"We have dealt with Mariam and Daryl at NZHL for some years now and they have always been great at answering question, getting us a good deal and working stuff out for us as life circumstances have changed. Recently we bought our second home and Mariam was ‘on fire’. Easy to contact, fast at getting answers and worked really hard to get us into a home (pushing boundaries and a lot of lateral thinking was needed with Auckland home prices being so crazy). She was always available for us and although she we put some tight timelines and pressure on, she is a trooper and always smiling – Mariam, thanks for getting us into our new home and for your wisdom, support and grit! Totally recommend her and the team as mortgage brokers (and miracle workers)."

"We wanted to say how fantastic we found our New Zealand Home Loan consultant Grant Dent. Grant was very helpful from the moment we sat down for our first consultation through every step of the way of the loan process right up until settlement day. Grant updated us with everything we needed to know which we were very grateful for as we had never been through this process before. We highly recommend Grant and New Zealand Home Loans."

"We used to joke about the futility of paying off a mortgage over thirty-five years, wondering whether we’d still be alive to celebrate the last payment!

"We used to joke about the futility of paying off a mortgage over thirty-five years, wondering whether we’d still be alive to celebrate the last payment! We transferred our mortgage to New Zealand Home Loans and our expected term reduced to less than 11 years, without payments being affected. We were quite sceptical at first, but we’ve been with New Zealand Home Loans for about two years, we haven’t changed anything about our lifestyle, and we’re actually ahead of the repayment schedule. We can easily track the status of our loans on a day-to-day, month-to-month or year-to-year basis, and run simple what-if scenarios when we foresee or plan a major expense. We have found the advisers responsive, helpful and straightforward. Our decision to transfer our mortgage to New Zealand Home Loans ranks amongst the best financial decisions we’ve made."

"We moved our business to New Zealand Home Loans in 2012. We were sick of the lack of personal service and inflexibility of big banks and had heard friends talk about how great New Zealand Home Loans was with not only their customer service but also working as a team with their clients to improve their financial situation. We found New Zealand Home Loans great to deal with from the very first meeting – the products all lived up to their expectations and when it came to switching banks they did everything for us – making it easier than switching power or phone companies! Since joining up we have had regular correspondence and real one on one service that we haven’t had with other banks. Not only have we enjoyed our experience but we have also recommended New Zealand Home Loans to our friends and family too."

"When we started thinking about a change from our current “Big” bank across to NZ Home Loans, we did so with a large degree of caution due to our perception that NZHL Auckland East did not have the pedigree or expertise to meet our needs, however discussions with Daryl and Mariam changed our minds on this very quickly. Based on the enormous level of professionalism shown and the clarity provided regarding the advantages of the NZHL systems to us as a family, we decided to make the shift and we can honestly say that with the help of Daryl, Mariam and the NZHL Auckland East team we have achieved and continue to achieve outstanding results that have consistently exceeded our expectations. We are on track to be mortgage free decades ahead of our previous expectations however this advantage has not noticeably changed our lifestyle. We have an enormous level of transparency and focus due to the personal service we receive from Daryl and Mariam which has played a huge part in our successes to date and we would not hesitate to promote them and the NZHL Auckland East team to anyone who had an interest in becoming financially free sooner. Our one and only regret is that we did not take advantage of the opportunity earlier."

"New Zealand Home Loans made it very easy to refinance with them. Their computer programme debtnav gives a simple and graphic picture of how much money is being saved (and length of loan time shortened) by using their services as opposed to the financing I had through another bank. It is satisfying to be able to see monthly progress towards the loan repayment and to know other projects along the way can be factored in and see immediately the impact of this. It is also good to know there is someone I can contact easily with any queries. Thank you New Zealand Home Loans for a great service which I am happily recommending to others."
