    "Danielle was great in providing advice throughout the refinance process. She was so helpful in setting us up for success and has helped us sort out our mortgage with back with a prime lender.

    Really proactive and stayed in touch over quite a long period. Would recommend Danielle and first rate mortgages to anyone.

    "I have once said this and will proudly say it again “We have been blessed with the best (Raymond)”. For the second time round, again Raymond have never failed to impress us. Raymond you have proved to us once again that you are the best person to deal with in terms of mortgage and re-mortgage. Your knowledge is impeccable and I would not ask for anything more. With very little time we had to re-mortgage, you only needed just that to successfully deliver a much lower interest rate and to top it all an unexpected amount of cash back. I cannot recommend Raymond enough; you just have to make contact with him to experience how fast, keeping you well informed, efficient and proactive Raymond is. Keep up the great work!"

    "Danielle was an absolute rockstar! I had a slightly more complicated mortgage then most people but she handled it extremely well. She also tried everything she could to get me the best mortgage on the market and made sure I knew what I was doing, answered all my questions and made me feel really supported and informed through out the whole process, I would recommend her to anyone."

    "Raymond is the person to contact if your wanting a professional, honest, prompt service. Anything to do with a mortgage, re-mortgage. I feel it's been a privilege that I've had Raymond assist me over the past five years with my mortgage needs and some of this was not strait forward. Raymond didn't give up, just his knowledge and patience helped me to achieve my mortgage needs. Raymond takes the stress out of the process. I can honestly say I've never felt stressed thru the process, how amazing is that, with Raymond on your side you can achieve your mortgage dreams and goals.

    "We had a complex situation to overcome with offshore investments and salaries combined with owning an SME domiciled in NZ and UK and US establishment branches. The AML was lengthy but had it not been for Natalie and Kim, we would have been left floundering and perhaps rejected given our unusual circumstances. I implore all expats returning to NZ to consider using First Rate Mortgages who made our experience seamless. Their advice was first rate as was their execution."

    "Hi Natalie

    Now that we have completed settlement on our new property we just want to say a massive 'thank you' to you and the First rate mortgage team.
    We know we were tough customers with us being self and part time employed and wishing to purchase a larger rural property it wasn't going to be easy. We initially approached ten mortgage brokers country wide with the same generic request with only 3-4 of them having any value to add and yourself being the only one to get the deal done with a mainstream bank.

    We would highly recommend yourself to others with challenging financial circumstances.

    Best regards

    Lyall & Trish

    "I speak for my entire family in giving Kim Lyons, Danielle Happy and the whole team at First Rate Mortgages Ltd our highest recommendation. We have been fortunate enough to have them represent us for the past 20+ years, with successful outcomes for multiple members of our family. Our most recent dealings with Danielle have been complex, and have spanned both time and place. With four people in different parts of the country, it has not been an easy task. However Danielle managed to keep each of us individually on track, informed and updated at every turn. She also afforded us with her knowledge, respect and uplifting humour when times were tough. It is fair to say, our recent positive outcome would have been very difficult to achieve elsewhere.

    We are deeply grateful for their expertise and will continue to recommend and ask for their services well into the future.

    "Our settlement on the 09/08/22 wouldn’t be possible without the help from you Raymond. Your help started from that first phone call I can boldly remember. You have so much knowledge that we really needed as a first time buyer. You have so much patience in providing us with information we needed to know and understand to make an informed decision. Words are not enough to express the service and outcome provided by Raymond our brilliant adviser. When we thought hope was lost Raymond found hope and came through for us. We are grateful for your service Raymond. You are professional and very efficient. We re blessed with the best!"

    "Natalie was awesome, from start to finish. As first home buyers, she took us through every step of the process, answered all of our (many) questions and really educated us. She really helped us get our accounts into line, teaching us throughout so we could present the best possible case to lenders.

    In a tough, competitive housing market, she was crucial in getting us over the line and making sure we were confident with our offers we were presenting. Once the loan was secured, she was still more than happy to answer any questions.

    100% would recommend for anyone that needed a broker!

    "My wh?nau and I are very pleased that we made contact with First Rate Mortgages, after my first conversation with Rosemary, I knew then that we had made the right choice to go through First Rate Mortgages. Rosemary was kind, friendly and very witty, which made the process very comfortable. After explaining my situation to Rosemary, she told me to leave it with her and that's exactly what I did. Rosemary gave great advice and spoke to me in a way I could understand it all. Thank you Rosemary and the team at First rate mortgages for giving me and my wh?nau the opportunity to own our first home. Ng? mihi nui Rangiwahia"

    "Our family are so happy we came across First Rate Mortgages. I knew we were in great hands after my initial call to enquire about their services. I laid out our situation (which was complex!) to Lorraine, as I had done with several other brokers. What impressed me was that Lorraine emailed back later that day with a near-perfect recall and summary of all we had discussed, which meant...she was listening! Our house purchase was being conducted during a particularly busy time. At least 3 mortgage brokers still haven't got back to me and we've been in our new house nearly a month so it's a little late now! Within 48 hours Lorraine had an application on the way, and First Rate was onto it from that moment on. We then continued to work with Kim and Yvonne, who were excellent in their communication, availability, and determination to push things forward. We had some stressful moments, and tight deadlines to work through, but Yvonne and Kim pressed forward and weren't phased by the challenges. They really "fought for us", and this resulted in us being able to purchase the home we wanted, at the time we wanted. Put simply First Rate Mortgages live up to their name, a rarity these days, and we were super encouraged by their honesty, integrity, and dedication to their clients. Would certainly recommend them highly to anyone - you won't be disappointed!"

    "I was in a desperate position after COVID forced me to close my company.
    My bank did not want to help me because of the state of my accounts – because of COVID. I applied for a mortgage with a non-bank entity but was declined.
    With my financial position, and my credit rating, hitting rock-bottom, I contacted First Rate Mortgages and was greeted by a friendly and understanding, yet very professional team. They have been very thorough in their investigation into my requirements and position and got me a mortgage just in time.

    Thank you so much, Rosemary and team!

    We were astounded with the level of patience, persistence and performance. These guys really work for you and give you results. We would have asked hundreds upon hundreds of questions and ours was a tricky application but Raymond was incredible and helped us reach our dream.

He is highly professional, very calm and patient with explaining everything in detail and extremely organised and all of my dealings with him has been handled very well. Dealing with Raymond has been a real pleasure to work with. He is a person who will make it happen if you have been denied or ignored from other lenders.

We had some issues with the bank who declined us but as with many reviews I have read, Raymond got us over the line. He was patient, calm & listened to our story without any judgment. We are so grateful for your guidance, suggestions and overall service - so highly recommend First rate mortgages.

    "Yvonne has talked to me about so many different great options to get onto the property ladder.
    If I have questions she has always made herself available to answer them.
    Couldn't recommend her enough as a fantastic Customer service oriented representative.
    Look forward to dealing with her more in the future!

    "We had a bit of a more complicated mortgage application and wanted to use a broker but had no idea who. We found Allan and from the first minute on he was there for us. Everything was easy to understand, Allan communicated well and he went well above and beyond! Professional, helpful, friendly, supporting and very patient when I again didn't understand something :-). There was nothing we were missing and we were always fully informed of what was going on. I can only recommend Allan - you won't find a better broker in NZ! :-) Thank you Allan! We are now happy and relieved home owners - because of you. Our dream is now reality."

    "We decided to use a mortgage broker for our first home and found First rate mortgages, where we were introduced to Allan. Straight away he got to work helping us, sorting through our situation and finances. He didn't disappoint, kept everything as simple as he could and explained everything, which wasn't easy for first home buyers, as we had no experience with these things. Allan made it look easy. Even with all the uncertainty around home loans and then the covid lockdowns, we had a long road ahead. Allan continued helping us everystep of the way and thanks to his hardwork we secured our first ever home loan and now own our first home. Thank you so much Allan! We couldn't have done it without your help ????"

    "I never actually thought I would achieve getting a loan after the way the bank had treated me. Yet it all happened so quickly and efficiently it really blew me away. I’m so totally impressed by the whole experience. And so grateful. Danielle was so easy and delightful to work with. She did an amazing job. Danielle was clear about what I needed to bring to our first meeting and she helped me fill out all the forms and work out the figures. It was quick, not drawn out and basically after a couple of clarification phone calls Avanti granted me a mortgage. Amazing! Thankyou All!!!"

    But it is Danielle Happy that really casts the spells...she is a wizard

She never gave up and went above and beyond to make it work. I honestly can't thank her and the crew at first rate mortgages enough for all the hard work and dedication to getting this over the line a year down the track and we are now with a mainstream lender which could not have happened without their help. Anyone out there who has been told it can't happen don't give up speak with Lorraine and she will put you on the right path. Her experience and knowledge of the business is exactly what you need. Thanks again Lorraine!"

When other companies gave up and said it was too difficult Danielle stuck in and found us a solution.

    "Raymond has helped our family twice in the past 12 months. First one was getting a home loan approved through a non bank lender, as we had some issues with the credit history and no other main banks and other brokers weren't able to help us out. When everyone has turned around us, Raymond was there for us and he made it happen. It is as simple as that - Raymond is so good at what he is doing, so he makes the entire loan process appear seamless and easy, which is in fact was a very complex and hard case that no other broker even dare tried to help. He is credible and friendly and always takes a further step to help out as much as he can. After 10 months of being in a non bank lender, he has also helped us refinancing to a MAIN BANK, substantially reducing the amount of interest we were paying. We could not even think we made this far if it wasn't for Raymond. I am definite that I will be using his service for my next mortgage and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks Raymond for making this happen and to anyone reading this, you can take my word and ask for his advice and service. I am certain that he will exceed your expectations and deliver results."

Yvonne got our finance approved in about a week and than didn't hassle us while we spent three months finding the right place to buy, wish we could say the same for real estate agents!

    We had applied to the bank way back when my son first started working. 8 years on with the awesome help from Raymond we are proud first home buyers.
    The bank hum and ha but Raymond cut the chase got an investor and voila we are happy homeowners. Thank you Raymond for your humble service. You are softly spoken patient stress free person and we are very grateful for your support in getting our first home buy. Thank you kindly. God bless. Betty and Nik.

I would recommend Yvonne to anyone seeking assistance with a mortgage, under all these grounds. My husband and I appreciate and value the expertise of Yvonne, and thank her sincerely for all of her expert assistance and advice at the 11th hour when we so needed help."

    "I could definitely say that building our first home is such a roller coaster experience but the level of difficulty has dropped significantly with Danielle's help and support. We could not imagine sorting and going through all the financial matters without her. We've been through several difficult situations during the land and house build but she managed to find ways for us to get through it. There were times that the road block seems impossible to cross and we even thought that maybe the property was really not for us and it's better to back out but we're here now living in our humble home and it's because of Danielle's help. Also, she's not just a mortgage broker support person for us but she has given us tips on what to do on our new home based on her personal experience. This is one of the reasons that we trust her more than anyone else when it comes to making decision during the build for our home. We are very grateful of finding her as our mortgage broker support person. I would definitely recommend her to someone I know."

    "Raymond Daniels provided me with his vast professional experience, very efficient services and undoubtedly the most friendly and supportive manner throughout the whole process of the loan application.
    Raymond returned my first call almost immediately and we made an appointment for the following day, a Saturday. Unlike my own bank, Raymond listened to me and respectfully asked me all the questions he needed to understand the whole picture of my financial situation. We spent more than 2 hours discussing and collecting the data for the application which was complex due to the involvement of a trust. Added to it was the urgency to have it all sorted before I was leaving for an extended period of time to look after my elderly father overseas.

    Raymond was always confident, reassuring and patient answering all my questions.

    Thank you Raymond and First Rate Mortgages for helping me regain control of my financial affairs. Now I have a plan for the future and I'm able to be there for my family as well. I have only praise for your work and unreservedly recommend your services.

    "Danielle Happy has gone above and beyond to land us an affordable mortgage. She was professional and non judgemental and worked through each process with us. She never gave up and was detailed on what was required. Her hard work and commitment was greatly appreciated. She made a daunting process simple and easy. We always had the reassurance that she was working towards getting the best result for us which was not always the easy option. First Rate mortgages is an awesome company to deal with and i would 100% recommend using the service."

    "Ray Daniels has been amazing from the outset, and has never stopped!! We are an older couple and was wondering if we were ever going to own our own home in Auckland after 4 years of a terrible experience with EQC in Chch which resulted in having to sell our ChCh property at a loss. Within 10 mins of contacting Ray, he replied. We took ownership of our AUCKLAND house late last week (30 Aug) which was a wonderful birthday present too! I can’t speak highly enough of Ray Daniels and I haven’t even met him face to face yet????????????"

    We have now bought our home and now after a year or more actually met Raymond!
    He is the man to go to!
    Approaching First Rate Mortgages Ltd was the best safest and simplest way for us to buy our first home

    "First Rate Mortgages have worked so hard to get us refinanced when no one else would. We were 100% financed on our own home and some rental properties. No one would refinance us unless we sold a couple of houses which would have been at a big loss to us financially as the market was at its worst. They helped us out at a bad time and have now got us lending with a mainstream bank at very good interest rates. I would highly recommend them. Thank you so much Amanda and Kim for all your hard work."

    "I am sure during the whole house buying process you see people at their worst and they were just really patient and helpful through the whole process. However our experience with First Rate mortgages is just amazing since day1.

    Amanda is so brilliant and she was the only broker who gave me the hope when I first got in touch everyone else dismissed me - she went the extra mile to try and contact lenders and find me a mortgage and I was really happy with what she found me and turning it all around.

    I felt really looked after as a first time buyer especially with lots of queries that I had.

    I think the fee I paid was really good considering all the work Amanda did to make this happen - I have just bought and me and my young family have moved into the most beautiful house with an affordable mortgage only possible because of her efforts. Thanking you by words is just not enough!

    "We contacted Danielle late last year as we were in a desperate financial situation but had kiwisaver for a second-chance house deposit. Due to some personal adverse circumstances beyond our control over the past 10 years, we did not fit any criteria for mainstream lending. Danielle put our financial story together and presented it to some of her lenders who were willing to take a chance with us. Throughout the entire process and during the following months, Danielle has been outstanding to deal with and has kept in constant communication. Nothing has been too much trouble and at no stage did she ever make us feel like we were "losers" or that we weren't worth bothering with. We have now refinanced to mainstream lending and, again, have had the full support and encouragement that Danielle has always offered us. We will be singing her praises far and wide including the great team who assisted us. This has literally been life changing for us. YOU ROCK!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you"

Once we had arrived, he helped us through the process of buying a house with patience, sincerity and understanding. The process was foreign to us and made more complex by our unusual financial situation. He guided us all the way, acting as a liaison between us and the bank. We feel like we made a friend in Raymond and couldn’t recommend him more highly."

    From initial contact all thru the final and post purchase, we felt that they have gone above and beyond their duties. We have made several more transactions with the team as we feel they treat us more like family than clients. If given the chance, I would do all my financial transactions with them. Very personalised, professional and just very easy to deal with.

    "To start with the process of selling and buying has been a very interesting journey. The not knowing time which way and what was going to happen. But thanks to first-rate-mortgages we made it through. Selling & buying on the same day, to us was a miracle. Meeting with Kim Lyons was probably the most encouraging time that sure gave us hope.
    Wow we could do it, having no extra cash but a debt free asset was suddenly turned around. Your trust in us has enabled us to purchase, what we call a amazing property, where we can continue our work in helping families in our community. As our property of 25 year will be used over the next years for development. I learnt that nothing is impossible to you, and you place people before money where you can help. The extra contacts I had to make when more money was needed Natalie never ever left you feeling as though you were a nuisance but responded with all the help we needed. Thank You Natalie. As time goes on to settlement date, some time away yet, it is because of you that enabled us to do what we do best. And what we love doing. A special thank you to all, but those involved that we came to know. Kim Lyons, Bruce Darwin and Natalie.

They have transformed our lives with the lender they were able to source for us. Yvonne was very thorough and genuinely caring and she really went the extra mile. I will be forever grateful to First Rate Mortgages for the help they gave my family. I highly recommend them and have already referred a friend:)"

    "We first dealt with Allan back in 2015 to try and secure our first step on the property ladder. He took the time to discuss what our options would be and how we could make it work. Needless to say he made it work - we secured the home loan and moved into our new home within 3 months of starting the process.
    As our 2 yr term was coming to an end and we could refinance to secure additional lending for renovations, Allan was our first port of call to discuss options again. Once again he came through with exactly what we were looking for.

    First Rate Mortgages is perfectly named - Allan's service, communication and abilities were First Rate.

    Thank you Allan!

    "Kim and Natalie from First Rate Mortgages provided an outstanding service to us as we were looking to refinance. Kim made contact with us immediately and came to our home where he offered us sound advice and made the refinance process really clear for us. Natlalie and Kim, both provided ongoing contact with us throughout the process and were able to quickly obtain refinancing for us despite us being in a difficult financial situation. Their financial advice for future consideration by us has proved invaluable and we have no hesitation in working with them again in future or recommending their team for the use by others."

    "We got our first house because of Sarah and Kim and the wonderful team at First Rate Mortgages.
    We had a tight deadline on getting finance for our dream home, and the banks process was very slow. We were panicking as it did not look like we would get our finance in time, so we decided to meet with Sarah and Kim at First Rate Mortgages. They were very positive and reassuring, and they got us our finance within two days, even though we needed to get a 90% loan. During the whole process Sarah kept following up with us regularly to let us know how everything was proceeding, which removed the stress from the situation, as we constantly had a clear idea of what was happening.

    Both Sarah and Kim were very helpful and even made themselves available outside of normal business hours to assist us. They gave such great advice and support throughout the whole house purchasing process which was incredibly valuable to us seeing we never bought a house before and had no idea what we were doing. The team at First Rate Mortgages are knowledgeable, helpful and completely transparent. We highly recommend them.

I really can't say enough good things about this company, who are always available to help and support you through the mortgage process. A special thanks to Emma, who I feel I know like a friend now, as we've been in contact so often - she made the stressful time of selling and purchasing a new home a lot easier for me and is definitely an invaluable team member at First Rate. It's so good to use local people who are extremely professional but also kind and sincere. Thanks to you both so much. Warmest regards, Jo"

    "I have recently just finished building my first house and used Linda through First Rate Mortgages to help broker and manage my bank to finance the project.

    Linda has been absolutely fantastic to deal with and would highly recommend her no matter what agency she was currently working for. Very responsive and understanding of our specific requirements and situation. She was able to clearly explain all facets of the build process to us (from a financial perspective) and managed all the draw down payments from the bank.

    Building isn't an easy project to undertake and anyone willing to put as much time and effort into helping to make it easier is top notch in my books. Linda is one of those people.

    "Wow!! There are no words to describe Linda and her team!! Forget Banks.... just use First Rate Mortgages. We can highly recommend them. The Banks were giving us the 'run around' and seemed to be trying their level best to find reasons why we should not be home owners. By chance, I was going through Google to find an alternative and there was First Rate Mortgages. I was sceptical at first when I called, but when we received a return phone call from Linda and Kim, they immediately flew into action for us. Yes, it has been hard work getting to where we are now, but they stuck with us every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble for Linda. Linda is one of the most genuine, caring, understanding Ladies that I have ever known. Honestly, give First Rate Mortgages a go... We are moving into our new home tomorrow. Our dream has come true thanks to Linda, Kim and First Rate Mortgages.... No longer will we be paying for someone else's dream. Now, we are about to start living our own dream!! There are no words to thank Linda & Kim... Thank you doesn't even begin to cover it... Forget the Banks.... Use First Rate Mortgages & be prepared for the ride of your life......They should be called "Making Dreams Come True Mortgages" because that is what they do..... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.....

    "Linda has literally made my dream come true. After a failed attempt to secure a home loan with one of the banks, I pretty much gave up. It was by sheer luck that I came across First Rate Mortgages while I was googling assistance for home loans. I sent an email to Kim Lyons explaining my situation and was referred to Linda. At first I was sceptical as I’m a rookie home buyer and I honestly did not know what to expect least of all what to do. After a few phone calls and email exchanges between us about what’s required, Linda was able to secure us a home loan within a couple of weeks.

    Linda really knows what she’s doing and she’s very genuine in the sense that when she thought what’s on offer was not suitable for me financially, she suggested that we find a better solution. She did not advise me to sign up for anything never mind what comes after....

    Now my 9 year old daughter and I are moving into our lovely house in a couple of days. I will be forever grateful to this lady and I 100% highly recommend Linda to anyone looking to buy a house.

    "Andrew from First Rate Mortgages Ltd was very helpful in obtaining a second mortgage for our subdivision. He did all the work we just provided the documents, he communicated well making the process quick and easy. He is an affable person with excellent customer service skills, he answered any questions we had in a timely manner making the process run smoothly while addressing any concerns we had. He has remained in contact throughout the course of our loan to check our progress and provide any assistance should we require it. I recommend First Rate Mortgages Ltd to anyone looking for finance, our experience has been positive and I rate them highly."

    "We were lucky enough to find Allan when we were just about to despair. Despite being young professionals with good incomes we needed a high LTV mortgage at a time when the banks were reluctant to even entertain them. We'd been turned down by several banks before finding First Rate Mortgages. Thankfully Allan was able to find us a deal with a main high street lender and even after the deal was concluded he continued to keep in touch and offer both great advice and a new perspective on paying off our loan.

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Allan to anyone who finds themselves in a more complicated or challenging situation. His personal approach to business shows that he actually cares about his clients and their financial well being.

    Thanks Allan!

    "Shirley & I would like to sincerely thank you for the great job you’ve done in approving our home loan application.
    We approached many banks and many brokers and all of them turned us down, you were the only broker who actually wanted to know more about our financial status and showed interest in helping us.
    We are still unable to believe that you made it possible for us to own a house in this difficult property market and banks high demand lending criteria.
    You worked through our application very carefully and your advice in many areas were remarkable.

    If we hadn’t come across you Allan we still would have been renting and wouldn’t have dared to think of owning a house.

    Please accept our sincere and BIG thanks to you.

    Shirley & Raghuel

    "Allan has been a wonderful Broker
    He never gave us , he went to great lengths and eventually got us a private lender and the deal was completed with minimum of fuss
    A number of Brokers had tried and had failed previously because of our unusual profile ( High Equity Low cash flow )
    Allan Nichol is a tenacious Broker and a first rate financial advisor
    Highly recommended

    "We had the good fortune to meet with Kim Lyons, following a google search. Kim was diligent, informative and determined to help get us back into the property market, following our bad experience with a leaky home. Throughout the entire process we were kept informed of developments. Kim was also great in negotiating the way through obstacles that presented themselves. I have no hesitation in recommending Kim Lyons. His integrity speaks for itself.

    "I was introduced to Kim Lyons from First Rate Mortgages through a mutual friend. I found myself in a complicated financial situation and required the experience of a mortgage broker who could provide the solution I was looking for. After I made contact with Kim he came to visit me at my home the very next day. The paperwork was completed swiftly and thoroughly and in a matter of days Kim presented me with a few different financial options that met my criteria. Throughout the refinance process he was professional, honest and reliable. Kim Lyons and his team at First Rate Mortgages come highly recommended and I will most certainly be passing on his details to family and friends should they require financial assistance."

    "I was introduced to Graeme's mortgage broking service through a friend of his after being told that my usual bank would not lend me the required amount to purchase an adjacent property and to undertake the intended subsidivison and further development. From the first time Graeme made contact he was very easy to talk with, down to earth and explained things in a logical manner. He was easily accessible - encouraging me to contact him by phone whenever I had further questions to be answered and kept in touch and provided very useful advice - both written and verbal.

    I would highly reccommend his service to any potential property purchaser.

About us
Auckland Mortgage Brokers & New Zealand wide providing Bank and Non Bank Lending solutions. We offer Home Loan, Commercial, Rural and Business Finance all over New Zealand. Our logo is "you can't always bank on your Bank!"
We can provide personal service in Auckland and handle enquiries from all over New Zealand via phone, email and scan.
Call us first for help if your are not getting the answer you want from your Bank or Mortgage Broker.

What we do
If you expect specialist Mortgage and Home Loan advice only use a Mortgage Broker who is registered on the Financial Service Providers Register and someone who has many years of experience with finance.

First Rate Mortgages Limited was born in Auckland as a result of the New Zealand Banks changing from a branch structure with Bank Managers who you would have a personal relationship with and they had the discretion to approve your home loans, to a structure where the Branches were focused on "sales" with lending decisions made by back office faceless entities.

This business model was not suited to everyone and the Mortgage Broking business has developed, as more and more people want an ongoing relationship with a financial adviser, who manages their finances and deals with the lenders on their behalf. We also understand that it is not always good times with finances plus the rules keep changing so we are experts with Non Bank solutions to help you if you hit a financial speed bump.

Just like your solicitor, doctor, or dentist, we value long-term relationships through good times and those challenging times when finances do not go entirely as planned. We, therefore, have another website focused on alternative Non Bank lending solutions, “Non Bank Home Loans Mortgages and Finance” refer www.nonbank.co.nz

Kim Lyons, Allan Nicol, Natalie Siebrits, Danielle Happy and Murray Moore are all here to help you when arranging finance for your own home, residential or commercial investment, construction, business finance, refinancing and debt consolidation, even with bad credit! First Rate is your first choice, especially if you value long-term relationships with a registered Auckland Financial Adviser or Mortgage Broker who has experience buying, owning and selling property right here in New Zealand!

In February 2015 we moved to Offices in Orewa Central and are helping with many new inquiries from Albany through to Whangarei and Kaitaia. In our local patch, Millwater, Silverdale, Whangaparaoa Peninsular and Warkworth, we have helped many clients with new builds as there are so many new subdivisions underway. Kim works mostly from the office and assists with inquiries from all over New Zealand and is supported by Natalie Siebrits, Danielle Happy and Murray Moore.
We all have many years’ of experience in the banking industry including ANZ, BNZ, Westpac, KiwiBank and Sovereign Home Loans.

Allan lives and works as a Mortgage Broker in the South Auckland and East Auckland area.

As a team we believe First Rate should be your first choice for an Auckland Mortgage Broker and New Zealand wide, We are also very proud of the high number of valued clients and the lenders we have all over New Zealand.

As you can't always bank on your Bank for help, contact First Rate Mortgages Ltd now!
