Why should I use a mortgage broker when buying property?

Mortgage brokers have access to a broad range of banks and both local and national non-bank lenders, so you’re likely to find lower rates than if you confine your search to just one or a few lenders. Talking with a broker can save you thousands while repaying a relatively long-term home loan.

One of the first things a broker will do for the average home buyer is compare owner-occupier mortgages. Then, they’ll combine the most cost-effective solution available with a repayment option that matches the buyer’s requirements which can include:

  • Fixed-rate home loan repayments: Suit home buyers who want a fixed, consistent repayment amount each and every month. They’re easy to plan for, and there are no unwelcome surprises
  • Variable-rate home loan repayments: This option might appeal to home buyers with a bit more room to speculate on the wider property market and economy. If interest rates fall, so will your repayments. When the opposite happens, repayments increase.
  • Split-rate home loan repayments: Are ideal if you want to hedge your bets on a portion of your mortgage repayments but have certainty on the fixed rate part.

Basically, everyone can benefit from talking with a broker. Cranbourne offers a property option for most buyers and budgets. Even though it’s close to the city, the suburb remains extremely affordable.

The average cost of a unit in the area is just under $400,000. Not all buyers out there are the same, and local mortgage brokers are also used to providing a varied choice of specialist owner-occupier home loans and different mortgage features, including

I want to buy a second home in Cranbourne. Can a mortgage broker find me a relevant home loan option?
