Mortgage Broker Wellington CBD
The CBD is apartments, from small investor units to larger places an owner will live in, with some leasehold among the freehold titles.
Mortgage advice for Wellington CBD
Body corporate levies, the size of the unit, and whether the title is leasehold all change the lender list. A freehold apartment you will live in and a leasehold unit aimed at short stays are different applications.
Bring the disclosure if you have already picked a building. If you are still deciding between the city and a house in a neighbouring suburb, pre-approval can cover both while the building question waits.
We meet Wellington CBD 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 Wellington CBD, 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 Wellington CBD usually also look at Thorndon, Newtown, Karori, and Johnsonville. 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.
