Why use a Paddington mortgage broker?

When arranging a mortgage without specificadvice, many people are so eager and they may take shortcuts and fail to fully understand the contract they are signing.  This can result in not knowing whether they are getting value for money. Often they are disappointed when their home loan doesn’t give them what they wanted, or they are caught out by hidden fees.  Using a mortgage broker gives you the peace of mind that the home loan you choose will work and can provide advice and assistance to make sure you are properly protected.  Especially when considering first home loan.

What does a Paddington mortgage broker actually do?

Your mortgage broker will want to find you the best home loan possible.  This means they need to look at your income, your expenses, any other debts or assets you have, and then look at the Mortgages that will suit you.  It may be that you want to look at home loan interest rates or split home loans. Of course you want a mortgage that will be manageable and affordable, so a mortgage broker will only suggest loans that fit in with you.  Once you have chosen what type of home loan you want, a mortgage broker can apply for approval on your behalf, keep on top of the progress, close the deal quickly, and sort out all necessary documents.  They can even organize settlement so you can enjoy your new home faster.

Why don’t Paddington mortgage brokers charge for their services?

Reputable mortgage brokers do not charge for a consultation.  You can access their panel of lenders, get help with your application, and get assistance with settlement, without paying anything to the broker.  Mortgage brokers are paid commissions by the lenders.  No matter what commissions are being offered, you will not pay more on your home loan.  This ensures that you can get expert assistance without paying more.

Why go to a Paddington mortgage broker instead of direct to a lender?

Going direct to a lender may appear easier, but without the proper advice and knowledge, going direct may well turn out to be an extremely expensive exercise. Because mortgage brokers deal with a range of lenders, they have access to a range of different policies. Brokers will be aware of the benefits, exclusions and costs of competing policies on the market. They will also help arrange the application and settlement.

I am pretty happy with my current bank

If you have a good relationship with your current lender then you are very lucky.  This means you are probably already getting a good deal.  But new products come onto the market constantly, such as line of credit loans and 100% offset home loans meaning it is worth checking them out occasionally to see if they could work for you.  A mortgage broker is always assessing numerous new home loans that become available, and is the ideal person to talk you through the options.  Things happen in life, and your circumstances may change, meaning that you need to adjust the terms of your loan from time to time.  A mortgage broker can help you make decisions no matter what your financial needs are.
