We do the heavy lifting

We’ll research across 90+ lenders, run the numbers, and come back with a shortlist of 3-4 options that genuinely suit your situation — with honest pros and cons.

We guide you through the paperwork

No jargon, no confusion. We explain every document, handle every form, and keep you updated at every stage. You’re never left wondering what’s happening.

4

Settlement — and beyond

We celebrate with you when the keys arrive. Then we keep checking in, monitoring rates, and making sure your loan keeps working as hard as you do.

A relaxed, friendly consultation between NFIS and happy clients

Why our clients keep coming back and sending friends.

It’s not about being the cheapest or the flashiest. It’s about being the broker who remembers your name, checks in when rates change, and actually picks up the phone when you call.

  • We’re independent we work for you, not a bank
  • Our service is free we’re paid by the lender, not you
  • We access 90+ lenders so you’re never limited to one option
  • We stay in touch after settlement because your relationship with us doesn’t end there
  • We’re local you can find us, call us, and meet us face to face
We were terrified of the home buying process. James made us feel like we had someone in our corner from day one. He explained everything in plain English, found us a lender when the big banks said no, and was just genuinely lovely to work with.

James Galliers, Senior Mortgage Broker at NFIS

James Galliers

Senior Mortgage Broker

James has spent his career helping South West families and individuals navigate the mortgage landscape. He believes everyone deserves clear, honest advice — delivered with a smile and zero jargon. When he’s not working, he’s right here in the community he serves.

Questions we get all the time.

Do I have to pay you for your service?
In most cases, no. We’re typically paid by the lender, not by you. This means you get expert advice and a dedicated broker at no extra cost. There may be some situations where a fee applies — we’ll always be upfront about this from the very beginning.
How is a broker different from going direct to a bank?
A bank can only offer you their own products. We compare across 90+ lenders — major banks, digital banks, credit unions, and specialist lenders. That means more options, better rates, and a loan that’s actually tailored to your situation.
I’m self-employed. Will that be a problem?
Not at all. While some traditional banks can be rigid with non-salary income, we work with lenders who understand alternative income structures. We’ll find the right lender for your unique financial picture.
How long does the whole process take?
From our first conversation to pre-approval, it’s typically 1-2 weeks — depending on how quickly you can gather documents. From pre-approval to settlement is usually another 4-6 weeks. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
What if I’ve been declined by a bank before?
One bank’s “no” doesn’t mean every bank will say no. Different lenders have different criteria. We’ll assess your situation honestly, identify the right lenders for your profile, and present your application in the strongest possible way.

Let’s have a proper chat.

No obligation. No hard sell. Just a friendly conversation about your goals and what’s possible. Most of our clients start with a quick phone call — and end up with the right loan in weeks.
