Discovery Consultation
Your property financing journey starts with a comprehensive discussion with your Finance & Mortgage Broker. Whether you're a first-time buyer, property investor, or seeking to refinance, your broker will explore your objectives, current financial circumstances, and any unique requirements. During this consultation, you'll review your borrowing potential and examine various loan products from multiple Australian lenders. Your broker will also explain key concepts like interest rates, loan-to-value ratios (LVR), and potential lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).
Financial Assessment
Your broker will perform a detailed analysis of your financial standing, examining your income streams, bank records, assets, debts, credit profile, and savings history. They'll determine your maximum borrowing capacity and provide estimates for monthly payments. Additionally, your broker will identify any applicable interest rate concessions or government assistance programs, such as first-home buyer incentives.
Loan Recommendation
Using your financial profile, your broker will research and curate suitable loan products from various lenders. These recommendations will align with your specific requirements, whether you prefer fixed rates, variable rates, or flexible features like offset accounts. Your broker will clearly explain the loan-to-value ratio implications and outline the advantages and disadvantages of each option to support your decision-making.
Pre-Approval Process
Securing conditional approval establishes your budget parameters and enhances your position when making property offers. Your broker will guide you through this stage, organising all required documentation including tax returns, payslips, and bank statements for lender submission. Pre-approval enables swift action in competitive markets and reduces the risk of missing opportunities.
Formal Application
After choosing your preferred loan product, your broker will coordinate the complete application process. They'll compile and submit all documentation to the chosen lender, including additional requirements such as asset verification and financial statements. Your broker serves as the primary liaison with the lender, managing inquiries and ensuring efficient processing.
Approval and Settlement
Following loan approval, your broker will review the final loan contract with you, clarifying all conditions including rates, fees, and repayment terms. They'll assist with establishing your payment structure and arranging necessary insurance coverage, such as mortgage protection. Upon settlement completion, property ownership transfers officially, granting you access to your new property.
Continued Partnership
Your relationship with your Finance & Mortgage Broker extends beyond settlement. They remain available for ongoing consultation regarding loan management, refinancing opportunities, or leveraging property equity for future investments. Your broker provides continuous guidance throughout your entire property ownership experience.

Carl Elsass was a wonderful help to my husband and I as we bought our first property. Carl was very responsive, knowledgeable and guided us through the process with great care and attention to detail. We would highly recommend using Azura Financial Mortgage Broker (and especially Carl) if you are someone who is looking to get your foot into the market!

Carl has been amazing to work with. He was on the ball straight from the start with knowing all the information I would need to provide. He was quick to respond while others would not return communication for weeks. He managed to secure me a great product in a short amount of time, even while we are on opposite sides of the country. I highly recommend getting in touch with Carl, you won't look back.

We provide comprehensive lending solutions for all aspects of a tradie's financial needs, including home loans, investment property loans, construction loans, work vehicle loans, equipment finance, and personal loans. We understand that tradies often require diverse financing solutions, from purchasing tools and equipment to funding business expansion. Whether you're looking to borrow for business equipment, a new work vehicle, property investment, or personal needs, we can likely assist you with appropriate lending solutions.
All of our mortgage brokers hold full accreditation and are active members of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia. They possess specialised expertise in working with tradies across various industries including builders, carpenters, painters, plumbers, electricians, and plasterers. Our brokers understand the unique financial circumstances of tradies, including seasonal income fluctuations, ABN structures, and self-employed lending requirements.
Mortgage brokers provide invaluable assistance for tradies by understanding the unique financial challenges within the construction and trades industries. We have access to a broader range of products than any single lender, including specialist loans designed for self-employed tradies. Our brokers are experienced in presenting tradie applications to lenders, documenting irregular income patterns, seasonal fluctuations, and business expenses effectively.
Yes, we specialise in construction loans specifically tailored for tradies who are building their own homes, whether you're doing the work yourself or managing subcontractors. These loans release funds in stages as construction progresses, with flexible arrangements that acknowledge your expertise and involvement in the building process. We work with lenders who understand that tradies often have unique construction timelines and may use their own labour, requiring funding structures that accommodate material purchases and subcontractor payments.
Absolutely! Many lenders will accept trade business assets as additional security for loans, including valuable equipment, vehicles, tools, and business premises. This can help you secure better interest rates, higher loan amounts, or more favourable terms. We work with lenders who understand the value of trade-specific assets and can help you leverage your business assets whilst maintaining your operational capacity.
Self-employed tradies often benefit from low-doc loans, asset-based lending, and specialist self-employed loan products that focus on business assets and cash flow rather than traditional payslips. These loans accommodate the unique income patterns of tradies, including seasonal fluctuations and irregular payment schedules from clients. We work with lenders who understand that established tradies may have strong business assets and equipment portfolios even when their income documentation doesn't follow standard employment patterns.
