FAQ

Why use a mortgage broker?

The mortgage brokers provide their services free of cost to the customer. They deal with different lenders and can provide the options most suited to your circumstances. They access your needs and identify your loan requirements accordingly. Using a mortgage broker gives you more options – they look at multiple lenders, not just banks, to find the loan which is right for you.

How do I apply for a loan?

We will complete all the mortgage applications for you to ensure your home loan application has the optimum chance of success. Our custom mortgage broking software compares all mortgage rates so we can deliver you the best value home loan for your situation.

What is your best interest rate?

In most cases, it is seen that people like to fix the interest rate on their loan for certain period like 1 to 2 years or more, so it gives more certainty to their household budget, but in some situations, it may be more advisable to have the loan on floating interest rates or a combination of both. It all depends on your situation, the analysis of which we can help with. In New Zealand, currently the banks are offering the historical lowest ever interest rates, ever seen in this country.

What documentation is required to get a mortgage?

Most of the banks require documents to prove your income and your deposit that you propose to contribute, together with your bank statements to verify your personal expenses pattern and your account conduct. The banks also require knowing of your current assets and liabilities. They usually require your residency status proof to process the application.

How long does it take to get a Mortgage?

Most of the banks require 5 to 10 working days to access the application. In some cases, it may vary depending on the urgency of the application.
