We have extensive experience in all things lending, including:

• FIRST HOME BUYERS A home buyer can obtain financing (a loan) from a financial institution to purchase a property by using a mortgage broker. First home buyers may enjoy a grant from the government to assist with their first home purchase and we can also help to ensure you receive any entitlements. The features of your loan – such as the size of the loan, maturity of the loan, interest rate, method of paying off the loan and other characteristics, can vary considerably. When you’re a first home buyer, it’s always best to speak with a mortgage broking professional to determine the loan that is right for you and help you to understand everything you should know about the home buying process.

• STANDARD VARIABLE & FIXED RATE LOANS: Variable rate loans generally offer more features and flexibility than other home loan products, particularly the basic or “no frills” loan. With a variable rate loan, the rate can change at any time and lenders usually raise or lower their variable interest rates in line with the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision on the official cash rate. Fixed rate loans are set at a fixed interest rate for a specified period – usually one to five years. Fixed rate loans give you the advantage of knowing exactly what your repayments will be for the fixed rate term, but this is offset by the disadvantage of not benefiting from any drop in rates that may occur during your fixed rate period.

• HONEYMOON LOANS: A loan with lower repayments for the first six to twelve months is often called a Honeymoon Loan. After the honeymoon period, the loan becomes a standard variable rate loan and the repayments usually increase. If you are planning to take advantage of a honeymoon rate, you will need to make sure that you can meet the higher repayments for the remainder of the loan once the honeymoon period is over. You could also be faced with a fee at the end of the honeymoon period to switch to another loan option.

• BRIDGING LOANS: A bridging loan is often used by home owners who are moving on to their next home. A bridging loan is usually a short-term loan that is used when it is necessary to cover the gap between buying your next property before the existing one is sold. This finance is generally secured against your property and allows you to utilise the equity in your existing property. Bridging loans usually carry a much higher interest rate than other types of loans, so if you believe you may need financing for a longer period, talk to us about your other options.
