Zest Mortgage Solutions

Our Brookwater brokerage is led by Melissa Wright and serves home buyers, investors and refinancing clients across Brisbane's western suburbs. We also have a local Flagstone office for in-person consultations.

We begin by discussing the proposed property, buying timetable, income, deposit and existing debts. Borrowing choices should reflect a realistic repayment budget and the client's longer-term financial plans.

For first-home buyers, we explain deposits, transaction expenses, lender documentation and the difference between indicative borrowing assessments, conditional pre-approval and final approval.

Loan comparison involves more than the advertised interest rate. Loan terms, fixed and variable structures, offset features, additional repayments and fees may affect long-term flexibility.

Investment property finance requires consideration of rental income, ownership costs, existing mortgages and future plans. Lenders may treat investment income and property security differently.

When reviewing an existing mortgage, we discuss its outstanding balance, remaining term, repayment features and potential refinancing costs before considering a change of lender.
