Why Use a Broker for Your Home Loan?

When you go directly to your bank, they assess your application against their own products and policies. If you don't fit, you're declined, or worse, approved for something that doesn't work for you long-term.

As an MFAA accredited broker with access to over 50 lenders, including the major banks, second-tier lenders, and specialist lenders, we can find you a loan that actually fits: the right LVR, the right features, the right rate, and the right lender policy for your income type.

And because we're paid by the lender after settlement, our service costs you nothing. Under the Best Interests Duty, we are legally required to recommend the loan that's best for you, not the one that pays us the most commission.

What We Compare

A great home loan isn't just the lowest rate. We compare:

✓ Interest rate, variable, fixed, split
✓ Comparison rate, true cost incl. fees
✓ Offset account availability
✓ Redraw facility and conditions
✓ Extra repayment limits and break costs
✓ Annual fees, application fees, ongoing charges
✓ Lender serviceability calculations
✓ Policy flexibility for future plans

Loan Types We Arrange

Variable Rate Loans

Rate moves with the market. Usually offers offset accounts, redraw, and unlimited extra repayments. Best for borrowers who want flexibility.

Fixed Rate Loans

Rate locked for 1–5 years. Certainty on repayments regardless of RBA changes. Best when rates are expected to rise.

Split Loans

Part fixed, part variable. Get certainty on a portion while keeping flexibility on the rest. Most popular choice for owner-occupiers.

Who We Help

Every borrower is different. We specialise in finding the right loan for:

First Home Buyers → Refinancers → Property Investors → Self-Employed → Building / Construction → Medical Professionals →

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a mortgage broker cost?

Nothing. Our service is completely free to you. Mortgage brokers are paid a commission by the lender after your loan settles, typically around 0.6% of the loan value upfront plus an ongoing trailing commission. Under the Best Interests Duty, we must recommend the loan that's best for you regardless of commission.

How long does it take to get approved?

Pre-approval typically takes 1–3 business days once documents are submitted. Full (unconditional) approval can take 5–10 business days depending on the lender and complexity. We manage the entire process and chase lenders to keep things on track.

What documents do I need for a home loan?

For PAYG employees: 2 recent payslips, latest tax return and Notice of Assessment, 3 months of bank statements, proof of ID. For self-employed borrowers: 2 years of tax returns and financials (or 1 year for alt-doc loans). We'll guide you through exactly what's needed for your situation.

Can I get a home loan with a small deposit?

Yes. You can buy with as little as 5% deposit, though you'll pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if you borrow more than 80% LVR. Medical professionals, lawyers, accountants and some executives can get LMI waived at up to 90–95% LVR through specialist professional packages. First home buyers may qualify for government schemes like the First Home Guarantee.

How many lenders do you compare?

Over 50 lenders, including all four major banks (CBA, Westpac, NAB, and other major banks), second-tier lenders (Macquarie, ING, Bankwest, Bank of Queensland), and specialist/non-bank lenders (Pepper, Liberty, La Trobe, Firstmac, and many more). This gives you access to hundreds of loan products.

Sydney Home Loans, Common Questions

How much can I borrow for a home loan in Sydney?
As a general guide, lenders will lend around 5 to 6 times your gross household income, adjusted for your expenses, debts and the serviceability buffer each lender applies. The same borrower can get noticeably different answers from different lenders, which is why we run your numbers across the panel rather than through one bank. Use our borrowing power calculator for an estimate or book a free assessment.
Should I choose a fixed or variable home loan rate?
It depends on whether you value repayment certainty or flexibility. Fixed rates lock your repayments but usually restrict extra repayments and offset use; variable rates move with the market but keep full flexibility. Many of our clients split the loan to get some of both. We model each option against your plans before recommending anything.
How long does a home loan pre-approval last?
Typically 90 days, and most lenders will refresh it if your circumstances have not changed. Pre-approval is not a guarantee of final approval; the lender still needs to value the specific property you buy and reconfirm your position. We keep your pre-approval current while you search so you can bid with confidence.
Is an offset account worth having on a home loan?
Generally yes if you hold consistent savings, since every dollar in the offset reduces the loan balance you are charged interest on. The catch is that offset loans often carry an annual package fee, so the benefit depends on your average balance. We compare loans with and without offset to see which genuinely costs you less.
How long does refinancing take?

Most refinances settle within two to four weeks from application. Fast-track digital discharges can be quicker; a slow discharging lender is the most common delay. John manages the whole process, including chasing your current bank.

Can I refinance with the same bank?

You can ask your bank to reprice your rate, and it is a sensible first step. The catch is the bank only needs to beat your current rate, not the market. A broker gets you both: we request a reprice and compare it against 50+ lenders, so you keep the stronger offer.

Is it worth refinancing for a 0.25% rate cut?

Often, yes, on larger balances. A 0.25% cut on a $600,000 loan saves about $91 a month, roughly $1,095 a year, which typically repays switching costs inside a year. Below that, the case depends on your balance, remaining term and fees; John runs the break-even numbers for you for free.
