Established 2007

Mortgage specialists
who put structure first.

For over 17 years, FinanceOnly has helped Australians secure smarter lending outcomes — from first homes to complex investment portfolios. We're brokers, not generalists.

Our story

Over 17 years helping
Australians borrow better.

FinanceOnly was founded in 2007 with one clear conviction: that Australians deserve mortgage advice built around their specific situation — not a product that's convenient for a bank.

Holding an Australian Credit Licence from the start, we have operated as an independent mortgage brokerage with access to a panel of 30+ lenders. This independence means our recommendations are driven by your goals, not commission incentives.

Over the years we have helped hundreds of clients navigate home purchases, investment portfolios, self-managed super fund lending, and complex commercial transactions — all under the same roof, with the same commitment to tailored loan structures.

Structure over rate

A lower rate on the wrong loan structure costs more in the long run. We focus on building the right foundation — loan type, offset, redraw, fixing strategy — before discussing rate.

Independent advice

We are not owned by a bank or tied to a product shelf. Every recommendation is driven solely by what fits your goals and financial position.

Education-first approach

We believe informed clients make better decisions. Our free video library explains mortgage concepts in plain English — offset accounts, construction drawdowns, SMSF borrowing and more.

Our commitments

What you can always expect from us.

Three principles that guide every client engagement — from first call to settlement and beyond.

I

Objective advice

We compare the full market across our 30+ lender panel and present options that fit your situation — not products that are easiest for us to place. Our licence and MFAA membership hold us to that standard.

II

Tailored structures

No two borrowers are the same. We take time to understand your income, assets, plans and risk appetite before recommending a structure — because getting it right upfront saves you money over the life of the loan.

III

Long-term partnership

Our relationship doesn't end at settlement. We review your lending regularly to ensure it keeps pace with your circumstances — rate changes, portfolio growth, life events — and act when it should change.
