The Challenge

Buying a home as a Kiwi in Australia

Lender appetite varies. Deposit requirements differ. The First Home Guarantee changed the landscape for 444 visa holders, and not every broker keeps up. Paul Davey has been broking across both sides of the Tasman for over a decade — the result is a strategy that respects your visa status, your deposit position, and your long-term plans. Already own and looking to restructure? Paul also handles refinancing to sharper rates or to unlock equity.
