Navigate your home purchase with confidence
Guided by Experts Who Understand Your Goals
Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make — and it’s rarely just about the numbers. Having the right home loan broker in your corner means someone who takes the time to understand your full financial picture and your goals, not just your credit file. It means access to a wide panel of lenders, and a loan structured to genuinely serve you — now, and as life changes around you.
At Providence Lending Group, we’re experienced Sydney-based home loan brokers who’ve walked alongside clients through first home purchases, next home upgrades, investment properties, and refinancing — and we bring the same care to every conversation, whether it’s your first or your fifth.
Home Loan Solutions We Arrange
- First home buyer loans — including access to relevant government grants and schemes, explained clearly so you know exactly what you’re entitled to
- Owner-occupied mortgages — principal & interest and interest-only structures, matched to how you actually want to live
- Upsizer and next home loans — helping you manage the transition from your current property without the stress
- Investment property loans — structured to support your portfolio strategy, not just the next purchase
- Refinancing — reviewing your existing mortgage to improve your rate, reduce repayments, or release equity when it’s the right time
- Specialist home lending — for clients with complex income, self-employment, or credit history considerations, because everyone’s story is different
Why Work With a Home Loan Broker?
A home loan broker works for you — not the bank. We compare home loan products across major banks, second-tier lenders, and specialist lenders to find what genuinely fits your circumstances, not just what’s easiest to place. Rather than being limited to one lender’s products, you get access to a broad lending market and honest guidance on which lender is most likely to say yes, on terms that work for you.
Our service is provided at no cost to you. We’re paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles.
Our Approach to Home Lending
We take the time to understand your goals before we ever recommend a lender or product — because a loan that’s easy to place isn’t always the right one for you. That means asking the right questions, reviewing your financial position thoroughly, and standing behind every recommendation we make.
Our team brings experience from Australia’s major banks, so we understand how credit decisions are really made — and we use that knowledge to prepare strong applications and advocate for you every step of the way.

Understanding Home loans
A starting point built from the questions individuals and homeowners ask us most.
What's the difference between a fixed and variable rate loan?
A fixed rate locks in your interest rate for a set period (typically 1–5 years), so your repayments stay the same regardless of market movements — useful for budgeting certainty. A variable rate moves with the market and the lender’s own pricing decisions, meaning repayments can rise or fall, but usually offers more flexibility (like extra repayments or redraw) than a fixed loan. We can help you weigh up which suits your situation.
What is a loan offset account?
An offset account is a linked transaction account where your balance is “offset” against your loan balance when calculating interest — so if you have a $600,000 loan and $50,000 in your offset, you only pay interest on $550,000. It’s a common feature we arrange on variable home loans, and a useful way to reduce interest without locking money away.
What is redraw?
Redraw allows you to access any extra repayments you’ve made above your minimum required amount. It’s similar in effect to an offset account but works slightly differently — redraw funds are part of the loan itself, whereas an offset is a separate linked account. Availability and conditions vary by lender and loan product, which we’ll walk you through.
What's the difference between a home loan for owner-occupiers and investors?
Owner-occupier loans (for the home you live in) generally attract lower interest rates than investment loans, since lenders view them as lower risk. Investment loans often allow interest-only repayment structures and carry different tax implications — worth discussing with your accountant alongside us.
How much deposit do I need for a home loan?
Most lenders look for at least a 10–20% deposit, though some loans (including certain first home buyer schemes) allow for less. A smaller deposit generally means paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), an added cost that protects the lender, not you, in case of default. We’ll help you understand what applies to your situation.
Can I get a home loan as a self-employed borrower?
Yes — self-employed applicants are assessed differently to PAYG employees, typically using tax returns, financial statements or (in some cases) low-doc arrangements. Lender policy varies significantly here, which is exactly where we add the most value — matching you to the right lender for your situation.
