Mortgage Broker Petone
Petone mixes apartments and units near the station with houses on the flat and up the hill toward the beach.
Mortgage advice for Petone
Where there is a body corporate, the levies go into the expenses and the building has to be one a lender will consider. A house on the hill does not have that layer. Say which one you are buying.
Petone is the Hutt address people compare with a Wellington apartment. The train is the shared part. The title is not.
We meet Petone clients at home, by video, or at our office at Coastlands in Paraparaumu. 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.
The building is part of the application
In Petone, body corporate levies sit with the other commitments. The disclosure, the minutes, and the building's insurance decide which lenders will look. A very small floor area, a weather-tightness history, or a building used mostly for short stays can shorten that list.
People comparing Petone usually also look at Alicetown, Waterloo, Eastbourne, and Wainuiomata. Each of those has its own page. The adviser is the same. The property is not.
What to have ready
If you already have the body corporate disclosure, the minutes, and the building's insurance, send them through. The first meeting can still start from income and the deposit.
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.
