Frequently Asked Questions

How much deposit do I need to purchase a property?

Typically lenders ask for 20% of the total house price before they’ll consider giving you a loan but there are a number of ways around this. Some lenders will accept a smaller deposit but it’s likely that you’ll need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).  There might also be grants that you can take advantage of. Get in touch to chat about your options.

Can you help me understand my borrowing capacity?

Of course! Borrowing capacity refers to how much you can borrow from a lender. As your borrowing capacity can differ widely from Lender to lender, get in touch today and we can help you understand your maximum borrowing power from the 30 plus lenders we have access to.

How will you decide which loan is best suited to my circumstances?

With more than 30 home lenders on our panel, you and I are spoiled for choice. We narrow the search down by first understanding your needs and objectives. We will show you the features of each loan and explain the benefits, allowing you to make an informed choice which lender and loan you would like to apply for.

Does it cost to use a broker?

You do not pay a fee for our services. Instead, we’re paid a commission by the lender you choose for doing the work on their behalf and looking after your home loan needs ongoing. Learn more here and get in touch if you have any questions. 

What fees should I be aware of when purchasing a property?

There are several fees that often aren’t discussed in length when buying a property. These include stamp duty, application fees, pest and building inspections and more. Get in touch with a broker today for an up-front conversation about all the hidden fees. Find a summary here. 

What grants are available to me?

There are many grants that are available for those wanting a home loan and the options differ from state to state. To find out what grants you are eligible for, get in touch with our Home Finance Managers to help you understand what grants you could be eligible for.

How much does it cost to refinance?

Some of the costs you’d expect to pay include discharge, application and settlement fees and we work with you ensure that the savings outweigh the costs when refinancing from one lender to another. To find out how much you can save by refinancing your loan, give us a call. 

What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?

LMI is required if you need to borrow more than 80% of the value of the property you are purchasing. You pay a premium which can be funded in the home loan and it protects your lender if you can’t pay your loan and the home needs to sold.
