How we can help: lending advice for every stage of life​

Buying a home

Whether you’re buying your first home or upgrading to your next one, we help you understand how your loan fits into the bigger picture. That includes talking through deposit requirements, borrowing limits and ongoing costs, as well as how selling an existing property, using equity or managing timing between purchases can affect your loan.

If you’re a first home buyer, we help you unlock grants and concessions. The aim is to give you clarity around what’s affordable, how repayments will work, and how to move forward with confidence at this next stage of home ownership.

Investing

Investing in property involves more than securing a loan, and we help you understand how your lending choices affect your broader financial position – looking at borrowing capacity, cash flow, loan structure, how interest-only repayments or offset accounts may be used in an investment context.

We also help you understand the potential costs, risks and ongoing commitments involved, so you can assess whether a property investment fits your goals and circumstances.

Refinancing

Refinancing isn’t just about finding a lower interest rate. We help you review whether refinancing makes sense based on your current loan, your financial position and what you’re trying to achieve next.

That includes looking at how your loan is structured, whether it still suits your cash flow, and if features like offset accounts, redraw or repayment flexibility could work harder for you.

We also help you understand the potential costs involved, such as break fees, discharge fees and lender charges, so there are no surprises. The goal is to help you decide whether refinancing will genuinely improve your position, not just now, but over the life of the loan.

Buying off the plan

If you’re think of buying off the plan, it is important to know that it comes with a longer timeline and a few extra moving parts, and we help you understand how these affect your loan before you commit.

That includes talking through deposit requirements, how finance approval works when settlement may be months or years away, and the risk that valuations or lending criteria could change before completion.

We help you plan for these uncertainties, understand when you may need to reapply for finance, and make sure your loan structure still makes sense when settlement finally occurs. The aim is to help you go in with clear expectations and a plan that supports you from contract to completion.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow?

It depends on your income, expenses, debts, and deposit. We can run the numbers and show you a borrowing range that feels comfortable (not stretched).

As a guide, a bigger deposit can reduce costs like LMI — but there are options even if you’re not at 20% yet. We’ll talk you through what’s realistic for you.

Common costs include stamp duty, conveyancing/legal fees, inspections (building/pest), lender fees, moving costs, insurance, and potentially LMI (depending on your deposit).

Fixed can offer repayment certainty for a period. Variable can offer flexibility (like extra repayments/redraw, depending on the loan). Some buyers choose a split loan for balance.

Most lenders allow flexible repayment schedules. We’ll help you match repayments to your pay cycle and cash flow.
