Why A Broker, Not A Bank

Watermans Bay is one of the smallest and most tightly held suburbs on Perth’s northern coast, first settled by fisherman Alfred Waterman in 1908 and mostly built out by the early 1960s. It’s an older, established community, homes here tend to be held for decades rather than turned over, and more than half the suburb is protected bushland at Star Swamp Reserve. In practice, that means we see long-term owners refinancing, downsizers and retirees moving into a smaller beachside home, and clients building an investment property in a tightly held coastal pocket.

Our Services

  • Business Finance

  •  

    Business Finance:
    Working capital, overdrafts, or a general funding line, structured around how the business actually earns and spends.

    Business Loans:
    A lump sum for growth, stock, or a big opportunity, with repayments that fit the business’s own cash flow.

  • Personal Finance

  •  

    Personal Loans:
    Funding for the things a home loan won’t cover, matched to what you can comfortably repay, not just what you’re approved for.

    SMSF:
    Borrowing structured correctly inside your self-managed super fund, so the loan doesn’t put the fund’s compliance at risk.

  • Property Finance

  •  

    First Home Buyer:
    Someone in your corner from pre-approval to settlement, explaining every step in plain English so nothing catches you out.

    Home & Investment Loans:
    The right loan structure for the property you’re buying, whether it’s where you’ll live or where you’ll build equity.

    Home Loan Refinancing:
    A second look at your current loan to check you’re not paying more than you need to, with no obligation to switch.

  • Vehicle & Equipment Finance

  •  

    From a work ute to heavy machinery, we structure vehicle and equipment finance that gets you moving without draining the cash flow the business needs day to day.

  • Other Financial Services

  •  

    If a finance need doesn’t fit a standard category, we’ll still find a way to structure it properly, not just find a way to say yes.

Local To Watermans Bay

Watermans Bay [external link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermans_Bay,_Western_Australia] sits on the Indian Ocean about 18 kilometres northwest of the Perth CBD, between Carine and North Beach, within the City of Stirling [external link: https://www.stirling.wa.gov.au/city-and-council/your-local-suburb/watermans-bay]. Alfred Waterman built the first house here in 1908, the area was subdivided as the Mt Flora Estate in 1918, and nearly all of today’s housing was built and settled by 1961. Around 1,369 people live across roughly 630 dwellings (2021 census), with a median age around 49, among the oldest in Perth’s northern suburbs.

Star Swamp Bushland Reserve covers more than half the suburb, the Mount Flora Regional Museum occupies a converted 1936 water tower, and the WA Marine Research Laboratories sit on the beachfront. It’s one of the smallest suburbs in the area, with no schools of its own, bordering Marmion and North Beach primary schools instead.

With that mix of long-held homes, an older resident base and a tightly held stretch of coastline, the finance conversations we have most in Watermans Bay tend to be about refinancing an established home, downsizing into a smaller beachside property, or structuring finance for an investment property in a suburb where listings rarely come up.

What Our Customers Think:

Nick helped us every step of the way, finding us the best deal for our situation and walking us through the steps, offering guidance when required. The customer service was excellent and we have come out the other side much better off than prior to refinancing. Would highly recommend him if you want a quality, tailored solution for your home loan from someone with your interests genuinely at heart!

Highly recommend Chris as an excellent broker and Vicki for the final stages of the settlement. They were able to sort out a complicated refinance for me and Chris kept in constant contact with me over the process which took a while.

I cannot recommend enough the help and service. We have no idea of the processes involved and Kurtis has been more than willing to spare valuable time in guiding us.

This is the second time Whiteroom Finance helped us in securing finance. Karl Baker was a great help both times. He is easy to communicate to, explains in simple English and is very proactive. It was a joy to have someone like Karl to help.

Whiteroom Finance have been fantastic in helping my partner and I get our first home loan, and then our second, and they have also been a great help in refinancing these loans. They are professional and quick to respond to all of our emails (even after hours and on weekends). They listened to us and made sure to find suitable lenders that offered the home loan structures that we wanted. An enthusiastic 5 stars for these guys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does It Cost Anything To Use A Broker?

In most cases, no. We’re paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles, not by you. If a situation ever calls for a fee, we’ll tell you upfront before any work starts.

How Is A Broker Different From Going Straight To My Bank?

A bank can only sell you its own products. We compare more than 50 lenders, banks, specialist lenders and non-banks, and recommend whichever one actually fits your situation.

How Long Does The Process Take?

It depends on the loan and the lender, but most straightforward applications settle within a few weeks of your paperwork being complete. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe once we know your situation.

Do I Need To Come Into An Office?

No. Our Perth team runs meetings online, so you can go through the whole process without leaving home or taking time off work.

What If I've Been Knocked Back By A Bank Before?

That’s one of the most common reasons people come to us. A knockback from one lender doesn’t mean every lender will say no, it usually means that particular lender wasn’t the right fit.
