We're here to help you sort your mortgage
We’ll assess your situation and provide you with expert advice on how to structure your mortgage, reduce your payments and ultimately become mortgage-free faster. We’ll also answer those niggly questions, like:
- What’s the lowest interest rate in market?
- Fix or float, or a combination of both?
- Which bank is best for me?
- Can I avoid break fees?
- How much could I be saving?
Best of all, in most cases there is no cost to you because we get paid by the banks.
We arrange about $3 billion of home loans per year, working with all the major banks.

Do it all online, in your pyjamas if you like, or pop in to meet with your adviser. We'll even make you a coffee. Whatever way you prefer, you’ll receive personal, impartial advice from your adviser and you’ll get a great mortgage rate too.

Always very easy to deal with and get things sorted. They do really take the hassle out of sorting and arranging to get my mortgage put together. It does feel like they are actually interested in helping and followed up after to make sure it was all good.

All eyes on interest rates: Key OCR dates to watch for in 2026 & 2027
The OCR has officially started its transition from stimulatory to more 'neutral' territory, as the RBNZ seeks to strike a careful balancing act between getting inflation under control and supporting our economic recovery. Here are the key OCR to watch out for over the rest of 2026 and into 2027.
OCR & interest rates update - September 2026
The Reserve Bank increased the OCR by 0.25% on 2 September, taking us up to 2.75%. It's still having to strike a careful balance—between managing inflation and supporting our economic recovery—but the path ahead looks to be a slow and measured one. Here's what happened, and what it means for NZ borrowers and interest rates.
