We’ve been speaking with a lot of people who are wondering whether to fix their interest rate.

The short answer is: it depends.

A fixed rate can give you certainty and predictable repayments - but it may come with trade offs.

Before you lock it in, understand what you’re paying for and whether it suits your plans.

Certainty or flexibility? The right choice depends on your situation.

Buying your first home isn’t about luck or timing. It’s about understanding how lenders think and making sure you're prepared before you apply.

We help first time home buyers build a complete picture – not just a deposit.

If you've got a mortgage, there's every chance you've been closely tracking interest rates. After all, each change has the potential to seriously impact your back pocket.

And by knowing what's on offer in the market, you're in a better position to negotiate with your lender to secure a more competitive rate.

Of course, if you're a client of ours we can do this for you.

Reach out for help securing that better deal today.

Good question!

It may well seem like that. Perhaps you've applied for a home loan and you've been rejected. Or you've plugged your details into a home loan calculator and your borrowing power is much less than you were hoping for.

The home loan market is certainly stringent, with lenders wanting to be absolutely sure they'll be paid back, and of course that they don't fall foul with the regulator.

So what can you do about it? How can you get approved for a home loan?

First, you need to get your finances in order and make sure that when it comes time to applying you're giving the best impression.

Second, you want to make sure you only apply with a lender that you've got a high chance of being approved with.

Lenders don't advertise exactly how they assess a home loan application, which makes using a broker (us!) all the more useful.

Get in touch to find out which lenders you'd have the best shot with, based on your unique needs and situation.

Absolutely fantastic! George made the whole process so easy and stress-free. Always helpful, responsive and happy to answer my many questions. An absolute legend and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

My only complaint is that he goes for the Broncos, but nobody’s perfect. 😂

Here's bit of a rundown on how the banks assess whether it makes sense to lend you money for your property purchase...also known as 'The 5 Cs of credit'

Character: Refers to your reputation for paying debts on time and your willingness to repay the loan.

Capacity: Is your ability to repay the loan, based on your income and existing debts.

Capital: Means your net worth and the value of assets you can offer as collateral.

Collateral: Refers to the property you're purchasing or using as security for the loan.

Conditions: Are the overall economic conditions and how they may affect your ability to repay the loan.
