Thank you Peter, Lynne and team for making our Refinance as smooth and seamless as possible. We were apprehensive on bearing our financial sole, but they assisted us with no judgement.
They listened to our needs and provided many options so we could make an informed decision.
Every phone call and email were answered promptly, with no question too big or too small.
Once our decision was made, we were kept informed on our application progression.

We would highly recommend Peter and Team at Mortgage Choice

From the very first meeting with Peter, we knew we were in good hands when it came to refinancing. Peter and the team listened to what we were seeking and put many options on the table. All our questions were met with thoughtful, knowledgeable answers. We were always kept up to date via email. We felt they genuinely cared about our outcome. We would highly recommend Peter and the team at Mortgage Choice.

Peter and Lynne were so helpful with getting our loan - as first home buyers we hadn't been through the process before, Peter and Lynne talked us through each step, kept us informed and ran through different options with us so we felt we were making an informed decision and getting the best deal that suited our needs. Easy to communicate with, by phone or email, they handled our application efficiently and we knew we were in good hands. Highly recommended if you want a stress free process

I wasn't happy where I was living but wasn't sure what my options were - do I sell, rent it out, what can I afford to borrow? A friend suggested I talk to Peter, so we caught up over Zoom during lockdown, and he clearly explained my options and answered all my questions. I loved that I didn't feel any pressure from him, as anything financial makes me nervous. Six months later I was finally ready to go for it and got back in touch, and we picked up where we left off, and then I was pre-approved - not long after that, I bought my new place! Peter was available to answer all my additional questions that cropped up, and Lynne was a great support in tying up the loose ends. Thanks Peter and Lynne!

We were recommended Mortgage Choice, specifically Peter and Lynne by a good friend and we're grateful of the help and service that they have provided. We knew little about the ins and outs of the industry which was a stressful, confusing and tiring process already. There was a bit of back and forth with the bank and anxious waiting time but they were so supportive, calm and very reassuring. They definitely take your best interests to heart and spend genuine time to answer any queries (literally at any time of day!), even if at times I felt like it was a stupid question or I was annoying Peter too many times. We cannot thank Peter and Lynne enough for the beyond exceptional service and I'm sure we'll be back throughout the loan term, let alone passing on more recommendations :)

My partner and I are very happy that we worked with Peter and Lynne. As we were very much new to home loans and properties, it was at first rather daunting and overwhelming. However, both Peter and Lynne were very reassuring, patient and took the time to answer all of our many questions. They made the process very clear and transparent which certainly settled both our nerves and made us feel more comfortable. We learnt very quickly how important it is to be quick when it comes to purchasing a property, and we are very appreciative at how rapid Peter and Lynne would respond to emails, prepare evaluations and answer questions, before proceeding with offers or auctions. Thank you Peter and Lynne, we will be recommending you both.

Absolutely loved our experience with Peter and Lynne. In all our contacts with Peter, he was always really knowledgeable, patient, always made time for us, answered our questions and never mucked us about. He's great at taking the harder to understand financial stuff and speaking it in plain English, and is really clear about the most likely outcomes of your choices, and what might be best for you.
Lynne was always super responsive on emails even when my wife and I took ages to come back with documents and made every effort to makes things easier.
I appreciated Mortgage Choice's policy where, no matter who you go with, they advise any incentives they are provided, so everything is transparent.
If you need help getting finance for a home, or refinancing, use these guys.

Peter and Lynne are extremely professional and helpful . I was looking for a mortgage broker sometime in July to understand how the whole process works and contacted Peter although I had no immediate plans of buying a property with lockdown and rest of the restrictions in place.
Peter explained me the detailed process and the stakeholders involved. He specifically helped me understand what role each of them played when someone is buying a property.
Next was to find a right lender and to get a pre approval in place. Peter and Lynne helped me with clear set of instructions and list of documents that were needed . The process was extremely smooth.
Then came the property search . Here again Peter helped me with standard valuation reports for shortlisted properties to understand what the approximate price range might be .I might have asked him for not less than 20 property reports and everytime he was extremely kind to answer my queries and help me with the reports.
Once the property was finalized, Peter and Lynne helped me get the approval from the lender and the process was again smooth. Peter and Lynne have years of experience and amazing knowledge .
Thanks again Peter and Lynne. You made the whole experience of buying the property pleasent .

Edward

Can not recommend Peter and Lynne highly enough. At the start of this home buying journey our knowledge about the whole financial process was minimal and it simply felt like a mine field we were trying to walk through blindfolded.
Over the course of the process Peter and Lynne were happy to answer all our questions, regardless of how simple they were. They were both very quick in responding to our texts, emails and phone calls, whether we asked them in the middle of a business day or when we were stressed at 9pm on a weekend.
Peter also referred to us to building insurers and a financial advisor that has helped further our knowledge of how to ensure financial security without feeling pressured to purchase beyond our needs.
Having successfully bought our first home, Peter and Lynne were pleased for us and were have been left with a feeling of confidence that we have secured a great deal. You cant go wrong with Peter and Lynne.

My wife and I would like to pass on a HUGE thank you to Peter & Lynn for negotiating & working their way through a very difficult loan that was required for a purchase through our SMSF. Every other broker (specialists in the field of SMSF lending) were unable to facilitate a loan for this particular purpose. Peter & Lynn had the patience & expertise to work through the many steps and process’ required to get this loan over the line. Thank you again. We will be sure to use your services for any future finance required.

We’ve dealt with Peter and Lynne for many years. They’re extremely knowledgeable and always replying to emails promptly and always answering my many questions.

Can not recommend Peter and Lynne highly enough. At the start of this home buying journey our knowledge about the whole financial process was minimal and it simply felt like a mine field we were trying to walk through blindfolded. Over the course of the process Peter and Lynne were happy to answer all our questions, regardless of how simple they were. They were both very quick in responding to our texts, emails and phone calls, whether we asked them in the middle of a business day or when we were stressed at 9pm on a weekend. Peter also referred to us to building insurers and a financial advisor that has helped further our knowledge of how to ensure financial security without feeling pressured to purchase beyond our needs. Having successfully bought our first home, Peter and Lynne were pleased for us and we have been left with a feeling of confidence that we have secured a great deal. You can’t go wrong with Peter and Lynne.

Refinancing my home loan was done so easily with the help of Peter and Lynne. Not only did Peter help find me a loan that is going to save me thousands of dollars each year, he assisted me through the application, when I needed it (and I did) and the whole process took no more than two weeks. He then prompted a change in home and contents insurance which is also going to save me money.
I'm so pleased with the service because, although I didn't need to make any changes, it has turned out to be a very good financial decision for me.

Peter has been helpful throughout the process of purchasing our first home. He's provided all the information that we needed to make an informed decision with the loan to go with and he's answered all our questions and really made the whole process a lot less stressful than it could have been. Would definitely recommend Peter for any property buyers out there.

It's been really great dealing with Peter since our first refinance nearly 10 years ago. Since then we have always stuck with him for all mortgage related matters and queries. He has always gone above and beyond in assisting us, providing reassurance on and advice on the best course of action, especially with changes to the market and economy. Was a pleasure dealing with the entire team, with the constant updates on progress of applications. We would recommend them to anyone who wants reliable and honest advice.

Thanks to Peter, Lynne and the team for their exceptional service throughout the home loan process. They made things so simple and easy to understand. I've spoken to a few brokers in the past but nothing compares to the service I received from Peter, Lynne and the team. If I had a question, they would get back to me asap. They would always go above and beyond and more importantly had my best interest at heart. Thanks Peter and Lynn for your help and I wouldn't consider going elsewhere.

Peter and Lynne just helped us refinance to a much better rate than we were on. It was so easy and they both were with us every step of the way. Communication is great and they follow up straight away with us and the bank to make sure things are progressing. The whole process was made very easy.

Peter helped my wife and I purchase our first home, he made us feel like family from our first meeting and has always taken great care of us. Peter's professionalism and knowledge of the ever changing housing market and tailored loan options is impeccable. Several years after our first home purchase with Peter, he helped us again to buy our first investment property! Peter and his lovely wife and partner Lynne are the real deal and I can highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying a home or investment property. Don't waste your time anywhere else, give Peter & Lynne a call, you will be impressed!

Peter and his team at Mortgage Choice Blackburn are amazing We first met Peter 11 years ago when we purchased our first home. Since this time we have witnessed many others weather the financial hardships that come along with having over extended themselves financially. Starting a family and subsequent changes to income, made things financially difficult at times, but nowhere near as challenging as they could of been, if we had not had the guidance and voice of reason that Peter Ruddock provided us. We were so grateful to have had a broker who encouraged us to dream big, but most importantly, only borrow what we could truly afford, knowing the financial challenges we would experience as our family grew. When it was time to refinance we had no hesitation in returning to Peter, knowing that he would make the process as painless as possible, and give us advice we could trust. We weren't disappointed Peter and Vicki's attention to detail, clear communication, and understanding of our needs made the whole process a relative breeze. We would highly recommend anyone looking to speak to an honest, expert in the industry, to speak to Peter and his team at Mortgage Choice Blackburn.

Peter and Lynne do a great job. I have utilized their services on at least 3 occasions now after having them recommended to me. I recently had a very difficult experience with obtaining finance and Peter went above and beyond to help me.
So I was disappointed recently to hear the Royal Commission findings for brokers. I hope any changes dont impact Peters business too much. I personally dont begrudge his commission as we all need to get paid for our services and I think Peter and Lynne do a great job.

Wonderful experience with Peter and his team. Peter helped me to purchase my first home in Australia by doing all my paperwork and submitting to the lender of my choice. I was informed regularly throughout the process of my application. No problems or hazzles and I was happy to have my loan approved within my settlement time.
Thank you Blackburn team. Keep up the good work.

The service from Mortgage Choice for the purchase of my apartment has been superb.

I really appreciate the dedication this firm does to ensure the application goes through smoothly, and by giving me regular updates throughout my application. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Peter, Lynne and Vicki have just been fantastic throughout the refinancing process. We had various roadblocks along the way (including a missing Title!!) but they graciously accommodated us while everything was sorted out and could not have been more helpful. Their respective communication was prompt and thorough. This is now the third time we have used Peter's expertise for home loan finance and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking leading industry advice and guidance.

I've never gone through the process of buying a house before and Peter was great from the beginning. He gave me advise in language I could follow, and made sure I was financially set up for all the hidden costs that you get once contracts are signed and settlement day comes. I was always able to email him or Vicki when I had questions, needed advise, or just needed something explained to me. I have had plenty of property reports sent through over the last few months which were a great guide when putting in offers. You never know how long it will take to buy a place, but Peter and Vicki were always there to help.

I really felt the whole time that you were committed to helping me out and I have no hesitation in recommending you. Thanks for everything!

Peter and Lynne are a good team. From choosing a home loan to settlement, they ensure the process is as simple and painless as it can be. They are very responsive to my enquiries, providing answers and taking actions on short notice. I am very impressed with Peter and Lynne's service, and will definitely go to them for any future home loan needs.
For the first time buyer, it might be helpful to know which party (bank/lawyers, conveyancer,etc.) does what, since they work with each other behind the scenes and I wasn't sure if things were progressing. But in reality, if I had any questions or worries, one email to Lynne always got it resolved, so it's not a big issue.

My previous experience with a broker was disheartening - sketchy information, mistakes, minimal communication - I never wanted to use a broker again. A friend recommended Peter. I was hesitant, but I gave him a call. Within minutes of talking to Peter, and emails from him immediately after getting off the phone, I had the information I needed to make a decision on what to do with my home. When we moved to next level to organise finance, Peter guided us clearly through the process, and with help from Lynne (his partner), they had us sorted within a couple of weeks, even with the slowness we know banks work at. I have use Peter and Lynne a number of times now, and process was always smooth and a lot easier than I would have expected. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, straight forward broker service.
