About Us

Andrew and Kirsty Best established Living Home Loans in 2016, because they wanted to help property buyers achieve financial peace of mind. They saw a mortgage broker's role as a way to offer clients choices in the property purchasing process, and to ensure their clients could still maintain the lifestyle they wanted.

Living Home Loans aims to cultivate property ownership dreams by securing your key to success.

Unlike many other brokers, Living Home Loans don't stop at obtaining your property loan. They aim to build a long-term relationship with you, ensuring they focus on your best interests. They'll work with your real estate, builder and solicitor to ensure the home finance process runs smoothy. They'll also stay in contact with you, to ensure your loan continues to be the right loan for you and your changing circumstances.

They understand your unique set of circumstances, means you require home finance that suits your current lifestyle and future goals.

I cannot express enough gratitude towards Kirsty and Lindy at Living Home Loans for their exceptional assistance in our recent journey of purchasing not one, but two homes! From the very first consultation, their professionalism and dedication to their clients were evident. Kirsty consistently went above and beyond to ensure that every step of the process was smooth and stress-free. They took the time to understand our unique needs and preferences, tailoring their services specifically for us. Their willingness to answer our myriad of questions, no matter how small, made us feel valued and supported. I highly recommend Kirsty and Lindy at Living Home Loans to anyone looking to purchase a home. You will be in the most capable and caring hands! Thank you once again, Kirsty and Lindy, for making our home-buying experience truly unforgettable!

Roxy Stuart

I have used the services of Living Home Loans on 3 occasions and have been 150% happy with their services. Will never go anywhere else and highly recommend the team to anyone and everyone. Thank you Kirsty for your dedication and support. Jenny

Jenny Gibbs

I found Kirsty by chance and what a life changing moment that was! From the very first conversation with Lindi, Kirsty's receptionist, briefly outlining our circumstances and then our actual meeting with Kirsty. Lindi told me that day that Kirsty 'has a magic wand' and it really seemed that way for us. Kirsty really cares. She really is the best! We are a retired couple and we do not have the amount of income that we had when we were younger and working full-time. We did not even consider applying for a loan at our age. We just thought it not possible. We had a substantial deposit but without more funds there was no way we could break into the competitive property market. We thought we would be renting forever. Anyhow, after our first meeting with Kirsty, she gave us hope that some lenders do not have an age criteria. Sure enough our mortgage application was approved and we are now ready to move into our new property that we just purchased and it's just perfect for us. We are thrilled! Please make an appointment with Kirsty. She told us that she can usually find a way to help. Dreams do come true!
