What is the role of a broker?
A broker is a finance expert who collaborates with you directly to explore your borrowing objectives and assess how much you can qualify for. They generally offer a more personalised service compared to a lender and have access to various loans from multiple lenders, enabling them to find the most suitable loan conditions for your specific needs.
Are there fees for home or investment loans?
When you secure a loan through a broker, there are no additional repayments or fees involved. Brokers receive a commission from the lender for bringing in business, but this does not impact your interest rate or any other terms of the loan agreement.
Is it more costly to engage a broker?
Utilising a broker incurs no cost for you as the lender compensates the broker. With access to numerous loan products from multiple lenders, brokers can identify the most suitable loan for your needs and situation. Typically, this involves a blend of the most competitive interest rates available and features that align well with your requirements.
Some brokers may impose service fees, which should be clearly stated before they commence their services.
How much can I borrow?
While our borrowing calculator can provide a rough estimate of your potential borrowing capacity, for a more accurate evaluation, please reach out to our team. We can discuss your options and explore your unique circumstances in greater detail.
Should I choose a fixed or variable rate?
As the name implies, variable-rate home loans feature interest rates that fluctuate over time. They often offer more flexibility compared to other loan types, with features such as redraw facilities and options for additional payments. However, they lack fixed repayment amounts.
In contrast, fixed-rate home loans provide predictable monthly payments, allowing you to know exactly how much you will owe each month for the entire loan term. While these loans may not offer the same level of flexibility in features, they provide borrowers with certainty when it comes to budgeting their repayments.
When deciding which loan type suits you best, consider what matters most to you—whether it’s flexibility or certainty regarding your monthly payments.
