Trent Werrett – Loan Broker

I’m a WA local boy, born and raised in Bunbury before moving to Perth. After high school, I attended Curtin University, completing my Bachelor of Commerce (Property & Finance) in 2012.

After earning my degree, I worked in several loan broker businesses and a major bank, gaining indispensable experience in finance and property. As I gained experience, I became passionate about supporting people through their financial journeys with helpful information and competitive loans. That is why I started up my own business in 2022.

A property owner myself, I understand the ups and downs of the journey. My job is to ensure that the journey is smooth from the beginning to beyond settlement. Above all, I want my customers to feel confident and secure in their financial decisions.

In conclusion, I am enthusiastic about financial freedom and independence. As my customer, you will benefit from shared knowledge as together we will discuss how to save time and/or money in order to achieve your financial goals.

What is an offset account?

A mortgage offset account is a savings or transaction account that can be linked to your home loan.

The balance of the account ‘offsets’ daily against the balance of your home loan before interest is calculated. Consequently, an offset account can help you cut years off your home loan term and save you money on interest.

If you’d like to know more about offset accounts and how they can impact your interest and repayments, please contact us.

What is HEM?

HEM stands for Household Expenditure Measure. When you’re applying for a home loan, many applications rely on this measurement tool to estimate a borrowers living expenses. In other words, HEM measures how much money someone can afford to borrow.

To clarify, if an applicant declares their living expenses below HEM, the lender will do a deep dive into their bank statements to verify the reason for their low expenses. As a result, this may or may not work in your favour.

If you’d like to know more about HEM and how it can impact your borrowing capacity, please contact us.

What is LVR?

The Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) is the amount you’re borrowing, represented as a % of the value of the property you are buying. In other words, the bigger your deposit, the lower your LVR will be.

In addition, if your LVR is greater than 80%, you’ll generally need to get Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
