Frequently Asked Questions
How does a mortgage adviser work?
​
We shop the banks for you ourselves and search out the best home loan solution for your particular circumstances. We are passionate that we give you an “unbiased” and informed choice when it comes to recommending a bank/lender to you.

What are your fees?
​
Unless specifically negotiated in advance the financial advice that Rule Financial Services provides to our clients for a mortgage is always free. The lender pays our fee so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by asking us to organise your home loan for you.
