There are many other costs you need to think about when organising a home loan:
application fees;
valuation fees;
settlement fees;
ongoing account keeping fees (which can be charged monthly or yearly);
variation fees;
repayment holiday fees;
security substitution fees (which can be used to change the property that secures a loan);
discharge fees (which apply when a loan has been repaid, enabling the mortgage to be released and the property to become unencumbered);
Lender Mortgage Insurance (LMI) fees. These are paid on all home loans by the lender to a third party or in-house insurance organisation. It’s charged to you if the loan amount is 80% or more of the lender’s valuation of the property you are purchasing.

My dealings with Scott Wilkinson at UNO, have been nothing short of exemplary. My refinance involved a bunch of moving parts due to a business debt, and Scott didn't stop until we got an excellent result! Great communication, easy online portals for data collection and, from all accounts, a great team working together to get results for their clients.
I really can't thank Scott enough, for going the extra mile(s) to make this happen for me. 10/10 would recommend his services to anyone looking at a restructure, and I won't hesitate to reach out again, should I be in the position in the future.
We’re incredibly grateful to Mike Parsons for his outstanding support and expertise. Mike took the time to genuinely understand our unique situation and demonstrated a deep level of knowledge and insight throughout the process. His ability to assess our needs and apply tailored solutions made all the difference. Thanks to his thoughtful approach and professionalism, we were able to achieve an ideal outcome that perfectly suited our circumstances. We highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and client-focused professional who truly goes the extra mile.
The UNO Home Loans team provided a great experience. I'm an expat Aussie living in the UK who was looking for an investment property back home in Australia. Mike and the team guided me through the whole process from giving me an initial indication of how much I could borrow, to finding me a lender with an appropriate loan that met my needs, and finally through the settlement process with the bank. The team were always available to answer my questions very promptly. The whole experience was very easy and hassle free.
We had a fantastic experience working with Paul at Uno. From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about us and our situation. He kept in touch throughout the entire process, always keeping us informed and making everything feel simple and stress-free. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his support made a big difference. Highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a reliable and caring broker!
We chose Uno Home Loans from their impressive web site knowing we were going to find it hard, on many fronts, to qualify for a home loan. We were incredibly fortunate to be assigned Mike Parsons as right from the get-go, despite the complexities, he hit the ground running for us. He was incredibly knowledgeable, with years of experience but what was immediately apparent and impressive was that he was totally invested in getting us over the line, doing absolutely everything possible, including working around the clock. Despite it being a relatively small loan in the order of things, Mike never missed a beat, getting docs ready, following up and answering every request from the proposed funder immediately. He kept us informed on progress the minute anything happened, and again if anything needed to be done, he was right on it. In short, we highly recommend Uno, and Mike, knowing what a remarkable job he did, over many weeks, to get us our loan. He got us a great deal, with far better rates than we expected, so we couldn't be happier. In fact, without doubt, you'd be hard pressed to find a more personable, sharp, hard working, dedicated professional who clearly prides himself on getting his customers standout results.
This is the second time I’ve worked with Mike Parsons, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for mortgage advice. He’s extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and always happy to help. Mike takes a consultative approach, presenting clear options and making the whole process stress-free. Friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again!
