Luke was amazing helping me buy my first property, from our initial chat and chatting about my circumstances and next steps right through to settlement! Luke was always happy to answer my questions, talk through the process and give me all the options, and made a process I had no idea about as seamless as possible. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

We have dealt with Luke from Premier Path Finance on numerous occasions for purchase of properties and refinances. Luke is very responsive and nothing is too much trouble. He has his clients’ best interest at heart! Every dealing has been a smooth and stress free transaction and we would not even consider engaging anyone else in the future. Highly recommend!

Luke Owen has been my go-to lending guy for many years. Previously he was with CBA Private Banking. A+ and VIP service. He joined Premier Path in recent years which has been a game changer. It's opened up lots of new possibilities for lending, residential, commercial and SMSF. I've introduced several heavy hitter former C-level employees to Luke and they've always been impressed! The service is even better now that he's not hamstrung by CBAs sometimes onerous rules!

Big shoutout to Michael! He kept in touch with us to understand both our short- and long-term goals, and suggested a product that suited us well. Michael made himself available throughout the journey and helped us make an informed, well-considered decision. I highly recommend Michael if you're looking for a genuine professional service with a holistic and very friendly approach. Ta, Vish.

Could not have asked for a better experience working with my broker Michael throughout the purchase of my new home. He was incredibly switched on at every stage, always on top of things and proactive in keeping everything moving smoothly. His communication was excellent (clear, timely, and easy to understand), and he took the time to explain every step in a way that made the whole process feel straightforward. He was always accessible whenever I had questions, which made a huge difference and gave me real confidence along the way. Overall, a fantastic experience and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone needing a broker.

I would highly recommend Michael Kirk from Premier Path Finance to anyone who is looking for a Home Loan Specialist. He made what is typically the overwhelming experience of getting a home loan an incredibly smooth and painless process. Michael is very professional, supportive and knowledgeable. Wonderful service I wouldn't hesitate recommending Premier Path Finance or using them again myself in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Banks can only offer their own products. At Premier Path Finance, we compare a wide range of lenders to help you find a loan that suits your goals and circumstances.
We do the research, paperwork and negotiations on your behalf, making the process simple, stress-free and easy to understand.
Currently over 80% of loans in Australia are provided through a broker instead of directly at the bank, due to the options a broker can provide.

How much does it cost to use a mortgage broker?

There is no cost to you for using a broker.
We are paid by the lender once your loan settles, which means you won't pay any additional fees and there is no impact on your interest rate or loan terms. Our service is designed to make the process easier by doing the research, comparing lenders and managing the paperwork on your behalf.
With Premier Path Finance, you receive expert advice and support at no extra cost, while we do the hard work for you.

How much can I borrow?

Your borrowing capacity depends on factors including:
• Your income
• Existing debts and expenses
• Deposit amount
• Employment type
• Credit history
We'll assess your situation and help you understand your borrowing power before you start looking for a property.

How much deposit do I need for a home loan?

Many lenders allow eligible borrowers to purchase with as little as a 5% deposit. A larger deposit may provide more lender options and help reduce costs such as Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
We'll guide you through your options and explain exactly what you'll need.

What is home loan pre-approval?

Pre-approval is an indication from a lender of how much you may be able to borrow before you purchase a property.
Pre-approval can help you shop with confidence and understand your budget. We'll manage the entire process and liaise with the lender on your behalf.

How long does the home loan process take?

Timeframes vary depending on the lender and your circumstances. Many approvals are completed within a few days to several weeks.
Our team keeps the process moving and handles the communication with lenders, making everything easier for you.

Can you help first home buyers?

Absolutely.
Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, but we'll guide you through every step. We'll explain the process in plain English, help you understand your borrowing capacity and determine whether you're eligible for grants and concessions.

What government grants are available for first home buyers?

Depending on your circumstances and location, you may be eligible for:
• First Home Owner Grants
• Stamp duty concessions
• Home Guarantee Scheme initiatives
We'll help you understand what support may be available and whether you qualify.

Can I buy a property with a guarantor?

Yes.
A guarantor loan may allow eligible borrowers to purchase with little or no deposit while avoiding LMI.
Using a family guarantee in some cases can cover the full purchase cost of a property, inclusive of stamp duty (105% lend), with identical loan terms to a standard loan.
We'll explain how guarantor loans work and whether they're suitable for your circumstances.

What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?

Lenders Mortgage Insurance is generally required when you borrow more than 80% of the property's value.
LMI protects the lender, not the borrower. The cost varies depending on the size of your loan and deposit. We can help you understand whether it applies and explore options to minimise or avoid it.

Should I refinance my home loan?

Refinancing may help you:
• Lower your interest rate
• Reduce repayments
• Consolidate debts
• Access equity
• Improve loan features
We'll compare lenders and manage the refinancing process from start to finish.

Can I access equity in my home?

Yes.
If your property's value has increased or you've paid down your loan, you may be able to access equity for:
• Renovations
• Investment properties
• Debt consolidation
• Personal expenses
We'll help you understand how much equity may be available and which options suit your goals.

What documents do I need for a home loan?

Common documents include:
• Identification
• Payslips or tax returns
• Bank statements
• Details of existing debts
• Evidence of savings
Don't worry, we'll provide a checklist and guide you through the process.

Can self-employed borrowers get a home loan?

Yes.
We work with lenders who understand self-employed borrowers, business owners and contractors.
Whether you have standard financial statements or require alternative documentation, we'll help find a suitable solution.

Can contractors get a home loan?

Absolutely.
Contractors and self-employed applicants often have different requirements, but there are many lenders that offer flexible lending options.
We'll do the hard work and find a lender that understands your income structure.

Can you help property investors?

Yes.
We assist investors with:
• Investment property loans
• Equity release
• Portfolio growth
• Interest-only lending
• Refinancing existing loans
Whether you're buying your first investment property or expanding your portfolio, we'll help create a strategy that aligns with your goals.

Can I get a home loan with a low deposit?

Yes.
Depending on your circumstances, some lenders offer low-deposit home loans and government schemes may also help eligible buyers enter the market sooner.
We'll explain your options and help you find a pathway into home ownership.

What is the difference between a fixed and variable interest rate?

A fixed rate provides certainty by locking in your interest rate for a set period.
A variable rate can change over time and often offers greater flexibility, including offset accounts and extra repayments.
We'll explain the pros and cons and help you choose the right loan structure.

What is an offset account?

An offset account is a transaction account linked to your home loan.
The balance in the account reduces the amount of interest charged on your loan, potentially helping you save thousands over the life of your mortgage.

What is a construction loan?

A construction loan is designed for people building a new home.
Funds are generally released in stages throughout the building process rather than in one lump sum.
We'll guide you through the process and coordinate with the lender and builder to help everything run smoothly.

What happens on settlement day?

Settlement is when ownership of the property is officially transferred and the loan funds are released.
We work closely with your lender, solicitor and conveyancer to ensure everything runs smoothly and keep you informed every step of the way.

Can I switch lenders?

Yes.
Many borrowers switch lenders to access lower interest rates, better features or improved service.
We'll compare options and manage the transition to make the process easy and hassle-free.

How often should I review my home loan?

We recommend reviewing your home loan every 12 to 24 months or whenever your circumstances change.
Regular reviews can help ensure you're still getting a competitive rate and the right loan features.

Will applying for a loan affect my credit score?

Multiple loan applications can impact your credit file.
That's why we carefully assess your situation first and recommend suitable lenders before submitting an application, helping you avoid unnecessary enquiries.
