§ 06 · FAQ

Gold Coast Home Loan Questions, Answered

How much does a home loan broker cost on the Gold Coast?
Most residential brokers in Australia are paid by the lender, not the borrower. Upfront commission is typically around 0.65 to 0.70 percent of the loan amount, with an ongoing trail of around 0.15 percent per year. For most borrowers, there is no direct fee for using a broker.
Are mortgage brokers actually free for the borrower?
Yes, in most residential cases the lender pays the broker on settlement. Exceptions can apply for complex or commercial loans, in which case the broker discloses any fee in writing before you proceed.
What is the difference between a mortgage broker and a home loan broker?
In Australia the terms are used interchangeably. Both refer to a credit assistance professional who compares lenders on your behalf. All credit assistance is regulated under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act.
How much deposit do I need for a home loan in Queensland?
Most lenders look for around 20 percent to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance, but eligible buyers can borrow with as little as 5 percent through the federal First Home Guarantee. Where the deposit is below 20 percent, LMI is the usual workaround.
Do first home buyers on the Gold Coast pay stamp duty?
From 1 May 2025, eligible first home buyers pay no transfer duty on a new home or vacant land in Queensland under the Queensland first home transfer duty concession. Established-home concessions remain (full up to $700,000, tapering to $800,000).
What grants are available for Gold Coast first home buyers?
Eligible buyers may access the Queensland First Home Owner Grant of $30,000 for new builds under $750,000, available for transactions up to 30 June 2026 (reverting to $15,000 from 1 July 2026). The federal First Home Guarantee is a separate scheme. For advice specific to your situation, we can connect you with a qualified broker who can confirm eligibility.
Can a broker get me a better interest rate than my bank?
Brokers compare offers across a panel of 30+ lenders, including major banks, second-tier banks and non-bank lenders, so they often find sharper pricing or features your bank does not offer. Use the comparison rate as the apples-to-apples figure when comparing.
How long does home loan pre-approval take on the Gold Coast?
Typically a few business days once your documents (ID, payslips, bank statements) are with the broker. Some lenders offer same-day conditional approval. Pre-approval usually lasts around 90 days.
What happens if something goes wrong with my broker?
Brokers must be authorised under an Australian Credit Licence and act under the Best Interests Duty. If a dispute arises, you can take it free of charge to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA), the independent external dispute resolution scheme.
