Personal Loans are a popular product that provide you with access to funds for various personal expenses. Whether it's for a wedding, home improvements, travel, debt consolidation, or unexpected emergencies, Personal Loans offer a flexible way to obtain a funds in a short amount of time. Personal Loans are also typically unsecured, meaning you don't need to provide collateral, such as a property or car, to secure the loan.

Personal Loans also come with fixed or variable interest rates. Fixed-rate Personal Loans offer the advantage of predictable repayments throughout the loan term, providing borrowers with certainty about their financial commitments. On the other hand, variable-rate Personal Loans may have fluctuating interest rates based on market conditions, which could result in changes to the repayment amount over time. We can help choose the right personal loan for you as well as find the best interest rate on the market.

We're a proud member of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia and can help with Personal Loans right across Australia. If you're looking to get a Personal Loan, we have the expertise and experience to guide you through the process and make the right choice.

Dale and his team are highly responsive, caring, and professional. They helped us to plan for our home loan and to manage expectations realistically. Ultimately, they secured a loan that met our needs, which for our situation was particularly difficult given our unique circumstances. I highly recommend you work with Dale and the team at The Finance Architect!

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best interest rate?

The best interest rate varies from person to person based on individual circumstances. A larger deposit and borrowing less than 80% of the property value can help secure more favourable rates. However, the interest rate is just one of several factors we consider when making recommendations. Other factors include lending products, service quality, turnaround times, flexibility, and lender policies. Our goal is to ensure our clients don't overpay, so we frequently request better pricing from lenders during regular loan reviews.

My business financials aren't up-to-date, can I still secure financing?

Yes, you can. Depending on factors such as GST registration and the length of time your ABN has been established, it may be possible in some cases to use financials from the previous financial year. Some lenders also offer financing without financials, provided your BAS is current and the numbers align. Understanding which lenders are more accommodating to self-employed applicants is crucial, and our expertise can guide you through these types of applications.

Do you impose any fees?

In general, no. However, there are exceptions that depend on the complexity of your situation and whether we will receive compensation for our services. Any applicable fees will be transparently communicated to you at an early stage.

How much deposit do I need?

The notion that a 20% deposit is mandatory is a misconception. Depending on your circumstances, the minimum deposit is often just 5%. We will advise you on the required deposit during your initial appointment with us. If you have a family guarantor, it may even be possible to buy property with no deposit at all. Feel free to contact us for more information.

Why Choose a Mortgage Broker Over a Bank?

In brief, it's all about choice (with access to 50 lenders), service (our unwavering commitment to supporting you, not just for the immediate transaction but also your long-term goals and objectives), and advice (our expert guidance tailored to your unique needs). Banks simply can't compete with our offerings. Moreover, we are obligated to act in your best interests, in line with the recently introduced Best Interest Duty (BID), a requirement that banks cannot fulfill.

What sets you apart from other mortgage brokers?

To be frank, writing a home loan isn't particularly challenging; our value lies in the ongoing service we offer. We proactively review our clients' loans and portfolios, identifying opportunities for you to expedite debt repayment, amass wealth, or enhance your lifestyle.

Is it genuinely possible to pay off my loan in 10 years?

Absolutely! Like anything worthwhile, it requires commitment and sacrifice, but the prospect of being debt-free in a decade sounds appealing, doesn't it?

We don't reside in Victoria. Can you still assist us?

Absolutely, no problem. Our services are entirely digital, and our appointments are primarily conducted online. We have clients from all over Australia, and even some based overseas, so your location poses no hindrance.

Someone suggested I should be purchasing property within my SMSF. Can you assist with this?

Yes, we can. The SMSF (Self-Managed Super Fund) space is currently a trending option, and we work with several lenders who operate in this market. If you already have SMSF lending, when was the last time you reviewed it? We've seen substantial savings for clients who were able to secure significant interest rate reductions. If you haven't had your SMSF loan reviewed, it's in your best interest to schedule a Loan Review with us.

How long does it take to secure loan approval?

This varies. We can expedite the application process as much as you can, but the timeline ultimately depends on your chosen lender. Some lenders can process applications within hours, while others may take anywhere from 3 to 14 business days. Bank turnaround times can occasionally influence our recommendations, especially if you have a specific timeframe in mind.

I'm uncertain if I'm ready; can you assist in developing a purchase plan?

Certainly. We encounter many people in a similar situation, whether they're not quite ready but have a goal, or they're unsure about their readiness. We'll guide you every step of the way, speaking in plain language while explaining the necessary steps for obtaining financing.
