Low Doc Loans: if you are self-employed or have problems proving your income, we can get you the funds you need at interest rates as low as 5.39%.

Credit Impaired Loans: although credit impaired loans are much more difficult to obtain than in the past, we have options for people who may have an imperfect credit record.

Why should I contact Freedom Loans?

There are many mortgage brokers out there. Here's a short analysis as to what makes our approach unique:

  • We specialise in "out of the square" lending. Many banks and lenders only offer a narrow range of products with stringent conditions. We offer a wide range of products with more flexible conditions to suit most situations.
  • The Principal of Freedom Loans is a Certified Practising Accountant (CPA) with advanced financial expertise. This gives us a great advantage over other mortgage brokers who are often no more than salespeople, without in-depth financial training.
  • We have highly experienced staff specialising in assisting clients obtain the funds they need or reduce mortgage payments by finding a better deal.

How do I know if my loan will be approved?

At Freedom Loans we believe that if we can't help you, nobody can. Whatever the outcome of your loan application, we will let you know as soon as possible. We are not in the business of getting loans declined and are experienced enough to know what the chances are of your loan being approved.

How can Freedom Loans help me if the bank said no?

We are specialists in helping people that don't fit into the traditional lending square. We appreciate that life does have its ups and downs and have lenders that will cater for the widest possible range of clients.

Recent turmoil in the financial markets has tightened lending criteria and you may find that many lenders or brokers won't be able to help you.

However, we still have access to funders offering attractive interest rates (as low as 5.39%) with more flexible conditions than most lenders.

If we can't help you, nobody can.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

None of our lenders charge any upfront fees. All the fees are put into the loan at settlement.

How do I stop people ringing me and asking me for money?

Freedom Loans can negotiate on your behalf to hold off any collections action and can even negotiate lower payout figures for the debts to be consolidated!

What does a default notice mean?

This is the first step towards a collections action. The default is listed on your credit report and will remain as a "black mark" against your name for 5 years.
