First Home Buyers

Absolutely. While LendPire is based in Sydney, NSW, we work with clients right across Australia. Thanks to the way we operate, location is rarely a barrier. We can communicate via phone, email, or video call, and we handle everything in a way that suits your schedule and location. Whether you are in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or a regional area, our team is equipped to assist you with your property finance needs. We are committed to making sure Australians in all parts of the country have access to quality finance broking services, regardless of where they live or invest.

Refinancing means replacing your existing loan with a new one, either with your current lender or a different one. People refinance for a range of reasons, including accessing equity in their property, consolidating debts, changing their loan structure, or simply reviewing whether their current loan still suits their needs. It is worth having a conversation about refinancing if your circumstances have changed since you first took out your loan, or if you have not reviewed your loan in a while. At LendPire, we can take a look at your current loan and compare it against what else may be available. We will give you an honest picture of whether refinancing makes sense for your situation.

Getting started is straightforward. You can reach out to us through our website or give us a call to book an initial consultation. This first conversation is about understanding your goals and your current financial situation. There is no obligation at this stage, and we encourage you to come with any questions you have. From there, if we are a good fit, we will outline the next steps and what we need from you to move forward. At LendPire, we take the time to understand what you are trying to achieve before recommending any course of action. Whether you are ready to move now or just starting to think about your options, we are happy to have that conversation with you.

LendPire works across a range of lending categories. We commonly assist clients with home loans for owner-occupiers, investment property loans, refinancing of existing loans, and loans for those looking to grow a property portfolio. We also work with clients on construction loans and can assist with self-employed lending scenarios where income documentation may be more complex. Our focus is on property finance, and we have built strong relationships with a wide panel of lenders to give our clients access to a variety of loan products. During our initial conversation, we will get a clear picture of what you need and point you in the right direction from there.

When you go directly to a bank, you are only seeing what that one lender has to offer. A finance broker like LendPire has access to a panel of lenders, which means we can compare multiple options on your behalf. Different lenders have different policies, and what one lender declines, another may consider. Beyond the product comparison, we also bring knowledge of how lenders assess applications, which can be valuable when it comes to presenting your situation in the right way. We save you time, reduce the back-and-forth, and help you understand what you are signing up for. It is about having someone in your corner who knows how the process works.

LendPire is typically paid a commission by the lender when a loan is settled. This means that in most cases, you do not pay us directly for our broking services. The commission we receive is disclosed to you upfront and is outlined clearly in our Credit Guide and Proposal documents, so there are no surprises. We believe in full transparency when it comes to how we are compensated. Our obligation is to act in your best interests, and we take that responsibility seriously. If there are any situations where a fee may apply, we will always discuss that with you before proceeding so you can make an informed decision.

The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of your situation, the lender involved, and how quickly documentation is provided. In general, once we have all the information we need from you, we can prepare and submit an application relatively promptly. From there, lender assessment times can range from a few days to a couple of weeks. Some lenders move quicker than others, and some applications require more review than others. At LendPire, we keep you informed throughout the process so you always know where things stand. We also follow up with lenders on your behalf to help keep things moving along. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible for you.

The documents required will depend on your personal circumstances and the type of loan you are applying for. Generally speaking, lenders will want to see proof of identity, evidence of income such as payslips or tax returns, recent bank statements, and details of any existing debts or liabilities. If you are self-employed, you may need to provide additional documentation such as business financials or BAS statements. If you are purchasing a property, you will also need to provide the contract of sale once it is available. At LendPire, we will give you a clear checklist of what is needed based on your specific situation so you know exactly what to gather before we get started.

A finance broker acts as the link between you and a range of lenders. Rather than you spending hours researching loan products on your own, a broker does the legwork for you. At LendPire, we assess your financial situation, understand what you are trying to achieve, and then search across multiple lenders to find options that may suit your needs. We handle the paperwork, communicate with lenders on your behalf, and guide you through each step of the process. Whether you are buying your first property, adding to an existing portfolio, or refinancing, having a broker in your corner means you have someone who understands the lending process working for you.

Yes, we regularly work with self-employed clients. Lending for self-employed individuals can be more involved because income is often structured differently compared to someone who receives a regular salary. Some lenders have specific policies around how they assess self-employed income, and not all lenders treat it the same way. At LendPire, we understand how to present self-employed income in a way that lenders can assess clearly. We work with lenders who have experience in this space and understand the realities of running a business. If you are self-employed and looking to purchase or refinance a property, we encourage you to reach out so we can discuss your situation in detail.
