Individual experiences differ; lending outcomes and timelines vary.

Start with what matters now

Review the loan you have—or plan the property you want.

The current-loan review comes first. Buying pathways stay close behind when you are ready for a first home, first investment or an Australian purchase from overseas.

01Current market focus

Home loan review

“Has my current loan kept up with the market?”

Start with a quick snapshot of your rate, balance, repayment and estimated property value. Ferdi will identify the most useful conversation to have next.

A useful review can finish in three places

01StayYour current loan may still stack up.
02RepriceAsk your existing lender to sharpen the offer.
03RefinanceCompare a move only when total value supports it.
03For homeowners

My first investment

“Could the home I own help fund my first investment?”

See what your equity may unlock, what you can comfortably service and whether the cash flow can hold up.

  • Equity you may actually be able to use
  • Cash flow, repayments and a sensible buffer
  • New-versus-established tax changes explained

Buying from overseas

“I live overseas. What could I buy—and finance?”

Check citizenship, residency, FIRB, deposit and purchase costs before narrowing the application to selected lenders.

  • Plan around roughly 60–70% LVR, case by case
  • Normal duty, foreign surcharge and FIRB costs
  • Selected-lender policy—not the full panel

Clarity before comparison

The lowest rate is not automatically the right loan.

A good decision also considers lender policy, fees, features, repayment flexibility and what you may want to do next.

Ferdi starts with your whole picture, researches suitable options from the lender panel, then explains the trade-offs in plain English. You choose with context—not guesswork.

A panel of 30+ lenders

A loan should fit your life—not just look good on a rate table.

Ferdi can research options from major banks through to specialist lenders, then narrow the panel around your residency, income, deposit, property and plans.

Straight answers

The questions people usually Google at midnight.

No question is too basic. It is better to understand the detail before you sign anything.

Do I really need a 20% deposit?

No. Some loans and government-supported pathways may allow a smaller deposit. The right option depends on eligibility, lender policy, LMI, purchase costs and what repayments feel comfortable for you.

Do I pay the mortgage broker?

Lenders generally pay mortgage brokers a commission. Any applicable client-paid fee and the commissions AUD Finance may receive will be disclosed before you proceed.

Can I talk to Ferdi before I am ready to buy?

Yes. An early conversation can give you a practical savings target, explain what affects borrowing capacity and help you avoid changes that could complicate a future application.

Why use a broker instead of going straight to my bank?

Your bank can explain its own products. A mortgage broker can research suitable options across an accredited lender panel and help coordinate the application. The panel does not represent the entire market.

What should I prepare for the first chat?

A rough idea of your income, savings, debts, monthly commitments, purchase goal and timing is enough to begin. Do not email tax file numbers, passwords, identity documents or bank login details.
