Before you hire

A mortgage broker accesses multiple lenders and can often find better rates or structures than going directly to a bank. Ask how many lenders they work with, whether they are paid a commission by the lender, and how they will explain your options if the cheapest rate is not necessarily the best structure for your situation.

Before you choose a mortgage broker in South Auckland

Drawn from 164 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.

What does a mortgage broker cost, and who pays? expand_more

Lenders pay brokers directly, so using a broker costs you nothing upfront. Upfront commissions run between 0.55% and 0.85% of your loan amount, with trail commissions of 0.15% to 0.20% per year on your outstanding balance. By law, brokers must disclose how they are paid, in writing, before giving advice. Ask for a full breakdown of commission rates from each lender on their panel before you commit.

Do brokers have access to all banks and lenders, or just some? expand_more

No broker in New Zealand has access to every lender in the market. Most work with a panel of around 10 to 20 lenders, which may include registered banks, non-bank lenders, and specialist lenders, depending on which aggregator group they belong to. Some panels lean heavily toward mainstream banks, which matters if your income situation is non-standard or your deposit is smaller, since specialist and non-bank lenders often have more flexible criteria. Ask any broker upfront for their full lender list and consider approaching at least one lender directly so you have a comparison point.

What can a broker do that I couldn't do going direct to a bank? expand_more

Brokers bring knowledge of which lenders are currently approving borrowers in your situation, which saves you the risk of a declined application damaging your credit file. Reviews show brokers regularly helping clients who had already been turned away by multiple banks or had complex income structures, and then securing approvals within days. Beyond access, brokers handle the paperwork, prepare the application to meet each lender's current appetite, and negotiate on rate and cashback, tasks that take significant time and expertise to do well on your own.

What are the warning signs of a mortgage broker you shouldn't use? expand_more
  • –Calls scheduled at one time but happening hours late, with no proactive explanation, signals poor organisation at a stage where timing matters.
  • –If a broker is vague about which banks they have approached or cannot tell you where your application currently sits, that is a problem.
  • –Brokers who are uncontactable on weekends or during conditional periods create serious risk when settlement deadlines are tight.
  • –Rudeness or impatience when you ask basic questions about interest rates or process is a clear sign to walk away.
  • –Any broker who has not asked for your financial documents well into the process has likely not started your application.
  • –A broker who dismisses a property outright without exploring options may have limited lender access and not be telling you so.
What should you ask before choosing a mortgage broker? expand_more
  • –Ask how many lenders are on their panel and whether it includes non-bank and specialist lenders, not just the main banks.
  • –Ask how they are paid and what commission they receive from each lender they are likely to recommend for your situation.
  • –Ask how long the process typically takes from first meeting to pre-approval, and what causes delays.
  • –Ask who handles your paperwork and application preparation, and whether you will deal with the same person throughout or be handed to junior staff.
  • –Ask how they will keep you updated and how quickly they respond to questions outside business hours.
  • –Ask whether they have worked with borrowers in a similar situation to yours, such as first home buyers, investors, or people with non-standard income.
