How much do we charge?
Our team is paid salaries and at times incentives based on how much business we do.
mortgagesonline.co.nz is paid commissions by lenders on any home loan you end up taking. This can be an upfront amount of .5% to .85% of the loan amount. Some of the lenders that pay us less upfront may pay us an ongoing income of .15% – .2% of the loan amount annually(as long as we help you managed the loan structure).
If you pay a substantial part or all of the loan amount back in the first few (around 3 years) our commission can be taken back by the lender.
For this reason we may charge up to $2,000 only if you repay the loan in full in the first 2 ½ years. (Fees for business loans, developer and property traders can be more). The $2,000 is based on ten hours of work at $200 per hour, however it does not limit the time we spend on a home loan.
mortgagesonline.co.nz Ltd is paid commission from the relevant insurance providers if a policy is put in force. The commissions are between 30% and 230% of the first year’s policy premiums. Mortgagesonline.co.nz also receives from 5% to 20% of the policy premiums for each year the policy is in force.
Our commissions for insurance is subject to a claw back by the provider for cancellations within the first two years. We may charge you for the financial advice that I provide if you cancel your health or life insurance policy within the first two years of its inception. We will use the following formula to calculate the fee: Cancelation fee = no more than $2,000 for up to 10 hours of work calculated at $200 per hour
