Why use a bond originator?

You already have a bank. But why limit yourself to one option?

Your existing bank is one option. Starting with The Bond Agency allows us to help you explore suitable lending options through participating lenders, where applicable, rather than limiting your journey to a single lender.

We handle the financing side of the process, help you understand the options presented and remain your point of contact as your application progresses.

Your estate agent, your choice. We can work alongside any estate agent you choose. There is no need to change agents to work with us — we collaborate on the financing side while you continue with your agent throughout the purchase.

More options. Clearer choices. One point of contact.

Optional next step

Get pre-approved before you start house hunting.

If you're not ready to make an offer yet, a pre-approval can help you understand your potential buying position before you begin your property search.

We'll explain what information is needed and help facilitate the pre-approval process with the relevant lender or lenders, where applicable.

Questions

Why use a bond originator if I already have a private banker?

Your private banker can provide valuable guidance from your bank's perspective. A bond originator can help you explore suitable lending options beyond a single bank, where applicable.

What happens after my bond is approved?

The bank appoints the relevant bond registration attorneys, who contact you about the legal documents and registration requirements. Transfer attorneys handle the property transfer. Your estate agent coordinates the handover once the transaction is ready.

Can I use The Bond Agency and still approach my own bank?

Yes. Exploring alternatives can help you make a more informed decision.

Do I pay The Bond Agency for your service?

No. Our bond origination service is free to you. Participating lenders pay us a commission when a bond is successfully registered.
