Our Home Loan & Refinancing Services

Your first home is one of the most important purchases you’ll ever make, and one of the most difficult too. The biggest pitfalls we see in the Springfield and Brisbane property market is too little deposit, and a tad too little research. Both understandable when it comes to a first home. You need to research the Brisbane, Springfield or Brookwater area, the local amenities, the property type for maintenance and know precisely how much you can afford to borrow and comfortably repay. That's one of the biggest benefits of working with a Springfield or Brookwater Mortgage Broker; we will help you find the loan that fits your current and future lifestyle.

There are several other upfront costs to cover too, including stamp duty and solicitors, on top of that, real estate agents will often push to make a sale, so you have to be strong, and not be afraid to negotiate. As a buyer, you need to be in control, and that is not an easy task when it comes to your first home. If you are purchasing your first home in the Brisbane, Springfield, Brookwater, Ipswich, Jimboomba and surrounds or greater Brisbane area, please contact the Zest Mortgage Solutions team - we have glowing reviews because we know how daunting purchasing your first home can be.

At Zest Mortgage Solutions, we love helping clients that are looking to refinance their home loans, as we can often provide remarkable results in very little time. Many of our clients initially took their mortgage with a bank and now no longer wish to deal with them due to waiting times, excessive administration and frustrations. The beauty of a mortgage broker is that we work for you, not the banks.

At Zest, we start by reviewing your current home loan to benchmark it against the 60 lenders we negotiate with. If there are factors that you like about your current mortgage provider, we can try and match these while analysing rates. We will also help you work out the best interest type for your lifestyle, and if you want to consolidate debt or have access the equity in your home. Once you know what you like/don't like with current lender, get in touch with the Zest Mortgage Solutions team, and we'll help you find the loan terms and rates you want.

If you're looking to upgrade, downgrade or sidegrade homes, there are several big decisions you may need to make to ensure the process goes smoothly - like do you buy, or sell first? This can be a tough decision with Brisbane home loans and the Springfield property market, as selling your property first lets you know exactly how much you can spend on your next home and provides certainty for many people.

But on the flip side, selling first may put you under pressure for a quicker sale, which may give you less leverage and breathing space. You may also be looking at additional rents and moving costs while between homes. There are many factors when it comes to changing homes. The best first step is often to talk to a local Mortgage Broker like Zest Mortgage Solutions. We can help you understand your finances in finer detail so you can make decisions with confidence and certainty.

A construction loan is designed specifically for people who are building or planning to undertake major renovations instead of buying an established property. A construction loan, in most cases, has a progressive drawdown. This means that you will receive your loan money at various stages of your construction instead of obtaining all of the money upfront.

A number of the 60 lenders we work with at Zest Mortgage Solutions in Springfield and Brookwater offer construction loans that are interest-only during the construction phase. Following construction, we revert to a standard interest loan. One of the most significant benefits of working with a Mortgage Broker like Zest is that we can also help you understand and obtain Government grants, like the recent HomeBuilder scheme. If you are looking to build your home from scratch, or renovate, please contact to Zest team to see how a construction loan can help.
