Check they are a licensed financial adviser. Mortgage advisers in New Zealand work under a licensed Financial Advice Provider and must disclose their licensing, the lenders they work with and how they are paid. A broker with a wide lender panel can compare more options.
Match their experience to your situation. First-home buyers using KiwiSaver and the First Home Grant, self-employed applicants, refinancers and property investors all have different needs, so ask about cases like yours.
Look at communication and cost. Most brokers are paid by the lender, so their service is often free to you, but always ask whether any fee applies and when. Good brokers keep you updated, explain your options plainly and stay involved through to settlement.
Usually not directly. Most brokers are paid a commission by the lender, so their advice is free to you. A few charge a fee in certain situations (for example complex or commercial deals), which they must disclose up front.
Yes. They must operate under a licensed Financial Advice Provider and follow the Financial Markets Authority's conduct rules, including giving you a disclosure statement. Ask to see it if it is not offered.
Absolutely. Brokers regularly help first-home buyers structure KiwiSaver withdrawals, check First Home Grant eligibility, and present a strong application to lenders. Many specialise in getting first buyers approved.
Brokers compare multiple lenders and can often negotiate competitive rates and cash contributions, but the best deal depends on your situation. Their main value is matching you to the right lender and structure, not rate alone.
A broker can review whether refinancing stacks up once break fees, cash-back clawbacks and new cash contributions are counted, and can manage the switch. It is worth a no-obligation review every couple of years.
Typically photo ID, proof of income (payslips or financials if self-employed), bank statements, a record of debts and expenses, and KiwiSaver details if you are a first-home buyer. Your broker will give you a checklist.
