Project Description

The Turner’s approached me after securing a piece of land in Lower Hutt. The land was a steep section with bush on either side and has an excellent view of Wellington’s outer harbour. They did all the leg work to ensure that the design of the house meet their living requirements, maximising the views and the space.

They drilled down into the detail of how the final product would look; and also included some cost saving measures in the building process. An example of this is the Palliside bevelback weatherboards which saved them time, painting and scaffolding cost. What they saved, they spent on the interior of the house. I was surprised with the cost of their modern kitchen, which was excellent value for money.

Like all new home builds, they did have their challenges. I was able to draw upon my knowledge of the building process, to help and guide them in achieving their dream home; making it stress free for my clients. We both were pleasantly surprised at the final product and valuation.

It pays to consult and put a lot of effort in the planning stage. This is where; you sit with a mortgage broker or a banker who takes you through the building process; from initial consultation to completion.

Testimonial from the client

My husband and I had been dealing direct with banks for a home loan. The paper work and bank requests felt overwhelming for us. The process was slow and it always felt like one step forward 2 steps back. This had been going on for some time and we were feeling disheartened that we wouldn’t be able to get the loan we were after.

We had been recommended to use a mortgage broker, Joseph Williams by a friend. From the moment we met him he made us feel at ease and made the whole process less daunting. He took away all the stress of paperwork and forms that had troubled us in the past and quickly reassured us that he could make things happen. Basically he did all of the leg work for us so as to make the process as painless as possible for us. 

Joseph was in constant contact through the whole process and things happened a lot faster and smoother than we had anticipated. He delivered on not just getting us a great home loan but when we felt we could do with some extra reserves he was able to get us more and quickly! 

Joseph has checked in constantly through every aspect of the build and every draw down he made sure he followed up even once our house was built and has continued to give us advice about future plans.

He is clearly dedicated to our success and that shows through his actions throughout the process. 

We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with him in the future and without a doubt highly recommend him to anyone looking to secure a loan. 

Warm regards,

Farrand & Simone Turner
