Professional, helpful and patient!
Always happy to take time out to discuss our situation and offered suggestions based on personal experience but also past applications on how best to move forward to achieve our desired result.
Even when our requests weren't always simple or straight forward, Yvonne always gave us the opportunity to explore these options and put her best foot forward on our… behalf.
Trust, empathy and communication is key in being able to best represent a client and we could not be happier with the way in which Yvonne and Rosemary looked after us.
We cannot speak highly enough and happy to recommend Yvonne and the team at First Rate Mortgages."Rating by: Juliana | Rating posted: 5th Jul | Contact: Yvonne Revell | Job date: Jun, 2021Juliana•5th Jul•More details…

100%"Rosemary is simply the ideal broker to have helped us secure a mortgage for our latest move. She easily took us through the mortgage process step by step with a perfect amount of communication (calls and emails), quick replies to our emailed questions and best of all, pre-empting our questions. All that plus a friendly personality made the experience a lot more comfortable than what we initially expected."Rating by: Ian | Rating posted: 22nd Jun | Contact: Rosemary Miller | Job date: Jun, 2021Ian•22nd Jun•More details…

100%"“Having just completed our first application using First Rate Mortgages…we are super impressed with Danielle, her efficiency and ability to support as if we were her sole customer. Danielle had us trusting her from the start with her professionalism and intricate knowledge of our application at all times. With Danielle’s experience and knowledge, we achieved a non-bank lending solution supported by a first tier mortgage to secure an investment property. All of which was completed remotely… and with far more ease that we have ever experienced.
We'll head to Danielle and the team at First Rate Mortgages by default as this has been stress free, and they have blitzed all expectations!
If there is a chance to refer, First Rate Mortgages is my pick!”"Rating by: Christian | Rating posted: 3rd Dec, 2020 | Contact: Christian | Job date: Dec, 2020Christian •3rd Dec, 2020•More details…

I had a live deal with not much time left before unconditional date in a home I was very passionate about. Amanda got in touch with me very soon after my email, and was absolutely wonderful the entire time I dealt with her. I gave her a huge challenge with barely any time and she worked her magic and I got my house! I am so so very thankful for Amanda, without her, I would not have my home… that I now am in. She constantly communicated with me and kept me up to date the entire time. I highly recommend her service.

100%"From the very beginning I felt that Rosemary and the team genuinely wanted to make this happen for us. She shopped around for the best deal and we even managed to get a great interest rate. Not only have we been able to start fresh by consolidating our other debts, we are finally on the property ladder. It would not have been possible without the help from First Rate/Non-Bank Mortgages.
Home Ownership seemed like such an unattainable dream, but here we are now, First Home Owners with the help… of a Non-bank lender!
Thank you so much Rosemary & Yvonne.
For those of you seeking to engage in a non-bank or even a bank lender for your Home Loan, it helps a lot if you are organised with your own documents.
Make sure you have your payslips, debt statements, ID, KiwiSaver letters etc all in order. This helps to speed up the process for your broker, so they can work on getting you that approval!"Rating by: Ngahi | Rating posted: 26th Aug, 2020 | Contact: Rosemary Miller | Job date: Aug, 2020Ngahi•26th Aug, 2020•More details…

But danielle said my situation was tricky but possible,so i kept my fingers crossed and in the end i was approved for a mortgage.I was so happy and danielle… genuinely appeared to be chuffed for me too.I appreciate the help from first rate mortgages,i now have my own home and security for my children and i."Rating by: fiona | Rating posted: 17th Jun, 2020 | Contact: Danielle Happy | Job date: Jun, 2020fiona•17th Jun, 2020•More details…

100%"My husband and I would like to say a huge thank you to Rosemary Miller for her support with helping us to refinance our home so we could clear accumulated debt from our past.
We started our journey with Rosemary in the 18th March. We submitted all our information and then the country went into Level 4 lockdown.
During the lockdown period Rosemary continued to touch base with us ensuring we were set up to proceed once we come out of lockdown.
Rosemary was prompt with following up our… queries and coming back with clarification.
Right up to settlement day Rosemary was in contact with us including this week Rosemary called to ensure we were fine and told me she would continue to touch base with us over the next year.
It is such an enjoyable experience to come across a person who is genuinely interested in the well being of her client.
My husband and I highly recommend Rosemary as an excellent Mortgage Broker from First Rate Mortgages.

About us
NonBk Ltd is all about providing information on Non Bank lending solutions and operates alongside First Rate Mortgages Ltd, which was one of the first mortgage broker firms in New Zealand to offer both Bank and Non Bank financial advice on first and second mortgages. Kim Lyons, who started mortgage broking in 1999 after leaving ANZ Bank, quickly recognised the need to promote Non Bank lending information to the New Zealand public, to let them know that their Bank Manager does not hold all the strings, there are other options. The first website was also launched, www.nonbank.co.nz, dedicated totally to providing you with Non Bank lending information to help you, when your bank or current lender says NO! Non Bank lending gives you more options if you are looking for low deposit home loans, home loans with bad credit, have hard to prove income, if you need help refinancing, possibly due to a mortgagee sale, or for second mortgages and commercial property finance.
The terms "Non Bank", "Non-Bank", "NonBank" or "Bank Alternative" simply refers to those lenders who are involved in the business of providing finance, both first and second mortgages, but are not the traditional registered banks like ANZ, ASB, HSBC, Kiwibank, Bank of New Zealand, TSB & Westpac.
Our mortgage broking firm First Rate Mortgages Ltd deals with many Non Bank lenders who are more flexible when structuring loans or mortgages so that they fit the purpose you need them for, rather than complying with the policy of a faceless back-office credit department that you have no opporrtunity to meet r even phone. The Non Bank lending website now assists hundreds of people achieve their financial goals.
Whilst our mortgage brokers are based in Auckland, we deal with Non Bank clients & lenders all over New Zealand and have the benefit of being able to present your loan direct to the decision makers. We are then able to explain any challenges you are facing, such as gifted deposits, bad credit, hard-to-prove income, and missed repayments, rather than you trying to negotiate your own way through layers of bureaucracy.
Our call to action is simply "Non Bank, where you go when your Bank says NO!"
What we do
We totally understand that life has financial ups an downs, or speed bumps. Missed payments, dishonours, irregular income, gifted deposit, even mortgagee sales, are all terms we are familiar with, we so often get feed back that a clients existing Bank Manager or broker said "yeah na, we don't do that"
Well we do our best to say YES!
Two of our key goals is to help first home buyers buy their own home and also work with home owners who need help refinancing and consolidating debts.
Non Bank, where you go when your Bank says NO!
