your equity for future property purchases or any other requirements. Your broker’s role doesn’t end at settlement—they’ll be there to guide you through the entirety of your property ownership journey.
