Different lenders have different methods of calculating your borrowing capacity based on your financial position. For example, we have known one lender to lend $400,000 and another $280,000 based on the same customer profile. A phone call or email to us can quickly determine your maximum loan amount.
No, NFMC does not provide funds. As a broker, we act as intermediaries between you and the lender.
Our services come at no cost to the borrowers. There is no fee for the specialist home loan broking service we provide for you. The lender you have chosen pays us a commission from its profit.
Depending on the lender and type of loan it can take between 10 and 40 working days. If you need funds urgently, we will limit your choice of lenders to those who have short turn around times.

Yes, we can arrange a written pre approval from a lender. You can then seek your ideal property with the confidence the funds are available.
Mortgage Insurance protects the lender in the event of non repayment of the loan. It is a once off premium payable on settlement of the loan and is usually payable on loans where the borrower has less than 20% equity in the property.
Yes, this is known as a low documentation loan (Lo Doc). We have access to lenders who do not require Tax Returns to be provided
All the lenders on our panel allow you to make extra repayments on your variable rate mortgages. These extra repayments can also be redrawn from the loan should you need access to funds for investment or personal use.
Fixed rate mortgages offer certainty over the interest rate, but they take away
some flexibility. Most lenders have restrictions on extra repayments and redraw
is usually not available. Fixed rates also have break costs that need to be factored
in.
It is difficult to predict the movement of interest rates and it's best to look
at fixed rates as a protection strategy. For example, a Fixed Rate may be appropriate
if you could not afford further interest rate rises on your current salary.
You could decide to split the mortgage between fixed and variable and it is part
of our service to help you determine what will work best for you.
Often we find that many borrowers are paying higher interest rates and fees than
they should. Some may have started on a honeymoon or introductory rate, but are
now coasting along on a standard variable rate when they should be doing much better.
Other clients may have a loan with all of the "whistles and bells" when a basic
variable loan would save them thousands of dollars over the life of the loan.
With our software we can quickly identify if a refinance is suitable for you and
arrange the necessary paperwork.
