If you’re applying for a mortgage, you typically have two choices; go to the bank directly or use a mortgage broker. Here we compare why using a mortgage broker is a smarter alternative than going directly to the bank.
Should you use a mortgage broker or go directly to a bank?
Use a mortgage broker if you want access to a wide range of home loan options or have a more complicated financial situation which may require a specialist lender. There are many reasons why people use a mortgage broker, including:
Access to a wide range of home loan products.
Mortgage advisers can negotiate a better deal and find better rates for you.
They offer specialist expertise (for more complex lending like investment properties, bad credit and self-employed).
You can come across generic interest rates when researching online yourself, and the information isn't necessarily bespoke to your situation.

I can't thank Mortgage Match enough for helping me buy my first property in NZ after being let down at the last minute by one mortgage provider Martin.
