What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Guidance through the finance journey from the earliest enquiry is the theme that recurs most in feedback about this Newcastle lender and loan agency, with customers describing a complicated process made straightforward. Darby is named repeatedly across accounts, supported by colleagues such as Rhiannon, Emma and Mary, and reviewers consistently highlight their knowledge and readiness to field questions at every stage.

A handful of customers describe prompt communication, with queries answered quickly and updates supplied throughout home loan applications, refinancing and property purchases. First home buyers note that the experience felt less stressful than anticipated, while others mention that business-related finances were handled capably, including refinancing an investment loan to a more favourable rate and securing finance for an additional property. A point that comes up often is the transparency maintained across each step, with options and lender information explained clearly before decisions were made.

Repeat clients describe years of continued use, citing dependable outcomes and a sense that their interests were safeguarded. Professionalism, patience and an approachable manner are mentioned frequently, along with efficiency in reaching settlement for purchases. Feedback also notes that advice was delivered in plain language, making documentation and loan structures easy to follow, and that the same level of care continued after finance was approved.

They are knowledgeable, responsive and always willing to take the time to explain our options. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and we felt well supported every step of the way. Highly recommend.

Rhiannon was incredible and very hardworking, staying in touch with us and providing advice and updates through every step of our journey. Our finances are a little more complex with running a business and we had been let down by our last broker, however she managed to refinance 1 of our investment loans to a much better rate with a major bank as well as helping us to secure another loan for a new property. I highly recommend Rhi and the team at DT Funding.
