Understanding the intricacies of home finance can be challenging. Our Home Finance & Mortgage Brokers are here to demystify the process, helping you access suitable home loan options from banks and lenders nationwide. When buying your first home, it's crucial to consider various factors such as interest rates, lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), and first home owner grants (FHOG). These elements can significantly influence your financial situation and the overall cost of buying a home. We help you explore both variable and fixed interest rate options, ensuring you find a package that aligns with your goals.
One of the first steps in buying your first home is understanding your borrowing capacity. This involves assessing your financial situation, including bank statements and any existing obligations. Our brokers assist you in applying for a home loan by guiding you through the application process and helping you get pre-approved. This pre-approval is a crucial step, as it gives you a clear idea of the loan amount you can access, making it easier to search for properties within your budget.
First-time home buyers often benefit from government schemes and grants designed to ease the financial burden. First home owner grants and first-time home buyer programs can provide valuable assistance, reducing costs such as stamp duty and offering interest rate discounts. Our team ensures that you are aware of these benefits and can maximise them when buying your first home. Additionally, we explain the implications of lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) and loan to value ratio (LVR), helping you make informed decisions.
Investment loan options are also available for those considering purchasing their first investment property. Understanding the property market and how it affects investment opportunities is essential. Our brokers provide insights into current trends, helping you decide if an investment loan application is the right move. By offering access to banks and lenders nationwide, we ensure that you have a variety of options to choose from, whether you're buying your first home or looking at an investment opportunity.
The application process for a home loan can seem daunting, but with our streamlined approach, it becomes much more manageable. We assist in compiling necessary documentation, such as bank statements, and guide you through each step. This support extends to explaining the benefits of features like offset accounts, which can help reduce interest payments over time. By understanding these aspects, you can make more informed decisions about buying your first home.

Carl has been amazing to work with. He was on the ball straight from the start with knowing all the information I would need to provide. He was quick to respond while others would not return communication for weeks. He managed to secure me a great product in a short amount of time, even while we are on opposite sides of the country. I highly recommend getting in touch with Carl, you won't look back.

Nick and team were great, made the process seamless.
We take look at a wide range of products available from Banks, Credit Unions & other lenders across the country. This means we can search thousands of products and make sure we're always recommending the best Home Loans for our clients.
This depends on your income, expenses, and deposit, but dentists can often borrow 5-6 times their annual income due to strong earning potential. We'll calculate your exact borrowing capacity based on your specific circumstances.
Too easy! We can arrange dual-purpose financing for dental professionals. This might involve purchasing a property where you live upstairs and practice downstairs, or separate but coordinated purchases. We understand the zoning, commercial lending, and tax implications involved and work with lenders experienced in medical/dental property financing.
For employed dentists: recent payslips, employment contract, bank statements (3-6 months), and ID. If you have HECS debt, include your latest notice of assessment.
For practice owners: two years of tax returns, business activity statements, profit and loss statements, and business bank statements.
For locum dentists: contracts with regular practices, bank statements showing consistent deposits, and booking confirmations.
We'll guide you through exactly what's needed for your specific situation and help present your application in the strongest way possible.
Many of our dental clients secure loans with 10-15% deposits. Some lenders offer LMI waivers for medical and dental professionals, recognising your profession's low default risk. We've arranged loans with deposits as low as 5% for established dentists with strong income history.
No, our service is completely free for most home loans. We're paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles, so there's no cost to you for our expertise and guidance. On the rare occasion there might be a fee for specialised services, we'll always discuss this with you beforehand - complete transparency, no hidden costs.
All of our Mortgage Brokers are accredited and members of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia. They are extremely professional and provide exceptional service across a range of lending options.
Banks can only offer their own products, but we access hundreds of loans from 40 lenders to find your best deal. More importantly, we understand dental professionals - from HECS debt and associate income to practice purchases. Bank staff rarely have this specialised knowledge.
We do all the legwork, comparing products and handling paperwork while you focus on your patients. Instead of visiting multiple banks, you get one expert broker who knows the dental industry inside out.
Not with the right lender. Many successful dentists work as associates at 2-3 practices or combine associate work with their own practice. We specialise in presenting multi-income dental applications clearly, using employment contracts and income history to demonstrate stability across your various roles.
We work with lenders who specifically understand dental education debt. Unlike general lenders who may see your $150,000 HECS debt as a liability, our partner lenders recognise this as professional investment debt with government-backed repayment terms. We know which lenders exclude HECS from debt-service calculations or apply more favourable assessment rates.
