We are looking at purchasing a property for a renovation project and need to borrow 80% from the bank. We would then like to sell the property once the renos are done.
However my mortgage broker has just mentioned that if we want to pay off the mortgage within 18 months they don't make any commission so it's not worth it for them.
I think he might ask us to pay him a fee instead of the bank paying commission.
Has anybody heard of this type of situation before?
Cheers
Yes i guess i can understand where he is coming from.
He arranges the finance, does all of the work, gets paid and then looses every cent because you pay the loan back and make your profit.
I guess couple of choices is pay him a Brokerage fee or let him use a lender that charges you a early repayment fee and yet he doesnt loose his commission.
I have a fair few clients with whom we charge a fee for our work especially developer clients and they get a bloody product.
Normally $500 which is cheap for development funding.

Yes It is known as claw back of commission
However
Look into whether any lenders on your mortgage brokers panel support loan portability
This allows you to transfer the security of the loan when you sell to
the next home purchase – the next reno project via transferring the security rather than ending the loan and saving loan establishment fees on the new property.As an example of this feature see below
See portability in links below.

In the end the broker should be able to recommend solutions that ensure you get a great product and also he does not get penalized.

Thanks heaps guys. Your answers have been a great help.
Will discuss portability with my broker.
