Step 1.

  • Initial discussion with our mortgage adviser

    After a quick chat, we'll assess your financial situation and borrowing options from various NZ lenders. We'll also guide you through the mortgage process, ensuring you're comfortable and confident every step of the way. Each bank evaluates loans differently, and we’ll pinpoint the best lender for your needs.

Step 2.

  • Application & Approval

    If we can help, we’ll dive into a detailed financial review. We’re flexible—whether it’s face-to-face, over the phone, or online, we meet at your convenience. Once we gather everything, BRM handles the applications and negotiates with lenders for you. If approved, we’ll guide you through the build funding process; if not, we’ll create a plan for future success. From start to finish, we ensure smooth progress payments and structure your loan to fit your goals, negotiating discounts and cash contributions where possible.

Step 3.

  • Post Settlement Care

    Gone are the days of setting a mortgage and forgetting it. At BRM, we ensure your loan stays optimized with regular reviews, interest rate negotiations, and re-fixing. Active management is key to minimizing interest and shortening repayment terms, keeping your mortgage cost-effective in the long run.

Mortgage FAQs

Got questions about what some of these mortgage terms are? Check out our frequently asked questions below!

  • Table Loan

    This is the most common type of home loan. Most lenders will allow a maximum term of 30 years. Most of your repayments in the early stages of your loan pay off the interest while most of your repayments in later stages of your loan pay off the principal (the original amount borrowed).

    You can take a table loan with a fixed rate of interest or a floating rate.

  • Interest Only Mortgages

    You pay the interest-only part of your loan and none of the loan itself, so the payments are lower and can make it easier on your cash flow. It is quite common to take an interest-only loan for a year or two and then switch to a table loan after that.

  • What are Revolving Credit Loans?

    Revolving credit loans work like a giant overdraft. You pay can go directly onto your loan account and bills are paid out of the loan account when they’re due. By keeping your loan balance as low as possible as often as possible means, you pay less interest because lenders calculate interest daily.


    You can make lump sum repayments onto your loan and re-draw any money up to your pre-approved limit.


    This takes a highly disciplined borrower because there is the risk of always drawing back to your limit and never repaying the original loan amount.

  • A Redraw Facility

    This is similar to a Revolving Credit facility where you have the flexibility to redraw any extra repayments you have made on your loan, but the safety net that your maximum loan facility reduces over a period of time to make sure you repay all the loan at the end of the loan term.


    Any extra repayments you make on your loan will help reduce your interest charges and therefore save you a substantial amount of interest over the long term.


    Any extra repayments you make will be available for you to redraw at any time without penalty.

  • Fixed Rate

    This is when you fix your interest rate for a period of time and can be from 6 months up to 5 years.  Some lenders may offer other options but these are the most common.


    The benefit is that your repayment is fixed and provides certainty for that period of time.

    If interest rates move down, your repayment does not as it is fixed for that period of time.  However, if interest rates go up, your repayment does not either.


    Keep in mind that if you are at a fixed rate and choose to repay your loan while you are still in your fixed rate period, there may be penalties charged to you by the lender.

  • Floating Rate

    This is where your loan moves with the current interest rate market.  So if interest rates go down, so does your repayment, and if interest rates go up, so does your repayment.


    Floating rate loans provide a little more flexibility and should you decide to repay your loan, there should be no penalties for do so while you are on a floating rate loan.
