Wellington's independent mortgage broker
Helping Wellington-region home buyers, refinancers, investors and business owners find the right loan across 30+ NZ lenders — without the bank-branch script.
We're a NZ-owned mortgage and lending firm serving clients across greater Wellington — from the city to the Hutt Valley, Porirua, Kāpiti and the Wairarapa. The mortgage market shifts fast; the difference between a sharp deal and the wrong one usually comes down to knowing which lender has the appetite for your particular situation.
13+ years of NZ banking experience means we know exactly how each lender's credit team thinks — so we don't waste your time on applications that won't fly.

Wellington-region context
City vs Hutt vs Porirua pricing dynamics, public-sector income assessment, and which banks are comfortable with non-CBD investment properties.
Phone, video, or in person
Most clients prefer evening calls or quick video meetings. If you'd rather meet face-to-face, our Boulcott office is on the rail line and an easy drive from anywhere in the region.
End-to-end relationship
Same adviser from first chat through to settlement — and every fixed-term refix after. No handoffs, no chasing different account managers.
Lending we arrange for Wellington clients
About working with us locally
01Are you based in Wellington?+
Our office is in Boulcott, Lower Hutt — a 20-minute drive from Wellington CBD and on the rail line. We work with clients across the wider Wellington region: city, Hutt Valley, Porirua, Kāpiti Coast, Wairarapa. Most appointments are by phone or video so you don't need to travel.
02How does a Wellington mortgage broker save me money?+
Most home buyers walk into their existing bank — and that bank gives them one rate. We compare offers from 30+ NZ lenders (banks and non-banks) and shortlist the structures most likely to suit. A 25 basis point difference on a $700k loan over 25 years is over $30,000 in interest.
03What kind of clients do you typically work with?+
First home buyers using KiwiSaver, families refinancing as a fixed term rolls, self-employed borrowers, investors expanding their portfolio, and businesses needing working capital or commercial property finance. Wellington has a strong professional services and public-sector workforce — we're used to assessing income that doesn't fit a simple PAYE template.
04Do you charge a fee?+
No. Lender brokerage covers our fee on successful settlement. Our advice is independent — we recommend the structure that suits your situation, not the lender that pays us most.
05How quickly can I get pre-approved?+
Straightforward owner-occupier applications: 3–5 business days once we have your documentation. Complex situations (self-employed, multiple properties, recent role change) take longer — we set expectations on day one and chase the lender to keep things moving.
