I can help you with other services through my referral partners set out below:
I can also help you with KiwiSaver. Please let me know if this is of interest and I will provide you with information about the KiwiSaver providers I use and the extent to which I can help you.
I am unable to offer legal or tax advice and recommend you consult your solicitor or accountant for this type of advice.
Generally, I won’t charge you any fees for the financial advice I provide to you. This is possible because, on settlement of a loan, I usually receive commission from the lender [which is explained in the commission section of this Disclosure Guide]. Any exceptions to this general position are explained below.
If these exceptions apply to you, I will let you know.
I may charge you a one-off fee if the following occurs:
(a) When I don’t receive commission from the lender: If you request that I provide financial advice and I do not receive a commission from the lender, I may charge you a one-off fee. Any such fee would be agreed and authorised by you in writing before I complete the services and would be based on an estimate of the time spent providing the advice.
This may arise in the rare event that you request that I provide services in relation to either a product that is offered by a lender that I do not hold an accreditation with, or a product that is outside my usual arrangements with my approved lenders.
(b) When I have to repay commission to the lender: In the event that, in the 28 month period following drawdown of your loan, your loan is fully or partially repaid or the terms materially changed, and a lender requires that I repay the applicable commission to them, we may charge you a one-off fee. Any such fee would be no more than $3,000 (plus GST, if any) and would be calculated based on a rate of $250 (plus GST, if any) per hour of my time spent providing financial advice to you in connection with the applicable loan. The fee I charge you will not exceed the amount of commission I have to repay to the lender.
You will be invoiced for any one-off fee and will be given 30 days to make payment.
Mortgage and Insurance New Zealand Limited can charge you the client/applicant a fee of up to $250 to cover the costs of arranging a finance pre-approval should you the client/applicant not proceed and settle with the pre-approval within 6 months; withhold information affecting the application; not proceed with our pre-approval due to engaging the services of another financial adviser/lender directly prior to, during or after the process of pre-approved finance.
This $250 fee will be invoiced to you with the requirement to make payment within 30 days.
This $250 fee may be rebated back to you at a future stage if a loan is settled through Mortgage and Insurance New Zealand Limited.
Commissions & incentives
On settlement of a loan, I usually receive a commission payment from the applicable lender.
The commission is generally of an upfront commission payment, but I may also receive an ongoing trail commission payment. The upfront commission is calculated as a percentage of the loan at drawdown. A trail commission is calculated as a percentage of the loan outstanding at the relevant time I may also receive a fixed rate roll over fee from the applicable lender if I assist in refixing your loan.
The maximum percentage that each lender uses to calculate upfront and trail commissions, and the maximum fixed rate roll over fees (refix fees), are set out in the table below. If there are any variations to these percentages or other commission payments that may apply, specific to your loan application, I will disclose this to you as part of my advice process.
I may also receive a referral fee or commission payment if I refer you to our referral partners listed above. I will give you more information about how that referral fee or commission is calculated, before proceeding.
From time to time, I may receive incentives or rewards from lenders. For example, they may provide me with gifts, tickets to events or other incentives.
