What does a mortgage broker do, and how are they different from a bank?
‍A mortgage broker acts as an independent intermediary between you and a range of lenders. Unlike a bank, which can only offer its own products, a mortgage broker like North Coast Lending has access to over 50 lenders — including major banks, credit unions and non-bank lenders — and finds the loan that best suits your specific situation. North Coast Lending is not owned by or affiliated with any bank, so their advice is genuinely independent.

How much does it cost to use North Coast Lending?
‍North Coast Lending's home loan broking service is completely free to you. They are paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles, and this commission is disclosed upfront so there are no surprises. You get access to expert advice and a wide panel of lenders at no out-of-pocket cost.

What areas does North Coast Lending service?
‍North Coast Lending is based in Coffs Harbour, NSW, and services clients across the entire Coffs Coast region — from Macksville and Nambucca in the south, through Coffs Harbour, up to Woolgoolga in the north, and inland to Dorrigo and Armidale. They also assist clients across Australia, so wherever you're located, the team can help.

How many lenders does North Coast Lending have access to?
‍North Coast Lending works with a panel of over 50 lenders, including major banks, second-tier banks, credit unions and specialist non-bank lenders. This means they can compare a wide range of home loan, business loan and equipment finance options to find the most suitable product for your needs.

How experienced is the North Coast Lending team?
‍The North Coast Lending team has a combined experience of over 130 years in the finance industry. The team includes specialists in home loans, business finance, SMSF lending, equipment finance, agribusiness and commercial property. Several brokers are also deeply embedded in the local Coffs Coast community.
