FAQ's

frequently asked questions

Explore our faqs or reach out to understand how our financial guidance works.

How much can I borrow?

Your borrowing capacity depends on income, expenses, existing debts, and deposit size. Most Brisbane buyers can borrow 4–6 times their annual income. Our free 60-second assessment gives you a realistic estimate before you speak to anyone.

How much deposit do I need?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s,when an unknown printer took a galley of type.

What is LMI and can I avoid it?

LMI (Lender's Mortgage Insurance) is a one-off premium when you borrow more than 80% of the property value. It protects the lender, not you. It can be avoided with a 20% deposit or by qualifying for the First Home Guarantee (5% deposit, no LMI). Some professional packages also waive it.

How long does pre-approval last?

Pre-approval is typically valid for 3–6 months. If your circumstances haven't changed, we can renew it. Having pre-approval in place means you can move quickly when the right property appears.

What documents do I need to apply?

Typically: last 2 payslips, 3 months' bank statements, 2 years' tax returns (if self-employed), photo ID, and details of any existing debts. We provide a personalised checklist when you book a call.

What grants can I access as a first home buyer?

In Queensland: the $15,000 First Home Owner Grant (new builds), stamp duty concessions (purchases under $550,000), and the federal First Home Guarantee (5% deposit, no LMI). We check your eligibility when we speak.

Is refinancing worth it?

Often yes — especially if your rate hasn't been reviewed in 12+ months. We always compare the cost of switching (discharge and establishment fees) against the long-term savings before recommending a move.

Does using a mortgage broker cost me anything?

No. We receive a commission from the lender on settlement — you pay nothing directly. We are legally required to act in your best interests, not the lender's. Our service is completely free to you at every stage.
