Australia-wide mortgage broker
Mortgage guidance wherever you are in Australia
You do not need to live near your mortgage broker. Find A Better Rate provides phone and video appointments for eligible borrowers across Australia, with a structured process for buying, refinancing, investing or preparing an application.
Phone and video appointments across Australia
The short answer
Can a mortgage broker help me interstate?
Yes. Mortgage applications, identity checks and supporting documents can usually be handled electronically, while phone and video appointments keep the advice personal. Your property location still matters because state duties, grants, contracts, valuations and some lender policies differ.
A complete lending review
National lender access, location-aware preparation
The finance assessment may be national, but buying costs and property considerations are local. We keep those two parts connected before an application is submitted.
- Phone and video appointments scheduled around your location and availability
- Home buying, refinancing, investment and self-employed lending support
- Clear comparison of lender policy, repayments, fees and loan features
- Electronic document collection and progress updates through to settlement
Your property
Apartments, regional homes, acreage, construction and properties in smaller markets can attract different valuation or lender requirements.
Your income
Salary, overtime, allowances, contract work and business income need to be matched with a lender policy that can verify them appropriately.
Your full cost
Deposit is only one part of the plan. Include duty, legal costs, inspections, insurance, lender fees and a sensible post-settlement buffer.
Online, but personal
How an interstate mortgage appointment works
Meet by phone or video to discuss your goals, income, commitments, deposit or equity and preferred timing.
Compare suitable lender policies, repayments, fees and loan features, then prepare the evidence required.
Complete the application electronically and stay informed through approval, valuation and settlement.
Common questions
Straight answers for borrowers across Australia
Do I need to meet my mortgage broker in person?
No. The discovery meeting, document collection, comparison and application process can generally be completed by phone, video and secure electronic systems.
Can you help in every Australian state and territory?
Find A Better Rate can assist eligible borrowers Australia-wide. Service is provided remotely from Melbourne, and the lender, property and borrower must still meet applicable requirements.
Are home-loan rates different between states?
Many advertised lender rates are national, but postcode, property type, valuation, loan purpose and lender appetite can affect eligibility and pricing. State duties and grants are separate from the interest rate.
Can you help with an interstate investment property?
Yes. The assessment can cover borrowing capacity, equity, rental income, expenses and lender policy. Obtain independent tax and legal advice about ownership structure and local obligations.
What documents will I need?
Common documents include identification, income evidence, bank statements, details of debts and living expenses, deposit or equity evidence and property documents. Requirements depend on the applicant and lender.
