Mortgage Broker Botany
Botany is the town centre: apartments and units by the shops, with houses in the streets around them.
Mortgage advice for Botany
A unit by the centre needs the body corporate or the residents' society fee. A house in Botany Downs or Dannemora is a separate file. Say which one is on the agreement.
Flat Bush new builds are the other search people run from here. A finished Botany house and an off-the-plan Flat Bush terrace do not share a timeline.
Appointments for Botany are by video with an adviser from our Paraparaumu team. We are FMA licensed (FSP665511), independent of any one bank, and we compare 16+ lenders. Mortgage advice is free to you. The lender pays a commission when the loan settles.
Say what you are actually buying
Tell us what you are actually buying in Botany. A house on its own section, an apartment with a body corporate, and a place with a commercial use do not go to the same lender on the same terms. The rate comparison comes after that, not before.
People comparing Botany usually also look at Botany Downs, Dannemora, Golflands, and Flat Bush. Each of those has its own page. The adviser is the same. The property is not.
What to have ready
Tell us the use of the property in the first message: home, rental, or commercial. If there is a lease in place, the rent and the term are part of the file.
Photo ID, recent payslips, or two years of financial statements if you are self-employed. A list of debts, including buy-now-pay-later and the limit on a card you clear every month. A KiwiSaver statement if that balance is the deposit. You do not need a sale and purchase agreement to start.

Compared before anyone picks a bank
Major banks and specialist funders. The name on the recommendation is the one that fits the application, not the one with the loudest rate.
