Is this service free?

Some of the most common questions we get asked are:

How does a Broker get paid?

The bank which provides the home loan pays us a commission on settlement for our time and work. So normally our service is paid for by the Banks. However, there are some conditions:

1. The loan must stay with the bank/lender for up to 28 months. Otherwise, we may have to repay some or all that commission. This is called “clawback”. A fee may be applicable to cover our time if this happens, refer to our Terms of Engagement/Disclosure document (available on request).
   
   
2. You must use us exclusively to arrange the loan for you. If you are also looking to obtain a loan directly, or use another broker, then we may not get paid for our time and thus may charge a fee. It’s important to communicate your intentions early to us and disclose everything.
   
   

Do you charge a fee?

If you work with us exclusively to arrange your loan there is usually no fee as the bank pays us for our time. However, on the rare occasion where a fee is charged, it is agreed in advance.  It is usually for:

1. Bridging finance when all or most of the loan will be completely repaid within a short period,

2. Occasionally for commercial and business loans,

3. Short-term loans for debt consolidation, to avoid mortgagee sales and adverse credit, or

4. Any loan where the bank or lender doesn’t pay us a commission or not enough to cover our time,

5. Sometimes in the event of "clawback" as mentioned above,
   
   
6. Complex non-bank lender applications.
