FAQ

• What is the difference between a bank and a mortgage broker?

A mortgage broker works with many lenders — not just one bank — to find the best home loan options suited to your needs.

• What are the advantages of using a mortgage broker like Buildora Capital?

You get expert guidance, access to a wide range of home loan products, help through every step of the loan process, and support in finding the right loan for your situation.

• Should I get pre-approval before looking to buy a home?

Yes — pre-approval clarifies how much you can borrow and gives you confidence when making offers on properties.

• What is a comparison rate?

The comparison rate shows both the interest rate and most fees together, helping you compare the true cost of different loans.

• What’s the difference between fixed rate, variable rate and line of credit loans?

Fixed rates stay the same for a set period; variable rates can change and offer flexibility with features like redraw and offset accounts; a line of credit lets you borrow up to an approved limit, paying interest only on what you use.

• What is bridging finance?

Bridging finance helps you buy a new home while you’re selling your existing one — it temporarily covers both loans until the sale settles.

• Does lending capacity vary among lenders?

Yes — different lenders assess your borrowing power using different criteria, so your capacity can vary from one lender to another.

• Do I need a conveyancer or solicitor?

We recommend using a conveyancer or solicitor to manage the legal aspects of your property purchase, ensuring a smooth settlement.

• What is Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?

LMI protects the lender if you have a smaller deposit — usually when borrowing more than 80% of the property value. It doesn’t protect you, but may allow you to borrow sooner.

• Can help with construction home loans?

Yes — Buildora Capital can guide you on how construction loans work and what’s required to finance building your home
