What is the role of a broker?
A broker is a finance expert who collaborates with you individually to explore your borrowing objectives and assess how much you can potentially secure. They generally offer a more tailored level of service compared to lenders and have access to a range of loans from different providers, allowing them to locate the most suitable loan conditions for your specific circumstances.
Are there fees for home or investment loans?
When you obtain a loan through a broker, there are no additional repayments or fees involved. A broker receives their commission from the lender for bringing in new business, but this does not influence your interest rate or any other terms of the loan agreement.
Is using a broker more costly?
Engaging a broker comes at no cost to you, as the lender compensates your broker. With access to a wide range of loan products from numerous lenders, brokers will identify the most suitable loan for your specific needs. Typically, this involves securing the best rate available at the time along with features that best meet your requirements.
Some brokers may charge service fees, which will be disclosed prior to providing any services.
What is the maximum amount I can borrow?
While our borrowing calculator can provide a reasonable estimate of how much you might be able to borrow, for a more accurate evaluation, please contact our team. We can discuss your options and evaluate your circumstances in more detail.
Should I choose a fixed or variable rate?
As the name suggests, variable-rate home loans have interest rates that fluctuate over time. They often offer greater flexibility compared to other loan types, featuring options like redraw facilities and the ability to make extra payments. However, the repayment amounts are not fixed.
Conversely, fixed-rate home loans provide predictable monthly repayments – you will know precisely how much is due each month for the entire loan term. While these loans may lack some flexibility in features, they offer borrowers certainty when planning their budget.
When deciding which loan type suits you best, it’s important to consider what matters most to you – whether it’s flexibility or certainty regarding your monthly repayments.
