Dunedin MetroWhy us?
Successfully securing a mortgage is just the beginning. When you work with an NZHL Mortgage Mentor, you’ll receive ongoing support well beyond the loan approval stage.
You’ll receive one-on-one guidance, financial planning around life milestones (such as adding to your family or renovating your home), a customised home loan structure and smart tools to help you stay on track.
Your mentor is there to help bring your vision to life: paying off your mortgage fast and achieving financial freedom.
To help decide if this is the right step for you, it’s free to sit down for an initial chat with a mentor. There’s no-obligation at all, so book in your chat today.

Ask us anything?
Why choose a mentor instead of a standard broker?
Our mentors are here to help you achieve financial freedom faster, which is completely possible with our proven strategies, tools, and systems. They don’t just help you with securing a mortgage; they provide you with ongoing long-term support.
Where should I look for a reputable broker?
You could look online or ask your family or friends for recommendations. Alternatively, it’s easy to partner up with an NZHL Mortgage Mentor – simply book a free chat.
Can I pay it off faster with a mentor by my side?
Yes, your mentor is here to help you pay the mortgage off faster than the typical 30-year term.
What will it cost to get started?
The good news is that there is zero cost to working with an NZHL Mortgage Mentor.
Can a mentor speed up my mortgage application?
Yes this is possible. With the help of an NZHL Mortgage Mentor, your application may be processed in 2 to 4 weeks, rather than the typical 2 to 6 weeks.
How early should I reach out to a mentor?
It’s never too early to reach out. If you’re thinking about buying a home within the next 12 months, you can book a chat now. Your mentor will help set you up for success at application time.
Can I compare different mentors before choosing one?
We recommend that you only work with one mentor. Working with more than one person may impact your ability to get a loan approved.
How do I lock in the best interest rate?
To secure the best interest rate, review your budget, improve your credit score, and compare lenders. Your NZHL Mortgage Mentor may also have access to rates that are not available to the public.
Are there any extra fees to sort out my insurance?
No – our mentors are qualified financial advisors who can help with your insurance as well as your mortgage. They can do a review and let you know if your cover is sufficient.
