Expert Mortgage Brokers in Richmond

Our brokers have extensive experience with complex lending requirements, particularly for self-employed borrowers, foreign investors, and business owners who report varying income patterns. We create detailed loan submissions to meet lender criteria and increase approval chances. This expertise allows us to match self-employed clients with lenders accepting alternative income verification, structure finance options for complicated property transactions, and secure competitive loan terms for contractors and professionals with non-standard income streams.

We gain our edge by working with many lenders through our aggregator partnerships, while also maintaining direct relationships with lenders. We maintain up-to-date knowledge of lending policies across traditional, near-prime, and specialist lending sectors.

To summarise:

• Established industry presence for 10 years
• Relationships with 38 lenders, including major banks and specialist providers
• Specialised expertise in construction and development finance

We regularly assist clients who are relocating from the interstate. We coordinate electronic identity verification, collaborate with conveyancers on state-specific requirements, and address lender location policies.

Our initial consultation involves assessing your financial position, preparing a document checklist, and discussing loan options based on your preferences for rates and features. We calculate your deposit position, confirm savings history requirements, and explain any mortgage insurance implications.

• Comparing loan structure options (fixed, variable and split arrangements)
• Outlining pre-approval process and documentation requirements

Our refinance service examines potential exit costs, manages discharge processes, and compares rates across our lender panel. We calculate potential savings based on actual comparison rates, arrange property valuations to confirm equity position, and recommend improved options with better rates, offset facilities, or package benefits.

Our commercial finance team handles various business lending needs, including secured business loans, equipment finance, and commercial property purchases. We prepare thorough business credit applications, including financial reports, business registration details, and industry analyses tailored to specific lender requirements.

For new investors, we provide guidance on tax-effective loan structures, compare principal-and-interest versus interest-only options, and discuss property ownership structures. We take into account projected rental returns against loan commitments, explain how investment properties affect future borrowing capacity.

Before submission, we carefully verify all documentation, review your credit history, and test your application against multiple lenders' criteria. We craft detailed application notes highlighting your financial strengths and addressing potential issues. After lodgment, we maintain regular contact with credit assessors, promptly respond to additional requirements, and coordinate valuation processes to meet settlement timeframes.
