We Love Melbourne

We love Melbourne and all that it has to offer. From its vibrant café culture and renowned restaurants to the shopping, entertainment and unique alleyways, it’s a city we’re proud to call home.

What makes Melbourne truly special, however, is its people. As one of Australia’s most diverse cities, Melbourne is home to people from all walks of life, and that’s reflected in our client base. We work with salaried employees, self-employed business owners, professionals who receive bonuses, and clients who earn commission-based income.

While every client’s circumstances are unique, most share common goals: securing a competitive interest rate, finding a loan that suits their needs, and paying off their mortgage sooner where possible.

That’s where our expertise makes a difference. Every lender assesses income and borrowing capacity differently, and lending policies can vary significantly. Some lenders are more favourable towards self-employed borrowers, while others are better suited to clients who earn commissions or bonuses.

As a trusted home loan broker in Melbourne, our role is to understand your situation and match you with the most suitable lender and loan product. We help home buyers, property investors and homeowners looking to refinance compare options from more than 60 lenders and secure a solution tailored to their goals.

Since 2005, we’ve been helping clients access competitive home loan solutions from a wide range of banks and financial institutions. With over 20 years of experience and access to more than 60 lenders, we can help you find a loan that aligns with your goals, budget and long-term plans.

Our role is to simplify the process, reduce the stress and ensure you fully understand your options before making a decision. Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing an existing loan or investing in property, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Declan was great.  He clearly explained the process and what he needed from us.  Vanquish has a simple online portal where everything you need to supply is listed clearly and you can upload it all once in one place and the job is done.  Declan knows what information the banks need and how they want it presented.  He was very responsive and turned everything around quickly.  We had spent weeks engaging with banks, going round and round and making little progress.  Seven days after we contacted Declan we had our loan approved.  Wew highly recommend Decland and Vanquish.

I was lucky to already know that Declan would be the best person to help me make my financial decisions regarding my first home loan. He’s not just extremely knowledgeable and reliable, but also conscientious of how to relay information in a way that I could understand in order to make my own informed decisions. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

Declan is a good friend and industry colleague and I am writing this review as an industry peer. Declan is a caring, kind and good natured person with vast experience as a mortgage broker. He runs a boutique broking business and is hands on from 1st contact to settlement and beyond. He will take your information, return and articulate the exact solution you need to acheive your goal. If you are wanting a thorough, thoughtful and seriously professional mortgage broker, that offers a personalised service in Thornbury and Northcote then Declan is the broker for you.

Declan was instrumental in the purchase of my new home. His knowledge, expertise, and guidance throughout the process was invaluable, and his regular communications meant that I was fully aware at each step throughout the journey. I appreciated him presenting options without bias and letting me know the pros and cons of each lender so I could make a fully informed decision. This is my second time purchasing a home with Declan's assistance, and my first interstate, and I will continue to use his services into the future - highly recommended.

Declan has been very thorough and really considered our special circumstances. We had some time constraints and he did his best and worked very hard to give us the best options so we can make it to our deadline. He listened to our concerns and explained the process very well. He gave us realistic figures so that we can make better decisions that will be healthy for us financially. Highly recommend him and he is such a pleasure to work with!

If you’ve stumbled across Vanquish Group, you are one of the lucky ones. Declan has been my mortgage broker for well over a decade but he would be able to clarify the exact year and probably the exact date and time given he’s an absolute wizard for detail! His service is a unique blend of mindfulness, patience and masterful precision. Declan simplifies the most complex processes for me when it comes to financing and refinancing my properties, including loans within an SMSF. Save your time and don’t bother looking any further. Declan gives mortgage brokers an outstanding name.
