Frequently asked
How is an Adelaide mortgage broker paid?+
Almost all Australian mortgage brokers are paid commission by the lender (typically 0.55% upfront + 0.15% trail) at no direct cost to you. A handful charge a fixed fee for complex commercial or self-employed loans. The broker must disclose all commission structures up front under best-interests duty.
What does a family lawyer typically cost in Adelaide?+
Initial consultations run $250 to $450 for an hour. Hourly rates for senior solicitors sit at $400 to $650. Many family law firms offer fixed-fee packages for uncontested divorces, consent orders and basic property settlements.
When should I use a broker versus going direct to my bank?+
Use a broker when you want to compare lenders, have complex circumstances (self-employed, multiple properties, low deposit) or want someone to handle paperwork. Go direct when you have a simple PAYG profile and an existing strong relationship with your bank.
