I met Mario through my work practices and noted he was a finance broker. I never had an ongoing personal broker before as I never found a good one to trust. I decided to give him a crack and it was one of the better decisions I’ve made in life. He is down to earth, honest, organised, effective and goes over and above to get the best outcome for us. He even attends auctions, open homes and house calls with us and has become part of our inner sanctum. He even laughs at my jokes. I would highly recommend him to anyone who requires finance and property matters. Chris and Tanya

Highly recommend. Mario and his team were a pleasure to deal with. Mario was very knowledgeable on the most suitable finance for me and he made the process so easy. I've since referred Mario to friends, and will definitely use Digilend again.

Common Questions

Why should I use a broker instead of going directly to my bank?

When you go directly to a bank, you are only seeing what that one lender has to offer. A broker like digilend has access to a panel of lenders, which means we can look across multiple options and present you with a range of possibilities that suit your situation. We also understand the lending criteria of different lenders, which means we can help match you with lenders who are more likely to consider your application based on your circumstances. On top of that, we handle a lot of the communication and paperwork on your behalf, which saves you a significant amount of time and effort. Having someone in your corner who understands the process can make a real difference, especially if your situation is not straightforward.

What documents will I need to apply for a loan?

The documents you need can vary depending on the type of loan and your personal circumstances, but there are some common ones that most lenders will ask for. These typically include proof of identity such as a passport or driver's licence, proof of income like recent payslips or tax returns, bank statements showing your savings and spending, details of any existing debts or liabilities, and information about the property if you have already found one. If you are self-employed, you may need to provide additional documents such as business financials. digilend will give you a clear checklist based on your specific situation so you know exactly what to pull together before we get started. Being prepared upfront can help things move along more smoothly.

What is refinancing and should I consider it?

Refinancing means replacing your existing home loan with a new one, either with your current lender or a different one. People refinance for all sorts of reasons. Some want to access the equity they have built up in their property, others want to consolidate debts, and some simply want to review whether their current loan still suits their needs. It is worth noting that refinancing is not always the right move for everyone, and there can be costs involved such as exit fees or application fees for a new loan. digilend can help you look at your current situation and weigh up whether refinancing could make sense for you. We will give you a clear picture so you can make an informed decision.

Can digilend help me if I am self-employed?

Yes, digilend works with self-employed clients regularly. We understand that being your own boss can make the loan application process feel a bit more complicated, because your income might look different on paper compared to someone who receives a regular payslip. Different lenders have different ways of assessing self-employed income, and some are more accommodating than others. We know which lenders are more likely to look favourably at self-employed applicants and what documentation you will typically need to support your application. Things like tax returns, business financials, and bank statements are often part of the picture. We will help you get your paperwork in order and put your best foot forward.

Do I need a large deposit to apply for a home loan?

The deposit required can depend on a number of factors including the lender, the type of loan, and your overall financial situation. A deposit of 20% of the property purchase price is often seen as a common benchmark, but there are options available for people with smaller deposits. Some lenders may accept a lower deposit, though this can sometimes mean additional costs such as lenders mortgage insurance. There are also government schemes that may be worth looking into depending on your eligibility. digilend can help you understand what your deposit situation means for your options and what lenders may be willing to consider. We will always give you a clear picture of what is involved.

How long does the home loan process usually take?

The timeline can vary quite a bit depending on your situation, the lender involved, and how quickly documents can be gathered and verified. Generally speaking, getting pre-approval can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, while full approval after you have found a property can take a similar amount of time. Some lenders move quicker than others, and having all your documents ready can help things move along. digilend will keep you updated throughout the process so you always know where things are at. We will also let you know upfront what to expect based on your specific circumstances so you are not left wondering what is happening.

How does digilend get paid?

In most cases, digilend is paid a commission by the lender when a loan is settled. This means that in many situations you do not pay us directly for our broking service. However, we believe it is important that you understand exactly how we are paid and any fees that may apply to your situation before we get started. We are required by law to be transparent about our remuneration, and we take that seriously. We will always explain how we are paid as part of our process so there are no surprises. If you have any questions about this at any point, just ask us and we will walk you through it clearly.
