About Us

Our experienced team makes your dream of owning property a reality!

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.
