First Home Buyers – Don’t Have a 20% Deposit? No Problem!

“Discovery Home Loans saved us - Never deal with a Bank again Tane at Discovery Loans was incredible , I previously dealt with banks and if you are a company, self employed even slightly different to a regular employee the they drown you in paperwork, delays and red tape Tane is a straight shooter & cut through everything , did all of the background time consuming stuff in a matter of days , made us feel confident in what we could ask for and we could honestly share our info etc without fear of being rejected or triggering a red flag , Not only did he find more borrowing power than we expected to have , he also got us a lower rate & I think no fees at all , and it was all done start to finish in a couple of weeks , in the end it was us that slowed it down because we were not ready , This is the opposite every awful bank experience I’ve ever had with my mortgages I would seriously give 6 stars if that was an option , he really saved us” — Keri TTrustpilot 21st September 2025

“Tane was absolutely fantastic!! If I can give him 100 out of 10 I would! Right from the beginning he was extremely professional and very easy to talk to and work with. It was my first home loan and I asked probably stupid questions since I didn't know much, he answers every single one them even when I repeated the same questions. He was so patient and so eager to help me. In my opinion he went above and beyond! I couldn't have asked for a better broker! He is a true asset to your company!
