Home Loans Melbourne — Compare Rates from 60+ Lenders

Whether you're buying your dream home or refinancing to a better rate, Finseek compares home loan options across 60+ lenders to find the right fit for Melbourne borrowers.

A mortgage broker compares home loans from multiple lenders on your behalf — typically 30 to 60 or more. This means you're more likely to find a competitive rate and features that match your needs than by going to a single bank. Finseek compares 60+ lenders at no cost to you.

Home Loan Services for Melbourne Borrowers

Most people go straight to their bank when they need a home loan. The problem is that your bank only offers their own products. As a Melbourne mortgage broker, we compare home loans from over 60 lenders — including the major banks, credit unions, and specialist lenders — to find a loan that fits your situation.

Should You Refinance Your Home Loan?

If your home loan is more than 12 months old, there's a good chance you're paying more than you need to. Lenders often reserve their best rates for new customers. A quick review with a broker could save you thousands each year — and we handle the entire refinancing process at no cost to you.

Why Use a Mortgage Broker for Your Home Loan?

A mortgage broker works for you, not the bank. We compare options from across the market, explain the pros and cons of each, and handle the paperwork. In Australia, around 70% of home loans are now arranged through brokers — because borrowers get better outcomes when someone is working in their corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I borrow for a home loan in Melbourne?
Your borrowing capacity depends on your income, expenses, existing debts, and the lender's assessment criteria. As a rough guide, most lenders will lend between 5 and 7 times your annual income, but this varies. A free consultation with Finseek can give you a more accurate picture.
How much deposit do I need to buy a home in Melbourne?
Most lenders require at least 5% deposit, though 20% is ideal to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). Some first home buyers may qualify for the Home Guarantee Scheme, which allows purchases with as little as 5% deposit and no LMI.
What is the difference between fixed and variable home loans?
A fixed rate locks in your interest rate for a set period (usually 1 to 5 years), giving you certainty over repayments. A variable rate can change at any time based on market conditions, but often comes with more flexible features like offset accounts and unlimited extra repayments.
How long does home loan approval take?
Pre-approval typically takes 1 to 5 business days. Full (unconditional) approval after you've found a property usually takes 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the lender and complexity of your application.
Does refinancing cost anything?
Refinancing may involve some costs such as discharge fees from your current lender and government registration fees. However, the savings from a lower rate often far outweigh these costs. We'll calculate the breakeven point for you during your consultation.
Is a mortgage broker free to use?
Yes. Finseek's service is free for borrowers. The lender pays our commission when your loan settles. We disclose all commissions before you proceed.
