We’re Here to Make Home Loans Simple
Answers to the Questions Home Buyers Ask Most
At Pink Panther Lending, we know getting a loan or refinancing can feel complicated. That’s why we’ve answered the most common questions our clients ask — so you can feel confident, informed, and ready to take the next step.
What does a mortgage broker actually do?
A mortgage broker acts as your personal loan expert. We compare home loans from multiple banks and lenders, find the best option for your situation, and handle all the paperwork from start to finish.
Do you charge a fee for your services?
No. Our service is completely free for clients. We’re paid by the lender when your loan settles — which means you get expert guidance without paying a cent.
How do you find the best home loan for me?
We take the time to understand your goals, income, and financial situation. Then we compare hundreds of loans across trusted Australian lenders to find one that suits your needs and budget.
Can you help if I’m self-employed or don’t have regular payslips?
Yes. We work with lenders who specialise in self-employed and non-standard income borrowers. We’ll help you gather the right documents and find a loan that fits your circumstances.
What’s the difference between a fixed and variable rate loan?
A fixed rate stays the same for a set period, offering stability. A variable rate can change with the market, sometimes saving you more long-term. We’ll explain the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.
How long does it take to get approved?
With all your documents ready, pre-approval can happen in just a few days. Full approval and settlement vary by lender, but we keep you updated every step of the way.
Can you help me refinance my existing home loan?
Absolutely. We regularly help clients refinance to lower repayments, switch lenders, or access equity. A quick review could save you thousands every year.
What if I’ve been rejected by a bank before?
Don’t worry. Different lenders have different criteria. Even if a bank said no, we often find other lenders willing to help — especially for complex or self-employed cases.
Do you only help first-home buyers?
No. We work with first-home buyers, investors, refinancers, and anyone looking to build or renovate. Whatever your stage, we have a solution.
Do you only work with certain lenders?
No. We work with a wide panel of banks and non-bank lenders across Australia. That means you get access to more choices and better rates than going direct to a single bank.
Can you help me understand my borrowing power?
Yes. We’ll assess your income, expenses, and goals to show exactly how much you can borrow — and what your repayments would look like — before you apply.
