I am a Loan Market Mortgage Adviser servicing Kingsland, Western Springs, Mt Albert and surrounding suburbs.

With well over 30 years in the banking and finance sector, you can be confident that you will receive the right advice and service for your home loan. Most clients I meet really want a guiding hand and expert help with their finances. They want to know what the pitfalls are with negotiating on a property or attending an auction. They want to be advised on how to structure their loans to suit their unique situation and obtain a competitive package from a lender who appreciates their business. Once they are on the ladder they want help to pay off their loans faster and also ongoing advice to address their personal Insurance needs.

Buyers across New Zealand are holding a clear upper hand this spring, according to the latest market data from Cotality.

With more than 28,500 active listings nationwide, house hunters have plenty of room to take their time, weigh their options, and negotiate on price.

At the same time, national property values dipped just 1.3% over the past year, showing that sellers are holding steady rather than dropping prices in a panic.

Navigating a market like this comes down to strategy. Getting your pre-approval sorted and lining up your due diligence early gives you the leverage to make a competitive offer on your terms.

If you want to map out your buying strategy for the months ahead, reach out to get your loan application started.

The Reserve Bank has kept the Official Cash Rate on hold at 2.75% this afternoon.

After a series of rate shifts, a hold brings a period of stability, but it affects everyone in the property and lending market differently.

Whether you are managing floating rates, preparing for an upcoming fixed rate expiry, or looking at how this impacts your borrowing capacity for your next purchase, having a clear plan in place is key.

Want to discuss what this latest decision means for your specific future plans? Get in touch today to start the conversation.

Managing a car loan, a credit card, and a couple of buy now pay later accounts isn't multitasking. It is juggling repayments and potentially paying more interest than you need to be.

Saving a 20% deposit is often the biggest hurdle facing first home buyers, but it isn't the only way onto the property ladder.

Between lower-deposit options like the 5% First Home Loan Scheme and housing affordability returning to long-term averages across the country, getting into your first home might be closer than you think.

Ahead of the upcoming general election, there are also ongoing discussions around potential policy changes that could open up eligibility to even more first home buyers.

Our latest blog breaks down how recent market shifts impact your buying power right now and what these options could mean for your future plans.

When you go direct to a bank, you only get the home loan products that single bank wants to offer you and once the paperwork is signed, you are left on your own.

A mortgage adviser works differently. We look across the market to find the right solution for you today, and we stay in your corner as interest rates change, fixed terms roll over, and your long-term financial goals evolve.

You deserve more than an off-the-shelf transaction. You deserve a partner by your side for the long haul.

Ready to get a mortgage adviser in your corner? Send us a message to get started.
