Mortgage Broker Thorndon
Thorndon is character houses on the hill and a smaller number of apartments closer to the city and the station.
Mortgage advice for Thorndon
A villa here often has alterations, a steep site, or a garage cut into the bank. Unconsented work and access for a truck belong in the file before a lender treats the whole property as ordinary security.
Buyers compare Thorndon with an apartment in the CBD and a house further out in Karori or Johnsonville. The commute is shorter. The title and the insurance are not simpler.
We meet Thorndon 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.
Older houses, and what was consented
An older house in Thorndon often has a kitchen, a loft, or a deck that went in without a full consent trail. Unconsented work, old wiring, or a roof an insurer will load belongs in the deposit conversation. The building report is part of the lending file.
People comparing Thorndon usually also look at Wellington CBD, Newtown, Karori, and Johnsonville. Each of those has its own page. The adviser is the same. The property is not.
What to have ready
The title if you have it, and any consent paperwork you already know about. If a renovation is underway, say what is finished and what is not.
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.
