What we offer?

We can help tailor a solution to your needs with interest-only and capitalised interest loans available. Our BDMs will work with you throughout the entire loan application process. We also have BDMs who are experts in the construction lending field, who can partner with you through the application process and have a good understanding of some of the complexities that may arise.

Being a non-bank, we are flexible and agile, and we understand a speedy turnaround is important, so we aim to have loans settled quickly and if we can’t help, we will let you know quickly, so can seek finance elsewhere.

We have BDMs in Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington and Christchurch and we provide a nationwide service. We offer a local service in these areas and our team have relationships and good understanding of the local area which can really help with the application process.

What we review and a checklist of documents that we may need to support your application:

  • Fully completed, signed & dated application (including signed Applicant’s & Guarantor’s Agreements)
  • Commentary regarding the purpose of the loan, term required, & intended exit strategy
  • Documentation to support identification & NZ Residency / Citizenship status
  • Verification of income (recent payslips / Employment Agreement / IR3 / signed financials or similar)
  • Registered Valuation (addressed to First Mortgage Custodians Limited)
  • Evidence to support the origin of your contribution to the proposed deal (source of deposit funds etc)
  • Trust Deed(s) – if applicable
  • Sale & Purchase Agreement(s) – if applicable
  • Tenancy Agreement(s) – if applicable

Our team can talk you through the details once the application process starts. Or if you are dealing with a broker or mortgage adviser, we can talk to them.
