We'll help you understand the loan types, grants and incentives to get you into your First Home

Buying your first home means navigating grants, lenders mortgage insurance, and a loan market most people only deal with once. We specialise in guiding first home buyers through it, matching you to lenders from across the market rather than just one bank's own products.

We start by assessing your borrowing capacity, based on your income, credit history and existing commitments, so you know what you can actually afford before you start looking. From there, we help you access competitive rate discounts and check your eligibility for lenders mortgage insurance waivers and first home owner grants.

Stamp duty exemptions and concessions vary by state, and they can significantly reduce your upfront costs. We'll walk you through what applies to you and manage the paperwork for any grants you're eligible for.

Once you're ready, we manage your pre-approval and application from start to finish, so you can make offers on properties with confidence and know your application is in good shape.

Luke from BetterLend did an excellent job of helping us with our mortgage. Luke provided us with all the information we needed, explained all of our options and made it very easy to get our home loan assessed and approved. His communication is both professional and knowledgeable, making the mortgage aspect of the home buying process smooth and stress-free!

Shane Ducksbury

My partner and I just bought our first home, and we truly couldn't have done it without Luke! From the very beginning, he was incredibly supportive, patient, and knowledgeable—always taking the time to explain every step of the mortgage process in a way that made us feel confident and informed. He helped us navigate everything from pre-approval to settlement with ease, and was always quick to respond to questions, even outside regular business hours. We’re so grateful for his guidance and can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced mortgage broker. Thanks again!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a mortgage broker actually do?

Luke will help you understand your borrowing options, compare suitable loans from his panel of lenders and manage your application through to settlement. He’ll handle the lender discussions, paperwork and follow-up while keeping you informed at every stage.

Why use a mortgage broker instead of going directly to a bank?

A bank can only offer its own products. Luke can compare options from a panel of banks and non-bank lenders, giving you a broader view of what may suit your circumstances. As a mortgage broker, Luke is legally required to act in your best interests when providing credit assistance.

Can you help First Home Buyers?

We love helping First Home Buyers! We're experts at the entire process and can help you get the right Home Loan. We're also across the various schemes to help First Home Buyers such as the First Home Owners Grant and the various stamp duty exemptions available.

Can Luke find me the lowest interest rate?

The lowest advertised rate isn’t always the lowest-cost or most suitable loan. Luke will compare interest rates alongside fees, loan features, lending criteria and flexibility. He’ll explain the available options and why a particular loan may be appropriate for your circumstances and goals.

What’s involved in refinancing a home loan?

Luke will begin by reviewing your current loan, interest rate, repayments and goals. He’ll then compare suitable alternatives and explain the potential benefits, fees and switching costs. If you decide to proceed, Luke will prepare the application, coordinate any valuation, manage the approval and discharge process, and keep you updated through to settlement.

What happens during my first appointment?

Luke will take the time to understand your goals, income, expenses, existing debts, deposit and future plans. From there, he can estimate your borrowing capacity and explain the next steps. It helps to have recent income documents, bank statements and details of your current debts, but you don’t need everything prepared before the first conversation.
