I had an excellent experience with Legacy Lane Finance Team. The service was outstanding, and I would especially like to recognize Katharina for her exceptional professionalism and dedication. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled perfectly and made the entire experience truly enjoyable. Her attention to detail, kindness, and commitment to excellent service were greatly appreciated and most of all she choose the right bank for us. Highly recommended to anyone who wants the same experience we had.

Responsive, honest and patient with first home buyers. Paul was great to deal with as a first home buyer. He always got back to me quickly, even with last-minute questions, and he gave me honest advice. He explained everything properly, so I never felt lost in the process. Would definitely recommend him.

I honestly can’t thank Kath and Caleb enough for everything they have done for Trent and myself. From the bottom of our hearts thank you both for believing in us and helping us make our dream home a reality. Building our dream home on our farm is something that means the absolute world to us without Kath and Caleb’s hard work dedication support and belief in us we wouldn’t be where we are today. They have gone above and beyond to help us through this journey and we will forever be grateful for everything they have done for us. It means so much to have people in your corner who believe in you and genuinely want to see your dreams come true and that is exactly what Kath and Caleb have done for us. Their hard work commitment and support have helped us take one of the biggest steps in our lives and we honestly couldn’t have done it without them. If you are looking for mortgage brokers who genuinely care who will work hard for you and who will go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals we can’t recommend Kath and Caleb highly enough.

If you're looking for a trustworthy and approachable team for any of your finance needs, I would 1000% recommend Kris & his team Kris has helped us with buying both of our properties and got us a good deal for our home loans. He has also helped with refinancing our loans too. When we arrived in Australia, we didn't know anything about the property market in Australia and how it works. Kris & his team was kind enough to sit down and spend time with us. He not only helped us buy our first property but also helped us with managing our personal finances , that helped us to buy our second property . He went through in detail about our expenses, savings etc.To share your in and outs of your finance you need a trustworthy person and Kris is definitely the go to person. He keeps all your details very confidential and is reliable too. I would highly recommend Kris to anybody who is in need of any finance planning, small or big, beginner or intermediate within the property market

Caroline has been amazing to deal with during this process of refinancing my home loan. She investigated options for me and listened to what I wanted out of my home loan. She’s always been one step ahead and informed me of the next steps from start to finish. Thank you for making this process so easy. Highly recommend!

We had such a great experience with Caroline Hodgson at Olsen Finance! She was amazing throughout the whole process of getting our home loan sorted. Caroline took the time to compare different lenders and interest rates to make sure we were getting the best deal possible. She was always happy to answer our questions, kept us updated along the way and made the whole process so much easier and less stressful. We're so grateful for all her help and would definitely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a mortgage broker. Thanks so much, Caz and Olsen Finance!!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do rental income and tax benefits affect my investment loan application?

Investment properties offer unique advantages in terms of rental income considerations and tax benefits, but these vary based on your individual circumstances and the specific property. The tax implications can be complex and should be carefully considered as part of your overall investment strategy. Book a consultation to understand how these factors apply to your situation and investment goals.

Can I use equity in my existing home to buy an investment property?

Using existing property equity for investment purchases is a popular wealth-building strategy, but the approach varies depending on your financial position and goals. There are several structuring options available, each with different benefits and considerations. Our experts can assess your equity position and explain your options during a complimentary consultation.

How much can I borrow for a home loan?

Your borrowing capacity depends on various personal and financial factors. While general guidelines exist, your actual borrowing power is unique to your situation, income, and financial goals. The best way to understand your true borrowing capacity is through a personalised assessment. Contact us for a free consultation where we'll provide you with an accurate borrowing estimate tailored to your circumstances.

Can I refinance my existing home loan or investment loan to get a better rate?

Refinancing can offer significant benefits, but whether it's right for you depends on your current loan terms, financial situation, and future goals. Market conditions and available products change regularly, so it's worth having your loans reviewed. Contact us for a free loan review to see if refinancing could improve your financial position.

What deposit do I need for an investment property loan?

Deposit requirements for investment properties vary between lenders and depend on your overall financial profile. While there are general guidelines, your specific situation may open up different options or require alternative approaches. Let us assess your circumstances in a free consultation to determine the most suitable deposit strategy for your investment plans.

What documents do I need to apply for a home or investment loan?

Documentation requirements vary depending on your employment type, loan amount, and chosen lender. Rather than providing a generic list, we prefer to give you a personalized checklist based on your specific situation and loan type. During your free consultation, we'll outline exactly what documents you'll need and help streamline your application process.

What types of home loans does AXTON Finance offer?

We offer a comprehensive range of home loan solutions including owner-occupier loans, first home buyer packages, refinancing options, and specialised lending products. Every situation is unique, which is why we work with multiple lenders to find the right fit for your circumstances. Book a free consultation with our experienced brokers to discover which loan options best suit your needs and financial goals.

How long does the loan approval process take?

Processing timeframes can vary based on your situation, chosen lender, and current market conditions. While we work to expedite every application, each scenario is different. The best approach is to discuss your specific timeline needs during a consultation, where we can provide realistic expectations and work to meet your settlement requirements.

What is an investment property loan and how does it differ from a home loan?

Investment property loans are specialised financing solutions designed for rental properties. They have different requirements, benefits, and tax implications compared to standard home loans. The specifics can vary significantly based on your investment strategy and financial situation. Schedule a free consultation with our investment property specialists to understand how these loans work and whether they align with your investment goals.
