New Purchases

Lenderfi is here to help.

Finance makes new purchases easier by allowing you to spread the cost over time instead of paying everything upfront.

With flexible payment options, you can get what you need right away while managing your budget through affordable, manageable instalments that work for you.

The Process

We believe understanding your options is just as important as securing the right loan. Our process is designed to be simple, transparent, and tailored to you — whether you prefer to meet in person, over a coffee, or via Zoom.

From your first phone call through to settlement and beyond, you’ll always deal directly with us — not a bank branch.

We start with a brief phone conversation to gather some basic information. This allows us to calculate your exact borrowing capacity before we meet. From there, we’ll arrange a time to catch up in person and walk you through your options, as well as explain how the entire finance process works.

When we catch up, we go beyond simply outlining your borrowing capacity — we explain how it’s calculated and why it looks the way it does. If you’re taking the leap into homeownership, it’s important to clearly understand what you can do and the reasons behind it. We’re flexible on how we meet: at your home, our office, a local café, or via Zoom — whatever suits you best.

When you are ready, a pre-approval is important so that you can go shopping with confidence. Once you are pre-approved, you are not obligated to purchase; it is about confirming your borrowing capacity and strengthening your position when you’re ready to make an offer. Depending on your lender, this should only take 4–7 days.

Once you’re pre-approved, you’re ready to start submitting offers. We know working with real estate agents can feel overwhelming, so we will be there to help you submit offers, talk to agents, or simply confirm you are doing the right thing. There are usually plenty of questions at this stage, especially if it’s your first time, and we’ll always be here to support and reassure you.

Congratulations — your offer has been accepted! The next step is to sign a Contract of Sale. This may be a single contract, or separate land and build contracts if you’re building — both are perfectly fine. Once we receive the signed contract(s), we’ll submit them to the bank so they can confirm they’re satisfied with the property and formally approve your loan.

This is where you accept your loan offer and things really start to feel real. Once your loan documents are issued, we’ll organise a time to sit down and go through everything you’re signing, making sure it all makes sense and you’re comfortable. Once signed, we’ll send the documents back to the bank for verification.

This is the fun part — moving in! Your conveyancer handles the settlement on the day, which means you can focus on packing and getting excited about your new place. But even after settlement, we’re still by your side. Weeks, months, and years from now, if you need help with your loan or have any questions, you’ll deal directly with us — not a bank branch. That means faster answers and familiar faces every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

A mortgage broker assists borrowers in finding and securing the best home loan by comparing products from various lenders and managing the application process. A good broker will actively negotiate with the bank and challenge decisions rather than accepting a simple “no.”

Every bank has different interest rates and lending policies. A mortgage broker compares multiple lenders to ensure you’re matched with the right loan. Often the bank you’ve been with your whole life is not the one that will maximise your borrowing power or offer the most competitive interest rate. If your bank has told you no, reach out—there are often better options available elsewhere.

No, our service is completely free to you. Banks pay us a commission based on your loan amount. In most cases, all banks pay the same commission. If a bank were to pay us more, we would always disclose that to you in advance. This commission is not added to your loan— it’s simply cheaper for banks to pay us than to employ in-branch staff.

While each lender’s timeline may vary, you can generally expect pre-approval within 4–7 days, with formal approval following 3–4 days after your sign the contracts.

Typically, pre-approvals are valid for 3 months, though this can vary depending on the lender. If your pre-approval expires but your circumstances and the bank’s policies remain unchanged, you won’t need to submit a completely new application. We can simply update your existing application.

Yes, while some mortgage brokers may be hesitant to provide a pre-approval, we believe it’s important to obtain one before you begin house hunting. Having a pre-approval can also give you a competitive advantage when it comes to getting your offer accepted.
