We had Nicole as our broker to buy our first home, she’s absolutely amazing! The whole process felt smooth and she was there to help every step of the way, explained everything thoroughly and answered any questions we had. Would highly recommend Nicole, she is so lovely and supportive! ❤️

Fantastic experience and guidance with David Pelligra at Axton Finance. David went above and beyond with our refinancing, he kept things very simple and fought for the best deal for us. What truly makes David stand out is his kind and genuine nature towards helping people, and not trying to impress them with technical jargon. Even months after the refinance has been settled, David always picks up the phone to answer any questions, big or small. A true gent.

We've been working with Martin and in particular Joyce for the past 10 years and wouldn't look anywhere else. We've refinanced twice and Joyce has been amazing through both applications. Joyce is happy to pick up the phone/email/txt/carrier pigeon at any time and provides clear and fast communication throughout. I feel like Joyce is part of the family! She is personable, bubbly and just a joy to chat with. If I had any question I could pick up the phone and know that Joyce would answer the call or let me know when she would reply. Highly recommend Joyce and her team if you're looking for mortgage advice or re-financing. Thanks Joyce for all your help and we'll give you a buzz down the track if we need. Which I'm sure we will!

Having moved from the UK and not knowing the differences in the house buying process between England and Australia, me and my partner approached Nicole for help. She was absolutely fantastic, she walked us through the process every step of the way. Any question we had, she knew the answer, she was very responsive to calls and messages and overall I don’t think we would have gotten our home in the time we did without Nicole’s help. Nicole is just fantastic and I’d recommend her to anyone buying a home!

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.
