About

It's no secret that many Australian's retire with just enough in their super to pay out their remaining mortgage and need to watch their pennies for the rest of their life. Our aim is to change people's mindsets, to show them what's possible and set them up to achieve a life and lifestyle they're proud of.

The Finance Architect is a mortgage brokerage committed to helping everyday Australians avoid retiring broke by encouraging them to dream big and be educated on how to pay off their family home and safely utilise leverage to build a passive income through property investing.

We love teaching and educating and get an enormous thrill from seeing our clients dreams become reality.

So no matter what your existing ideas around money are, we'll work with you and help you with debt reduction, wealth creation and lifestyle strategies that allow you to live the life you choose and not the life that chose you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much deposit do I need?

The notion that a 20% deposit is mandatory is a misconception. Depending on your circumstances, the minimum deposit is often just 5%. We will advise you on the required deposit during your initial appointment with us. If you have a family guarantor, it may even be possible to buy property with no deposit at all. Feel free to contact us for more information.

What's the best interest rate?

The best interest rate varies from person to person based on individual circumstances. A larger deposit and borrowing less than 80% of the property value can help secure more favourable rates. However, the interest rate is just one of several factors we consider when making recommendations. Other factors include lending products, service quality, turnaround times, flexibility, and lender policies. Our goal is to ensure our clients don't overpay, so we frequently request better pricing from lenders during regular loan reviews.

How long does it take to secure loan approval?

This varies. We can expedite the application process as much as you can, but the timeline ultimately depends on your chosen lender. Some lenders can process applications within hours, while others may take anywhere from 3 to 14 business days. Bank turnaround times can occasionally influence our recommendations, especially if you have a specific timeframe in mind.

Why Choose a Mortgage Broker Over a Bank?

In brief, it's all about choice (with access to 50+ lenders), service (our unwavering commitment to supporting you, not just for the immediate transaction but also your long-term goals and objectives), and advice (our expert guidance tailored to your unique needs). Banks simply can't compete with our offerings. Moreover, we are obligated to act in your best interests, in line with the recently introduced Best Interest Duty (BID), a requirement that banks cannot fulfill.

We don't reside in Victoria. Can you still assist us?

Absolutely, no problem. Our services are entirely digital, and our appointments are primarily conducted online. We have clients from all over Australia, and even some based overseas, so your location poses no hindrance.

Is it genuinely possible to pay off my loan in 10 years?

Absolutely! Like anything worthwhile, it requires commitment and sacrifice, but the prospect of being debt-free in a decade sounds appealing, doesn't it?
