How we work

How we work and what it costs

Six pathways, from first home to annual review, set out step by step. Residential broking is lender paid, and we show the commission on every option.

01How we are paid

The lender pays us. The figure is written down before you choose.

For residential lending, nothing is charged to you. The lender you choose pays us a commission, made up of an upfront amount when the loan settles and an ongoing trail amount for as long as you keep the loan. We show you exactly what that commission is on every option we put in front of you, in writing, before you decide anything.

The one exception is a small number of commercial and short-term deals, where a fee is quoted and agreed with you in writing before any work starts. If a pathway carries a fee, it is stated plainly on that service's own page and again here.
