Who are Nectar Mortgages?  

Nectar Mortgages are a team of expert brokers helping Kiwis and Aussies find the perfect loan to suit their needs. With over 50 lenders and a decade of experience, they’re dedicated to making your home-buying journey smooth and stress-free.

How can Nectar and NZRelo help Kiwis moving to Australia?  

We get it—moving and buying a home in Australia can feel overwhelming. Nectar knows the ins and outs of the Australian market and is here to guide Kiwis through the entire process, from finding the right home loan to understanding the different lending rules.

Why should I choose Nectar over other brokers?  

Unlike others, they don’t just find you any loan. They personalise your options based on your unique situation and needs. With top industry recognition and a stellar customer satisfaction score (9.67/10!), they’re focused on getting you the best deal.

What makes buying a home in Australia different from New Zealand?  

Australian homes are often built with different materials and features, like brick (due to termites), air conditioning, and bug screens. This means your due diligence process will differ. Plus, lending rules and credit scores in Australia vary from NZ.

How does Nectar ensure a smooth home-buying process for Kiwis? 

By partnering with NZRelo they offer personalised Kiwi-focused support. From KiwiSaver contributions to navigating citizenship and deposit requirements, they’ve got the expertise to help you avoid common pitfalls and secure your dream home.

What does it cost to use a Nectar broker?  

The good news is, our brokers get paid by the lender, so in most cases, you won’t pay us a cent! But we’re always transparent—our brokers will walk you through any costs and explain exactly how everything works.

Can I use my KiwiSaver to buy a home in Australia? 

Yes! First you will need to transfer your KiwiSaver to a participating Australian super fund such as First Super. Their dedicated KiwiSaver team will assist you with your transfer and the next steps you need to take in order to apply for the FHSS.

Does Nectar provide more than just home loans? 

Absolutely! Their team can help with personal loans, refinancing, and even commercial lending. Plus, they’ve partnered with trusted service providers to help with things like legal advice and utility setup, making your move as easy as possible.

What happens after I settle into my new home? 

Their support doesn’t stop once you’ve got the keys! They’ll check in with you yearly to ensure your loan still meets your needs and update you on any market changes. They’re always just a phone call away for ongoing support.

How does Nectar handle the paperwork?  

Leave the paperwork to them! They’ll handle all the loan documentation, making sure everything is in order so you can focus on settling into your new life. From pre-approval to closing, they’ll be with you every step of the way.

Can Nectar help me find the best location to buy in Australia?  

Yes! Their brokers have extensive local knowledge and can provide advice on where to buy, whether you’re looking for a home in the city, suburbs, or somewhere in between. They’ll match your goals with the perfect location.

How do I get started with Nectar?
