Question 1
Should I say if the ACT property is a house, townhouse, or apartment?
Yes. Property type is one of the fastest ways to make the brief more useful and less generic for a mortgage broker.

Common mortgage brokers briefs in Australian Capital Territory
These are the mortgage situations that ACT borrowers most often raise when they need more than a generic broker introduction.
Purchase
Canberra home purchases and pre-approvals
Use this route when you want a broker to compare lender options for a Canberra or ACT purchase and you need borrowing capacity, deposit, and timing considered together.
- Deposit and target budget
- Search stage or contract timing
- Owner-occupier, upgrader, or first-home context
Refinance
Refinancing an existing ACT mortgage
Use this when you want to compare your current lender against other ACT-suitable options for lower repayments, cleaner structure, or a broader rate review.
- Current lender and rate type
- Cash-flow, equity, or restructuring goal
- Any servicing or valuation issues
Apartment
Apartment and townhouse borrowing in the ACT
Use this route when the property type matters and the broker needs to understand whether the loan is for a house, townhouse, or apartment before comparing lenders.
- Property type and intended use
- Owner-occupier versus investment
- Any timing or structure constraints
Professional household
Dual-income, professional, and structured-income households
Use this page when the borrower profile involves multiple incomes, professional roles, salary packaging, or self-employed components and the broker needs a clearer picture before comparing lenders.
- Household income structure
- Available financial documents
- Any lender-policy issues already encountered
Questions borrowers ask before choosing an ACT mortgage broker
These are the questions that usually turn an ACT mortgage brief from generic into something a broker can act on quickly.
Question 2
Can I use this page for refinance as well as purchase?
Yes. Explain whether the goal is lower repayments, better structure, debt consolidation, or equity access so the broker can judge lender fit.
Question 3
Is this page suitable for joint or dual-income households?
Yes. Include how the income is structured and whether both borrowers are straightforward salary, self-employed, or a mix of both.
Question 4
What if I am only at the pre-approval stage?
That is still a valid ACT mortgage brief. Share your rough budget, deposit, timeline, and property type so the broker can guide the next step.
