20+ Years of Providing Mortgage and Financial Brokerage in Williamstown
Your home. Your business. Your next move.
As the mortgage broker Williamstown turns to for more than just home loans, we shop the whole market so you don’t have to.
Refinancing
Every lender has a different appetite, and the gap between the wrong one and the right one can cost you thousands over the life of your loan. With 90+ lenders on our panel, across home loans, commercial, equipment, unsecured and private lending, we know exactly who to approach for your particular scenario. As a mortgage broker Williamstown clients turn to for exactly this kind of variety, we don't just find you a lender. We find you the right one.
Home Loans
Buying your first home, upgrading, or growing your portfolio? The right loan is the difference between a good deal and a great one, and finding it shouldn't feel like a guessing game. We compare the market for you, work out exactly what you can borrow, and match you with a lender who actually says yes. It's this hands-on approach that's made us the Williamstown mortgage broker so many buyers end up recommending to friends and family.
Development Finance
Just because the big four have pulled back from development finance doesn't mean your project has to stall. Townhouses, apartments, knockdown rebuilds- we know exactly which lenders are still actively backing developments like yours, and how to navigate the policies, contributions and costs that come with it. You bring the vision. We'll bring the finance to make it happen.
Commercial Lending
Cash flow gaps and slow-moving banks shouldn't be what holds your business back. We'll dig into your cash flow requirements and match you with the facility that actually fits, from government-backed business loans and unsecured overdrafts to trade and debtor finance. Even lesser-known options like Insurance Premium Funding (IPF), which spreads your annual insurance premium into manageable monthly payments, are on the table. We'll walk you through every option so you can make the call with confidence, because we're just as much a business lender as we are a mortgage broker Williamstown residents already trust.
SMSF Property Lending
Property inside your super can be one of the smartest moves you make for retirement, if it's structured properly from day one. Get it wrong, and you could be facing compliance headaches or a lender who won't budge. We'll help you work out whether an SMSF loan is right for your fund, or guide you through setting one up the right way from the start. And if you're refinancing an SMSF loan that was with one of the big four, most of them have stopped offering this kind of lending altogether. We know exactly who still will.
Equipment Finance
Paying cash for trucks, machinery, or equipment ties up money your business could be using elsewhere. We help you finance the asset instead, structured the smart way to optimise your tax-deductible contributions, so your cash stays working where it matters. New or used, cars, trucks, trailers, boats, solar systems, racking, manufacturing equipment and more- if your business needs it, we'll help you finance it.
A Mortgage & Finance Broker Trusted by 4,000+ Williamstown Locals
We’re the mortgage brokers Williamstown locals trust with a home loan, and the finance broker business owners call when the bank says no. Here’s why:
One Broker for Everything
Home loan today, business loan next year, equipment finance after that. You’ll always be talking to the same person and not starting over with someone new. It’s why we’ve become the Williamstown mortgage broker clients stick with for years.
Local, Not Just Listed
We’re a genuine Williamstown mortgage broker, not a page someone built to rank for the suburb. Our office is a walk from the water. We actually live and work here.
90+ Lenders Compared
That’s 90+ chances to hear yes, instead of one chance to hear no. And we’ve worked with those lenders for almost 2 decades now. So we already know the process.
Absolutely No Cost to You
For most home loans and refinancings, we’re paid by the lender once your loan settles. Not by you. And no, this is not buried in fine print either.
Oscar&Charles’ Five Steps to Finance
Here’s how it works when you partner with a mortgage broker Williamstown residents already trust.
To understand your financial and lifestyle goals, we’ll take the time to find an appropriate finance product, whether it’s a home loan or a business finance product.
It’s the same personalised approach that’s made us the mortgage broker Williamstown residents trust with their plans. We’ll calculate your borrowing power, work out repayments, and answer any questions you have.
Once we’ve helped you choose the right loan, we’ll prepare the application and guide you through the process.
Depending on the loan type, the lender will either provide conditional approval and may request additional information, such as a property valuation, a credit check, or other financial information.
We’ll stay in touch with the lender and keep you informed along the way.
Your loan is a significant financial commitment. Once your loan documents arrive, we’ll organise a time to meet and help you complete them.
If you’re purchasing a property, we’ll work with your solicitor or conveyancer to help organise settlement directly with the lender, according to the settlement date on the contract of sale.
But if you’re refinancing your existing home or business loan, we’ll liaise directly with the lender to exchange the documents.
