The "fact find"

This is where we get to know you, your current situation and your future goals. This is the most important step because the more we learn here the better advice we can give and the quicker the process is. The key part of the fact find process is open and honest dialogue - you give us all the info we need and we give you our honest opinions and advice on your goals.

The approval

With everything collected, it's time to get in touch with a lender to get you a pre-approval. A pre-approval is a great way to put a line in the sand to know how much you can borrow and let you get on with finding a property. We discuss with you which lender will suit your specific situation - and start with your preferred lender if you've got one. If you've already found a property, Great! In this case we can skip past a pre-approval and look at getting you a full approval for your purchase.

The search

Now you've got a pre-approval, it's time find you a property! This can take a while, so be patient if you don't find the ideal place straight away. We're always around to give our opinion on properties you're looking at, as well as help you decipher the LIMs and property inspection files. Once you have identified a potential property and want to make an offer to the vendor, we can guide you through that process (as well as refer you to other professionals such as lawyers that you'll need to tick all the boxes).

Getting the loan

This is the real meat of the process. It's our job to get you the best rate possible from the lender, but we also work with you to determine the best way to structure your loan. There are various options that can help you reduce the balance quickly, or minimise repayments - how we structure depends on your goals, and this is where we put our plan into action.

Reasons to use a Mortgage Adviser

posted on:
March 3, 2020

If you've never used an adviser before - you might be wondering why you wouldn't just go straight to the bank to get your loan. The list of benefits is quite long - so the best thing to do is get started!

  1. Good Advice – getting a mortgage is far more than just getting the best interest rate. We help you choose the best loan structure, fixed rate terms and discuss your long-term goals. Bank employees are not trained (and some are not even allowed) to give this kind of advice. You’ll most likely get a loan, but that’s all you’ll get!
  2. Benefit from our experience – we’ve seen every kind of borrower, and we’ve lined them up with the right lender every time. Not every borrower is created equal, just like not all the banks are created equal. Finding the right fit can be crucial, not only for what interest you’ll pay, but for finding the bank that will let you have the structure you want on the property you want.
  3. Save time – You could go out on your own, talk to all the banks and negotiate based on the deals they offer, but do you really have the time for that? We do all that leg-work for you, and we generally don’t even charge for     it! Talking to us also means a more efficient application process, and faster answers to your questions. If you have a question about the purchasing process, it’s usually far quicker to pick up the phone and talk to a Liquid adviser than it is to start researching online.
  4. Less stress – buying a property, whether it’s your first or fifteenth, can be stressful. There is a lot to think about and a lot to do, on top of dealing with your bank, solicitor and other professionals. Liquid takes the stress away by being in the middle of it all. We answer your questions and help you tick all your boxes so you can feel confident, not stressed.
  5. We’re independent – we don’t work for a bank, so we don’t have to offer you the bank’s products. We canvass a wide range of both bank and non-bank lenders to find the best solutions for our clients.
  6. Get a Financial Partner for life – a bank will be with you for the transaction and send you an email when it’s time to re-fix, but that’s the extent of the relationship. We keep in touch for the life of your loan, making sure you are getting the best deal, that your loan continues to work for you and that your needs are always being addressed.
