How does one actually go about getting a mortgage? Once upon a time there were few options, you rock up to your bank and apply for a loan and cross your fingers that they’d offer you a loan and interest rates would stay reasonable over the coming years. Now, things have changed and there are a plethora of mortgage lenders ranging from banks, building societies and specific mortgage lending organizations. The market place for mortgage customers has become far more competitive which means that banks and financial institutions are continually competing with new packages, specials, rates and offers to entice new customers. Whilst this means that there are far more attractive loan options for the home purchaser, there is also a lot more homework that needs to be done to determine which home loan is right for your financial situation and which will offer the best deal in the long term. This is where using a mortgage broker can help do some of the leg work for you. Mortgage brokers can help you find out about suitable loans and arrange special deals. Of course, you should still check up on the deals that they find for your long term security. Always remember that most brokers offer only a limited range of loans. They get paid a commission and some may receive other benefits from the lender as well. Mortgage brokers are not financial advisers, and are not obliged to find you the best possible deal unless they specifically agree to do so.
The other option is to use the power of the internet. CANNEX is a website that is dedicated to help people decipher the nitty-gritty of what loans are currently on offer from a range of popular Australian financial lenders. CANNEX lets you search for loans according to the type you need, and find the cheapest one. This site is free, independent and used by the industry professionals because its research is widely considered to be thorough and up to date. CANNEX also offers links, where available, direct to the lender so you can read the fine print.
Another good source for research information is by flicking through recent financial magazines, brochures and publications dedicated to mortgages, property investment or money matters. They can show you what the going rates are for various loans, and then you're much more likely to find the best loan for you. Shop around and visit a few different lenders. Most lenders will make periodic special offers as well as their standard deals so check for advertisements in papers, instore and on websites.
