It began with one man with a vision…
The Mortgage Lab story began in 2016 as Rupert Gough was commuting between Wellington and Auckland.
As Rupert travelled between the cities and spoke to local mortgage brokers, he realised they almost all had the same issue.
The problem with banks
Banks must continually alter the type of risk they are happy to accept. This means that one week a client will be approved for a mortgage, the next week the same application could be declined. It is a constant struggle for small mortgage broker companies to keep up with this flood of information.
Mortgage Lab is born
So, in early 2017, on his honeymoon and off the coast of Cuba, Rupert decided that there had to be a better way. A way that a group of mortgage brokers could make use of the latest in technology and communications to easily keep up to date with the latest policies. A way that would mean mortgage brokers wouldn’t work alone in their silo but together so that clients could end up in the best financial position possible.
On 1st March 2017, the Mortgage Lab opened in Takapuna, Auckland and in just a few short years has grown to a nationwide company. Inspired by the blue and yellow of Auckland and Wellington, Mortgage Lab represents a friendly place for clients to come and purchase property or improve their current mortgage situations. Brokers can easily access the latest information on our in-house communications channels and can workshop a client’s deal with anyone else in the company.

Can you get KiwiSaver help?
When you are buying your first home, one of the first things to confirm is whether you have access to KiwiSaver and/or the First Home Grant. We have a range of articles spelling out everything you need to know about these options. The use of your KiwiSaver increases your deposit, which can make borrowing significantly easier and cheaper.
Don’t forget: for all questions, you can always contact your local mortgage broker directly. It only takes 2 minutes to call the adviser and you will have an answer immediately.

Brett is excellent, we’ve worked with him for over 3 years now. From his initial consultation for a simple (ish) mortgage to our recently sorted construction loan Brett works hard to make sure the job is done. We would recommend his as your finance partner!

Lynne was great to work with as a broker.

In what have been challenging times she worked really hard for us and was most interested getting the right outcome rather than the quickest solution.

Lynne was ready, willing and able to get my finance sorted however s…

Lynne is great, she showed me how to manage my finances more effectively and how this affected my application with the bank and went above and beyond to get my loan through for me!

Amazing every step of the way, no question was too hard and kept us up to date with how everything was going.

Kyn is an excellent mortgage broker, he made my first home purchase a breeze. Despite the strict lending criteria (LVR etc.) on low square metre Auckland CBD apartments, Kyn worked really hard to find a finance solution that would work. Would recommend him as a broker and adviser to all. Cheers Kyn.
