About us

Working with Build Start Finance

Navigating the mortgage market can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be. Our process map shows you exactly how Build Start Finance works with you from start to finish, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. We do the heavy lifting so you can focus on finding your dream home.

1

Initial Meeting

In our first meeting, we take the time to get to know you and your financial goals. We’ll discuss your current financial situation, including your income, expenses, debts, and any specific needs or concerns you might have. This meeting is all about understanding what you’re looking to achieve, whether it’s buying your first home, refinancing, or investing in property. We’re here to answer any questions you have and explain how we can help.

2

Gather Relevant Documents

Once we have a clear understanding of your goals, we’ll need to gather some key documents to assess your financial position accurately. This typically includes proof of income (like payslips and tax returns), details of your assets and liabilities, and identification. Don’t worry if you’re unsure about what’s needed—we’ll provide you with a detailed checklist and guide you through the process to ensure nothing is missed.

3

A Proposal for You to Consider

After reviewing your documents, we’ll research and compare various loan options from our network of lenders. We then prepare a tailored proposal for you, outlining the best loan products that suit your needs. This proposal will include details on interest rates, loan terms, fees, and other important factors. We’ll go through each option with you, answering any questions and making sure you fully understand the benefits and any potential downsides before you make a decision.

4

Lodgment of Applications to Lenders

Once you’ve selected the loan that’s right for you, we’ll take care of submitting your application to the lender. We’ll complete all the necessary paperwork, ensuring that every detail is correct and nothing is overlooked. This is a critical step where our expertise comes in handy—we know what lenders are looking for and how to present your application in the best possible light.

5

Gain Unconditional Approval

After the lender reviews your application, we work to secure unconditional approval for your loan. This means that the lender has approved your application without any further conditions or requirements. We’ll keep you informed throughout this process and address any issues that might arise, ensuring a smooth path to approval.

6

Book in the Settlement for Your Loan

Once your loan is unconditionally approved, we’ll coordinate the settlement process. This involves working closely with your lender, solicitor, and the seller (if you’re purchasing a property) to finalize everything. We’ll book the settlement date, ensuring all parties are aligned and ready to complete the transaction on time. We handle the details so you can focus on preparing for your move or investment.

7

Congratulations, You're Settling!

On settlement day, the ownership of the property is officially transferred, and your loan funds are released. We’ll confirm that everything has gone according to plan and provide you with all the final documents. This is the exciting moment when you can officially call the property yours! We’ll be there to celebrate with you and ensure that everything is in order.

8

Ongoing Management Of Your Loan

Your relationship with us doesn’t end once your loan is settled. We’re committed to helping you manage your mortgage over the long term. This includes regular check-ins to see how your loan is performing, assisting with any changes you might need, and advising on opportunities to refinance or restructure your loan as your financial situation evolves. We’re here to support you through every stage of your mortgage journey.
