Why Borrowers Switch

A broker relationship that doesn't end at settlement.

Most refinances and purchases are a one-time transaction. We built CHL to work differently β€” many banks, one focus: you, before and after settlement.

The Problem

Your broker wrote the loan, got paid, and you never heard from them again β€” even as rates moved and better deals appeared.

What We Do

We review your position after settlement, not just before it, so you're not the one left to notice when something's changed.

The Problem

Five different repayments at five different rates β€” a car loan, two cards, a personal loan β€” bleeding money every month.

What We Do

Where it makes sense, we look at consolidating higher-rate debt into a properly structured loan, so your finances get simpler, not messier.

Lender Panel

Many banks. One conversation.

Lender availability and suitability depend on your circumstances and CHL's current panel and accreditations. We do not have access to every lender in the market.

Broker vs. The Old Way

The old way, versus the CHL way.

The Old Way

  • Broker writes the loan, then disappears
  • You find out about a rate change after it's already cost you
  • Generic forms with no real strategy behind them
  • One transaction, then silence

The CHL Way

  • A documented strategy before we touch a lender
  • Ongoing review as your circumstances and the market change
  • One focus β€” you β€” from first call to settlement
  • A relationship that continues after settlement
About Us

Many banks to choose from. One focus: you.

Canberra Home Loans is a specialist mortgage brokerage led by Principal Broker Subash Basnet, who brings an accounting background to every loan, supported by business development managers in Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane and Hobart. Our team reads your numbers before recommending a lender, builds a lending structure around your actual financial picture, and stays with your loan after settlement instead of moving on to the next sale.

Too much of this industry works the same way: a broker writes the loan and disappears, your rate quietly drifts above what new customers get offered, and nobody checks back in when your circumstances change. We built Canberra Home Loans to work differently β€” many lenders to compare, one focus on you, a strategy before a sale, and an ongoing review instead of a one-off transaction.

Our goal is simple: get you into the right loan the first time, then make sure it stays the right loan.

Common Questions

Home loan questions, answered simply.

General information only β€” a broker call will give you a personal answer.

How much can I borrow for a home loan?

Borrowing power depends on your income, expenses, existing debts and the lender's assessment rate. Book a free call for a figure tailored to you.

How much deposit do I need to buy a home?

Most lenders prefer 20% to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance, but many buyers purchase with a 5–10% deposit using LMI or eligible government first-home-buyer schemes.

Can self-employed borrowers get a home loan?

Yes β€” lenders assess company, trust or director income differently using tax returns, BAS or alternative documentation. Ask us about your situation.

Is now a good time to refinance?

It depends on your current rate, balance and goals. A quick loan review shows whether refinancing could reduce repayments or improve your structure.

Do you only work with Canberra clients?

No β€” we started out in Canberra and still work with ACT clients every day, but we're headquartered in Sydney and lend nationwide, across every state and territory, by phone and video appointment.

Does it cost anything to use a broker?

No β€” brokers are typically paid by the lender once your loan settles, not by you. We'll always be upfront about how we're paid.
