I will help you choose and apply for a loan that is suitable for your purpose from a panel of lenders. Once we have chosen a lender and loan terms that are suitable for you, I will help you to obtain an Approval.
I provide financial advice on Home Loans, Commercial Business Loans and Asset Finance.
Generally, I won’t charge you any fees for the financial advice I provide to you. This is possible because, on settlement of a loan, I usually receive commission from the lender. Any exceptions to this general position are explained below. If these exceptions will apply to you, I will let you know.
I may charge you a one-off fee if the following occurs:
This may arise in the rare event that you request that I provide services in relation to either a product that is offered by a lender that I do not hold an accreditation with, or a product that is outside my usual arrangements with my approved lenders.
The fee I charge you will not exceed the amount of commission I have to repay to the lender. You will be invoiced for any one-off fee and will be given 30 days to make payment.
On settlement of a loan, I usually receive a commission payment from the applicable lender.
The commission is generally of an upfront commission payment, but I may also receive an ongoing trail commission payment. The upfront commission is calculated as a percentage of the loan at drawdown.
A trail commission is calculated as a percentage of the loan outstanding at the relevant time.
I may also receive a fixed rate roll over fee from the applicable lender if I assist in refixing your loan.
The maximum percentage that each lender uses to calculate upfront and trail commissions, and the maximum fixed rate roll over fees (refix fees), are set out in the table below. If there are any variations to these percentages or other commission payments that may apply, specific to your loan application, I will disclose this to you as part of my advice process.
I may also receive a referral fee or commission payment if I refer you to our referral partners listed above. I will give you more information about how that referral fee or commission is calculated, before proceeding.
From time to time, I may receive incentives or rewards from lenders. For example, they may provide me with gifts, tickets to events or other incentives.
I manage the conflicts of interest arising from these commission payments by:
Any advice or product implementation provided as a result of this needs analysis can only be as good as the information received from you, so I ask that you provide me with the information I request. Without relevant and correct information about your personal and financial situation I run the risk of giving advice that is not appropriate for your needs. If you are unsure as to why I need certain information, please ask so that I can explain.
