First Home Buyer LoanEmmanuel Marios

From first inspection to the ideal first-home loan

Buying a first home is equal parts exciting and overwhelming. Marguerite worked directly with Emmanuel to compare her options across our lender panel and land on the loan that genuinely fitted her first house — not just the first approval on the table. What stood out for her was the follow-through: regular check-ins to make sure every question and concern was resolved, right through to keys in hand.

"When it came time to find the home loan that was ideal for my first house, we collaborated directly with Emmanuel. Always making it a point to ensure that we were happy, he went out of his way to make sure that we had all we need. Derwent Finance has earned our highest commendation, without a doubt!"

Home LoanEmmanuel Marios

Approved in no time, with answers on demand

Speed matters when you've found the right property. Dorothy's application moved at pace — approved in no time — because the file was packaged properly the first time. Just as important was the communication: whenever a question came up, she could count on a near-immediate answer instead of days of silence.

Approval secured quickly with a fast-moving process
Questions answered almost immediately — any time of day
A process she describes as a highlight, not a headache

"Emmanuel is the definition of a seasoned expert. I was approved in no time, and the process moved at a fast pace. It doesn't matter what time of day it is; if I have a question for him, I can generally count on him to answer it immediately. Working with Derwent Finance was a highlight of my time, and I highly recommend them."

First Property PurchaseThe Derwent Finance Team

Close calls at settlement, resolved before they became problems

Not every settlement runs perfectly — what matters is who's in your corner when it doesn't. Tony's first property purchase hit a number of close calls on the way to settlement, and each one was picked up and resolved quickly by the team so the purchase stayed on track.

First property settled despite several close calls
Issues resolved quickly and proactively as they came up
Time made for the client even in busy periods

"Super knowledgeable and helpful staff. They are busy but always made time for us. We had a number of close calls with the settlement of our first property but the team at Derwent Finance were always quick and prompt to resolve issues as they came up. Highly recommend."
