FAQ
What does a broker do?
A broker acts as a middle person between you and lenders, helping you find the most suitable loan based on your needs and financial situation. Instead of going directly to one bank, a broker compares multiple lenders to secure competitive rates, better loan structures, and flexible terms. They manage the entire application process — from paperwork to approval — and provide expert guidance every step of the way.
Do you charge fees for home or other loans?
There are no extra loan repayments or fees when you take out a loan through a broker. A broker is simply paid commission by the lender for introducing new business, but this doesn’t affect your interest rate or other aspects of the loan agreement.
Is it more expensive to use a broker?
Using a broker is free for you because the lender pays your broker. With access to hundreds of loan products from various lenders, brokers will find the ideal loan for you and your circumstances. In most instances, this is a combination of the lowest available rate at the time and product features that are most convenient for you.
Some brokers charge service fees, which must be disclosed before they provide their services.

How much can I borrow?
While our borrowing calculator can give you a decent idea of how much money you may be able to take out, each lender has their own requirement, for a more precise assessment, please get in touch with our team. We can then go through your options with you and chat about your circumstances in further detail.
Should I go for a fixed or variable rate?
Just as the name suggests, variable-rate home loans have interest rates that change over time. They are often more flexible than other types of loans, with features like redraw facility and extra payment options. However, they do not have fixed repayment amounts.
On the other hand, fixed-rate home loans come with predictable monthly repayments – you will know exactly how much you need to pay each month for the entire duration of the loan term. These kinds of loans might not be as flexible in terms of features but offer borrowers peace of mind when budgeting repayments.
In choosing which type of loan is right for you, it’s good to weigh up what’s most important to you – whether that’s flexibility or certainty around your monthly repayments.
