Where Do I Get Started?

Take control of your mortgage journey with our comprehensive range of calculators.

Take a look at the top three tools most used by our clients:

  1. Loan Repayment Calculator – Estimate your repayments quickly based on loan amount, interest rate, and term.
  2. Borrowing Power Calculator – Find out how much you may be able to borrow based on your income and expenses.
  3. Mortgage Refinance Calculator – See the potential savings of switching lenders or adjusting your interest rate.

These tools make it easier to compare loan features, interest rates, and repayment options — helping you find the best fit for your financial goals.

Mortgage Solutions Offered

We support clients across every stage of their property and finance journey. Whether you’re stepping into your first home, refinancing to improve your loan structure, self-employed and navigating complex documentation, or growing a long-term investment portfolio – we’re here to help.

Looking to buy your first home? We understand that stepping into the property market for the first time can be both exciting and overwhelming. That’s why we provide step-by-step guidance from day one. We start by helping you understand your borrowing capacity, explain the types of home loans available, and guide you through the paperwork, approval process, and settlement. We’ll also keep you informed about any government grants or first-home buyer incentives that may apply.

Thinking about refinancing your existing mortgage? It’s one of the smartest ways to improve your financial position. Whether you’re chasing a lower interest rate, want to unlock equity for renovations, or simply need more flexibility in your loan, we’ll do the homework for you. Our team will assess your current rate, compare it with options from over 40 lenders, and help you switch with minimal fuss. We’ll also ensure you’re not missing out on any cashback offers or lender discounts that could put money back in your pocket.

If you’re self-employed, we understand the unique challenges you face when applying for a home loan. Traditional lending criteria often don’t reflect the financial strength of business owners or contractors, which is why we take the time to present your income and business position clearly and strategically. Whether through company financials, BAS statements, or alternative documentation, we’ll help package your application in a way lenders can support.

For property investors and those purchasing through a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF), our expertise extends to structuring loans that support long-term financial growth. We understand how to align your borrowing strategy with your investment goals, whether you’re building a portfolio or using your superannuation to invest in property. Our team navigates the compliance, tax, and lending complexities to make sure your strategy works not just today, but well into the future.

No matter your situation, our goal is to make the process clear, stress-free, and beneficial for you — now and over the long term. We don’t just compare loans; we help you make confident, well-informed decisions.

Local Expertise in Brunswick

At PPM Finance, we pride ourselves on having deep roots in the Brunswick community and a strong understanding of the surrounding suburbs — from North Melbourne and Coburg North to Aberfeldie and Alphington. This local expertise gives us a unique advantage when helping our clients navigate the property market.

We know the pulse of the neighbourhoods, the trends shaping demand, and what it takes to get your loan approved in today’s lending environment. Whether you’re buying, investing, or refinancing, understanding the local landscape can make all the difference. We apply our on-the-ground knowledge to provide truly personalised advice, considering everything from property values and lending policy changes to council zoning and future developments.

That insight allows us to move faster, negotiate smarter, and guide you with confidence. When you work with PPM Finance, you’re not just gaining access to over 40 lenders — you’re partnering with a team that lives and breathes your local market.

Ashley at PPM Finance has assisted me with many of my enquiries and calls for help with my home loan over the years, after setting me up with my mortgage 11 years ago. He solves my banking problems with professionalism, efficiency and a warm, helpful attitude. When I have refinanced, he has provided a range of options, worked through them with me, helping me settle for a good bank with a low interest rate. He has assisted me on many occasions and manages all challenges extremely well. After my divorce, I had many questions and issues, and he helped solve my home loan affairs and put me at ease.

Would recommend Ashley from PPM Finance!

My partner and I purchased our first property and were incredibly nervous at navigating the loan aspect. We initally went by ourseleves to get information regarding loans and we didn't feel comfortable or feel as if the bank staff had our best interest at heart. That is when I came across Ashley from PPM Finance.

His initial guidance as well as throughout the entire settlement process was amazing. He was extremley understanding and answering all our 500 questions we had being nervous entering the property market and also not understanding it very well.

We felt that Ashley had our best interests and helped us get a great deal on our home loan. We are so grateful and happy with how seamless the process was and the communication was great between all parties involved. We will be using him in the future!

So happy with the service provided by Ashley from PPM Finance. Without you we wouldn’t be living in our own home today! We never thought it was possible, but you helped us get there and made the whole process so easy. Home visits, clear communication and always available when we needed to ask a question or get some advice. Could not recommend higher! 10/10!

Like most people, I started shopping around for a home loan with the big four banks, but this turned out to be a time consuming process. I initially engaged Ashley from PPM Finance to help save time comparing options, but was surprised - in a good way - that he managed to secure me an interest rate well below what I would have gotten on my own. He also helped tweak the final product so it's got all the features I need. Highly recommended.
