The Home Loan Shop / Finance and Mortgage Brokers in Wellington CBD

"When I found a house I wanted and needed a mortgage a friend recommended Martin Duncan. I'm very glad I followed their advice. His knowledge, range of contacts and ability to explain complex material helped make buying my first home by myself exciting rather than daunting and stressful as you often read about. I always had all the information I needed to make my decisions and appreciated him chasing up others to ensure everything was settled on time. I highly recommend him."Carolyn•1 day, 19 hours and 9 minutes ago•More details…

"WOW - I cannot recommend Mark at The Home Loan Shop in Lower Hutt highly enough. He helped us go from having a vague idea that we *might* be able to purchase a house, to being fully-fledged, super-stoked first home owners!! Mark was super friendly, professional and went way above and beyond what we thought we'd get from a Mortgage broker. Not only did he secure us finance with great terms, he put us in touch with the A-team of all the other people and services we needed to make it all happen. I… have no idea how we would have purchased our first house without his help. A++ service!!!!"Inga•5 days, 19 hours and 29 minutes ago•More details…

"We have recently purchased a rental property for the first time. We received great service from Callan and Stevie. We first spoke to Callan very early in the process of considering an investment. He provide free and impartial advice that was easy to understand and took away a lot of our anxiety. When the right property came along they provided a fast and efficient service, and facilitated processes that we would otherwise find challenging and time consuming.

The guys keep you updated, and make the whole process easy. Matt has some great insurance advice and has helped us secure a strong policy at a competitive price. Can't… recommend these guys enough."Adam•15th Aug•More details…

He worked quickly and immediately when we needed him, liaising with the banks and helping us do our due diligence on time even when we were often asking for a very… fast turn around. When we finally bought our place, Sloan made sure every step was completed correctly and in good time. We are very grateful for all is help and will definitely go back to him when our mortgage is up for renewal."Miriam•9th Aug•More details…

"Bernie was recommended to us by a friend. As first time home buyers, we had no idea where to start in the whole process of buying a property. Straight off the bat, we found Bernie really easy to talk to, he kept things simple and straight forward. He was always one step ahead, of what needed to be done, and since we were on a very tight time frame, for us this was a real life saver. Bernie was always available for us to call, when we had our repetitive questions, about the same thing over, and… over. He would happily go over the details as many times as we needed , until he was sure we understood. Throughout each step of the process, Bernie always had professional contacts that he personally recommended, with out any obligation to have to use them. Whether we used Bernie's contacts or not, he would always follow up and check, what the various parties were doing for us, and make sure we were happy before moving on. I would guarantee that Bernie has gone ABOVE and BEYOND what would normally be expected from a Mortgage Broker, we would highly recommend Bernie to anyone, such a friendly, easy going guy to talk to, and always professional. Thank you Bernie, Solly & Lou"Solomon & Louise•3rd Jun•More details…

"I returned to Sloan and the Home Loan Shop when I wanted to refinance a few years ago and then most recently purchase an investment property. As usual he was just fantastic - flexible when I needed to change tack, positive, professional and with great attention to detail. He got me a great deal and made it all so very easy. If I need further mortgage assistance I'll be back and I'll definitely recommend Sloan and the Home Loan Shop crew. They're awesome - and the coffee was really appreciated… too!!"Susie•2nd Jun•More details…

"My husband and I recently bought our first house, and Bernie made the whole process so freaking easy! He's super knowledgeable, realistic and encouraging at the same time. He's very transparent with his advice and information - recommendations were just recommendations, and we never felt like we were being pushed to one provider over any others. He was incredibly responsive, so when I had (a lot of) questions, he was always there to answer them by email, phone call or text. I'd highly recommend… Bernie to anyone."Kimberley•31st May•More details…

"Callan was an absolute pleasure to work with. The communication from him and the team—thanks Stevie!— was clear and frequent, which took a lot of the stress out of buying our first house. He is upfront, honest, and very respectful of different circumstances. My sister recommended Callan when buying her first home and I couldn't be happier. I will be recommending Callan to all my friends. We had started our house hunt with a different broker, who was very difficult to deal with—she was… curt, made us feel bad about our limited budget, and gave us no support with navigating the real estate market. Changing was one of the best decisions we made. Callan and Stevie gave us the exact opposite experience. Thank you so much!"Mary•25th May•More details…

"Sloan was knowledgeable, and always willing to discuss the finer points.

"My contact with Bernie as our mortgage broker was a very positive experience. He responded immediately to our needs giving two days notice to apply for a loan. He came back to me within 24 hours with the loan required. Because of his efficiency we were able to purchase our house through auction. He was very explicit about what to offer at the auction and he was exactly accurate because what we offered was accepted."Christine•21st Apr•More details…

Martin secured us an incredibly low interest rate plus a fabulous contribution towards our legal fees. We… are ever so grateful! Such a refreshing experience, thanks again!!"Alannah Rameka•27th Mar•More details…

"I recently purchased an apartment and Sloan assisted with my mortgage. It wasn't straightforward as only some banks lend on the type of apartment I was buying. Sloan was very proactive throughout the whole process and out of all the professionals involved in the whole buying process he was the most helpful. I possibly would have given up without his help. He also got me an exceptionally good interest rate, better than that advertised as being available and frequently checked in with my to… ensure I was on track with what I needed to get done.

Sloan helped us through the whole process, and not just on the financing side, but answering our "we have no idea what we're doing" questions. He made what could have been a terribly stressful situation as easy as possible. Communication was clear and constant, and none of my questions were too stupid!

I highly recommend working with both of them."Macaela•24th Feb•More details…

"This serves to record my recent privilege to have engaged the professional services of Martin Duncan of the Home Loan Shop, Wellington as my Mortgage Broker and general adviser in the pursuit of acquiring my first home. I hardly know where to begin, or indeed how to end, my sincere praise and gratitude to this remarkable man and the Home Loan Shop as a brilliantly run business as a whole. Wandering into the potentially daunting and discouraging minefield of buying my first home, it seemed… an impossible pipe dream, but driven by circumstance and motivated by the worrisome consequences if I did not take the first step, I visited the Home Loan Shop. The name grabbed me, where better to shop for a home loan? After a warm welcome, I found myself almost instantly encouraged by the uplifting professional and friendly attitude of Martin. I had made poor choices over the last several years, choices that if made with better care and wisdom, would have put me in a much healthier fiscal situation. As it stood, my options looked rather gloomy indeed. Martin made no judgements about me when I explained my situation to him, instead he offered solutions, encouragement and inspired me to explore options I had not dared to consider. His naturally sincere and cheerful nature put me at ease whilst discussing my situation and within 5 minutes of talking together, I knew I was in the care of a genuinely interested, helpful, knowledgeable, wise and hugely experienced guide. By the time I left his office after that initial meeting, the minefield had been totally replaced by ladders of hope and possibility – I followed his excellent advice to the letter and great things began to happen. Throughout my consequent journey from that day forth, Martin helped encourage, advise and guide me through a myriad of mazes and I felt incredibly safe traversing the entire process with this positive and optimistic guide working diligently on my behalf, every step of the way. All the scary legal aspects were lifted from my shoulders and burdened by Martin and his team of similarly engaged contacts in the financial and solicitor fields. This included the insurance aspects, the access to my retirement funds, advising of grants available to me and offering suggestions I had not even thought of to help make my dream happen. And happen it did! I am extremely happy to say the entire process was executed in seamless fashion, I am a new homeowner and my sense of security is safely sealed under the roof of my house. MY house!!! I get excited every time I say it!! I thank Martin sincerely with the fullness of my happy heart for all the work he has done and the people he has engaged on my behalf for changing my life. Quite simply he is my hero, as he has enabled me to take a second shot at a life that was essentially bogged down in a stagnant mire. I recommend his services - and that of The Home Loan Shop in general - to anyone hoping for a brilliant professional service in securing property of their own. What would you expect to pay for a service such as this? The incredible fact is that personally, it cost me nothing!! The fees were all absorbed in the service…. And that was just part of the icing on what has evolved into a very sweet and moist cake indeed, made moist through my tears of joy and exhilaration!! Martin’s qualities of sincerity, honesty and amazing skills to achieve a great deal of excellent value filled me with confidence. In a world that all too often seems over represented by sharks and hungry wolves, it was very refreshing and an enormous relief to engage with a financial professional who was so personable and genuinely motivated to personally assist me in realising the impossible dream. When rough seas seemed to be brewing, Martin was a trusted and true sailor and somehow always steered the boat into calm waters… all the way to the sunny beach where I now find myself… gloriously bathing in the warmth and security of home ownership! I am obviously not the first client who has experienced such excellence here, nor I expect, will I be the last. I see The Home Loan Shop has won NZ Financial Services Business of The Year the past two years running… I would not be the least surprised should they win it a third successive year… in my opinion they thoroughly deserve it. Well done Martin and well done Home Loan Shop! You have my lifelong endorsement and I know exactly where to send friends and family for excellent advice and service! My Kindest, warmest and most grateful regards Ron Kerkmeester (Ecstatic Proprietor of Property!)"Ron•1st Sep, 2015•More details…

He has so much knowledge of the sector, and the Home Loan Shop's service really goes above and beyond - it was fantastic. Highly recommended."Elena•8th Mar, 2014•More details…

"We were really impressed with Sloan at every turn. From the outset, he was happy to give obligation-free information and advice to us as first home buyers. He made no attempt to push us down a path that wasn't right for us. Then, when we later came to him with what seemed like an impossible turn-around time, he had everything sorted almost overnight. His communication was spot on all along the way. We couldn't have hoped for a better result; a high LVR loan without having to resort to… non-bank lending. We would have no hesitation recommending that people thinking about buying talk to Sloan."Brian•7th Mar, 2014•More details…

"Excellent service from Sloan. He was very timely and helped us get the mortgage sorted in a short time frame, which was very appreciated.

"Sloan and the team at the Home Loan Shop recently helped me arrange finance on my first home. It was a long road to finally getting one with alot of bumps along the way, from deals gone bad to LVR lending changes and Earthquakes! Suffice to say Sloan and the team were amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. I offered on several properties and Sloan was timely and efficient with arranging pre approved finance options. He would have me pre approved with two lenders within 24 to 48… hours. Once I finally closed a deal Sloan negotiated great rates and incentives. ALOT better then anything I had seen advertised. Sloan walked me through the whole process and everything came together on the day seamlessly. Sloans help with the financials was top level but he also really helped me with down to earth advise and guidance through the process. This for me was invaluable as a first home buyer and another example of the over and above service. I look forward to a long lending relationship with Sloan and the Home Loan Shop team and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others."Andrew•3rd Dec, 2013•More details…

"Mark Cook is a superb Home Loan advisor. He is a smart, talented and personable individual, and it felt like he went above and beyond his duty to help us into our first home. He made the process of purchasing a home and gaining finance easy to understand, provided excellent advice as to how to choose the best deal, and ensured we had finance available to us at a time when the banks were tightening their lending. The rest of the Home Loan Shop team that we dealt with were equally as freindly and… helpful, and it is a business we highly recommend and we will never use anybody else!"Tom•14th Nov, 2013•More details…

We found their services to be extremely professional, courteous and helpful to us as we were entering the Home Loan market. We have since used the services of the Home Loan Shop on many occasions, and I enjoy stopping by to catch up with Greg whenever I am passing. I have introduced many colleagues and friends to the team at the Home Loan… Shop as their service ethic never fails to impress me.

"Mark and the team were approached by my partner and I when looking for our first home. Not really knowing the process or even really where to begin, Mark was very clear and helpful about the entire process and always kept us up to date with where things were at. Working within our limits Mark managed to get us the best possible deal with a number of banks, and even steered us through the 20% equity changes to home loan borrowing criteria safely. Throughout the whole process we were… really comfortable with the decisions we made as Mark provided us with all of the information, alternatives and options we could ask for, and how this would impact us in the long and short term. My partner an I are now proud home owners and very secure in the position we are in, and none of this would have been possible without Marks guidance and expertise. The whole teams relationship with other third parties involved in the house buying process also meant that we went to just the one place and were also put in touch with excellent property lawyers and insurance people. The Home Loan Shop came highly recommended to me, and i make no hesitation in recommending Mark and the team to anybody even considering buying a home, no matter how early or far along the process they are."Adam•23rd Oct, 2013•More details…

"With changes to loan to value ratio guidelines imminent, and deadline for withdrawing my retirement savings for a deposit, I had only a few weeks left to buy something, anything, or risk never owning my own home. I'd just missed out on yet another house, and was quite despondent about my ability to buy in the Wellington market. As I was walking home that evening, the lights were on at the Home Loan Shop, so I went in to see if there was any hope that I might secure lending on an… apartment with very low equity. Sloan advised that it wasn't likely, but we'd give it a shot. Within hours I had pre-approval and knew that lending on an apartment would be on a case-by-case basis - they could still say no. Sloan pleaded my case - and when just a few days later I found an apartment that I loved, he worked hard to negotiate my lending with only 5% deposit, advised on lending structure, secured good interest rates, and helped ensure I was able to meet the banks due diligence conditions. Then came settlement day - the day after the first big quake in Welly. Settlement was delayed as all the lawyers were closed, my new apartment has sustained cosmetic damage, the movers were 3 hours late, the lifts in the building I was moving out of weren't working (83 steps up & down, one box at a time, not fun), and it was an all-around disaster. If moving is generally stressful - it's particularly stressful when you add a major earthquake to the mix. However, Sloan checked on me through the day to see how things were going (from home, as his office was closed too!). He genuinely cared and offered whatever assistance he could. Sloan kept me well informed, provided me with reality checks, and was genuinely interested in getting an outcome that was right for me. He provide great follow-up (such as checking the bank had paid the $$ he'd negotiated towards legal fees and checking in a few weeks after settlement to see how it was all going). It felt like the whole process was all about me. Highly recommended."Amanda•29th Sep, 2013•More details…

Sloan managed to secure rates on new lending that were essentially the same as those that others I know of had negotiated with their banks for weeks on. But it was his insistence that I obtain a house insurance quote well before settlement that turned out to be the biggest win for us: hello Wellington earthquake!! He has endless enthusiasm and a courteous approach, with a generous measure of good old fashioned commonsense thrown in. He… does what he says he will and always follows up in a timely manner. I will continue to recommend him to everyone I know. Thanks!!"Simon•2nd Aug, 2013•More details…

"I dealt with Greg when I was having issues getting a loan on an investment property that myself and a business partner were looking at purchasing. I was pleasantly surprised that Greg was even willing to take us on given that we both have relatively complex affairs (together over 15 properties held in different structures), I was already talking to a couple of banks, and my biz partner was also newly self-employed further complicating things. Greg was prompt and gave us excellent advice… (which we took) and insight into some of the reasons we had struggled with one particular bank constantly. He was straight up when he couldn't get us a better deal in some areas than we could get ourselves, and, while eventually for the sake of expediency we sourced our own loan (no fault of Greg's), I would not hesitate to use Home Loan Shop again and refer my friends to them whenever possible."Dan•15th Jul, 2013•More details…

"I would absolutely recommend Greg and the Home Loan Shop. Greg got us an excellent deal on our mortgage, and we were really happy with the service and communication throughout the process.

"We went to see Sloan after a recommendation from two different friends, and were very impressed. Sloan got us a great deal and kept us on track with all the bits and pieces we needed to do. Thanks Sloan!"Joanna•19th Nov, 2012•More details…

"I would highly recommend Sloan and i have to my daughter and her partner. I was impressed how he makes everything easy and simple for you to understand. He worked very hard for us and ours was a first for Sloan as we wanted the mortgage put into a family trust he did an excellent job all the background work he would have done made it one less thing for us to do, in the end we just had to show up and sign some forms and we had a mortgage. Keep up the good work. "Glen, 16th Nov, 2012•More details…

"As first time home buyers, Sloan was very helpful and went out of his way to assist us, even when on leave, to get finance sorted on very satisfactory terms, and, made sure we understood what we were getting ourselves into. He also put in considerable effort each time we had a property we were interested in, even though when these fell through, he didn\'t get paid! "Lauren•16th Nov, 2012•More details…

"I\'ve used Sloan Mcphee for 5 years now can whole heartedlly recommend him. He works hard on any request you have, coordinates quickly and always keeps you in the loop as to whats required and going on. He\'s helped me with two houses and an overdraft so far and its nice to have it all sorted with a minimum of fuss. Highly recommended."C Bell•16th Nov, 2012•More details…

"Prompt and transparent operation, very easy to deal with and will always go the extra mile. 10/10"Mat•16th Nov, 2012•More details…

"We dealt with Sloan McPhee to buy our first home and honestly couldn\'t recommend him more. He explained everything so clearly and really worked to get us the best possible deal available. He was always available to speak to and just made the whole process so much easier and relaxing, knowing that we were in safe hands. We went to Sloan on a recommendation and have in turn recommended him to anyone looking to purchase or refinance their property. "Emma•16th Nov, 2012•More details…

"I can\'t recommend Greg Scott and Matt Guilford from the home loan shop highly enough. Greg secured us a first home mortgage and gave us excellent advice. They are very friendly and kept us up to date though the whole process. Matt helped us with life insurance and provided excellent advice for house and contents insurance. Both of the guys were happy to meet us in the weekend. There is no doubt we will use these guys again!"Dean•12th Nov, 2012•More details…

"without a shadow of doubt the work martin and his company has done for us has probably saved me from insanity....he has been patient through several false starts and remained open and concerned for us . he went to lengths to accommodate my somewhat frustrated attitude over the building process and helped me understand what i was going through. and he sorted the loan as well. i have never used a broker before despite having a number of house loans but i will never go back to me trying to do it… all! i have nothing but praise for Martin and the guys at home loan shop"Richard•16th Oct, 2012•More details…

"I was recommended HLS by good friends and they did not let me down! I have been an anxious customer, wanting to make sure I was doing the right thing, getting the right information where it needed to go as well as the right advice for me. Martin was more than a mortgage broker, he gave me real estate advice, relationship counselling and even calmed me down from panic attacks! He really earned his commission with me!! I would recommend the team in an instant! Thank you Martin :)"Rebecca•15th Oct, 2012•More details…

"I have dealt with Martin for a couple of years now and he has always shown attention to detail, quick turnaround to any queries, offered helpful suggestions/solutions, set me on the right track and responded to my questions (no matter how obvious the answer may have been to him) on a level which I could understand. I would highly recommend Martin with the utmost confidence. "Pat•15th Oct, 2012•More details…

"I cannot recommend them highly enough. After a complete shambles and very stressful experience with NZ home loans we were relieved and delighted to deal with Martin. He was clear, honest, asked for everything we needed once and turned our mortgage around in a very short space of time. Really greatful for their efficiency and ability to answer any curly questions and solve any issues quickly and calmly!! Great service, friendly down to earth and helpful! Thanks for turning a stressful and… difficult process into something easy."Anna•15th Oct, 2012•More details…

"Martin made the entire process of buying a house simple and easy. I had no idea what to expect as a first home buyer but Martin was available whenever i needed help, guidance, answers. And now i have my dream home which wouldn\'t have been possible without his help. He pushed for a great deal! Would highly recommend using the Home Loan Shop!"Bridge•11th Oct, 2012•More details…

"It has been such a pleasure working with Mark Cook and being first home buyer I was not sure what do do and where to contact but \'the home loan shop\' made the process so easy. Thanks again for all of your wonderful work. Gurpreet."Gurpreet Bharaj•24th Sep, 2012•More details…

"Martin was fantastic! As a first time home purchaser, going into the process alone was pretty daunting. After a less-than-satisfactory interaction with a bank, I approached Martin (based on a friend\'s recommendation). Right from the start Martin was helpful, friendly and knowledgable. He negotiated a great rate with the bank and was more than willing to offer advice on other areas of the home-buying process. I will certainly be going through Martin and The Homeloan Shop for the loan for… my renovations. Highly recommend!"Jess•20th Sep, 2012•More details…

"We found working with Martin very hassle free, the whole process was straightforward and flowed with no problems. Martin negotiated a good interest rate and terms with our mortgage, and was a friendly guy who we could relate to easily. I highly recommend Martin to anyone else looking to buy property. When we spoke to our bank directly they were not willing to make any property purchase easy. Martin has the leverage to negotiate the best deal for you. We have already recommended a number… of our friends to Martin, some of which Martin has helped already."Phil & Debbie•17th Sep, 2012•More details…

"Gregg saved me megabucks and nothing was too much trouble. Also he and his staff know a lot about all things to do with property and insurance."Penny•17th Sep, 2012•More details…

"I have always wondered how it would feel like working with a broker. I have approached Home Loan Shop to look at the best deal for the deposit that we have for a house. Mark Cook had taken us to the process and we are impressed with the reliability, professionalism, customer service. knowledge and integrity that he had given us. I compared the experience with going through application process myself with 2 other banks directly at the same time. I am glad that I have a basis for… comparison as Mark\'s ability to deliver has been far greater than doing it myself. I have already recommended him/The Home Loan Shop to 3 of my colleagues and 1 of them had gone and seen him already and happy to report to me that he has been a \'star\'. Well done Mark!"Jasmin Callosa-Tarr•14th Sep, 2012•More details…

"Mark Cook of the Home Loan Shop was fantastic to deal with! We originally began the search for a bank to provide us with a home loan on our own, but after finding it a little challenging approached the Home Loan Shop, having used them previously, to assist us. Mark made the hunt for a home loan easy, kept us informed during the entire proess and was more than willing to answer the many questions I had. We were more than happy with the home loan we ended up with, and his advice about… splitting our loan was very valuable. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for an experienced mortgage broker. If we\'re in need of further assistance with looking for a home loan I would not hesitate to contact the Home Loan Ship in the first instance."Catherine•22nd Aug, 2012•More details…

"Mark & his team, were responsive, reassuring and clear communicators throughout our first home buying process. We came to them for advice and guidance and ended up educated and aware of what to look for and what we needed to do throughout each step. No question was a stupid question and Mark was great at checking in and explaining anything we didn\'t understand. So helpful and we really wouldn\'t have gotten there without these guys. Thank you Home Loan Shop! "Bekki•20th Jul, 2012•More details…
