Frequently Asked Questions

A mortgage broker helps you understand your borrowing options, compare suitable loan products from available lenders and navigate the application process through to settlement.


At UrbanCrest, we take the time to understand your circumstances and goals before discussing potential loan options.


A broker can help you compare lending options across available lenders rather than limiting your search to a single institution.


We can also help you understand differences in loan features, fees, repayment structures and lending criteria, and assist with the application process.


Your potential borrowing position depends on factors such as your income, expenses, existing debts, deposit or available equity, employment circumstances and the lender's assessment criteria.


Our Borrowing Power Calculator can provide an indicative starting point, but it isn't a credit approval or personalised assessment.
