The 5 mistakes

1

Mistake: Applying to several lenders yourself

Each application leaves a credit enquiry on your file. Several close together can look like you've been knocked back elsewhere, and the next lender may say no.

How we fix it: We pick the right lender first, so you only apply once.

2

Mistake: Trusting one bank's borrowing number

Every lender treats income, expenses and debts differently, so the same person can get very different limits. Shop to one figure and you could aim too low or miss the right home.

How we fix it: We compare your borrowing power across 60+ lenders.

3

Mistake: Choosing on interest rate alone

Package fees, ongoing charges and loan features change the real cost. A slightly lower rate can still cost more over the life of the loan.

How we fix it: We compare the full cost, not just the headline rate.

4

Mistake: Fixing your whole loan

Most lenders won't let an offset reduce interest on a fixed rate. Fix all of it and your savings stop working for you for the whole fixed term.

How we fix it: We set up a split so your offset keeps working.

5

Mistake: Never reviewing your loan after settlement

Lenders often give new customers sharper rates than existing ones. If you never review, you can pay more each month for the same loan.

How we fix it: We review your loan and tell you plainly if switching is worth it.
