Frequently Asked Questions

A mortgage broker is a licensed professional who compares loans from multiple lenders and helps you find the best deal for your situation. Lion Finance works with major banks and second-tier lenders across New Zealand.

Many of our services are funded by the lender when your loan settles. We will always disclose any fees before you proceed. Our goal is to save you time and money.

Pre-approval typically takes a few days to two weeks, depending on the lender and your documentation. We will guide you through the required documents to speed up the process.

Some lenders specialise in non-standard situations. Lion Finance has access to a wide panel and can help you explore options even if your credit history is not perfect.

Typically you will need ID, proof of income (e.g. payslips or financials), bank statements, and details of existing debts. We provide a clear checklist based on your situation.
