Our Story

Mortgage Lab was founded by Rupert Gough, who saw first-hand how confusing and stressful the mortgage process could be for everyday Kiwis. With a background in banking and financial services, Rupert knew there had to be a better way.

Today, Mortgage Lab has grown to become one of New Zealand's leading mortgage advisory firms. With over 30 advisers nationwide, we help thousands of Kiwis every year achieve their property goals.

Our advisers help with first-home loans, refinancing, mortgage refixing, construction finance, investment property lending, KiwiSaver advice, and insurance conversations that connect back to the mortgage decisions people are making.

What sets us apart is our commitment to education and transparency. We don't just find you a loan, we help you understand your options so you can make the best decision for your circumstances.

What Our Clients Say

Karen was fantastic to work with again - helped us navigate our mortgages for weeks through a complex separation situation, and worked hard to get an amazing rate locked in. Communication was excellent - we appreciated the frequent updates and follow ups!

And I will strongly recommend her to anyone who are looking for adviser that will help and guide from the very start until its settled. It's really challenging but worth it.

From the moment I posted in the Facebook group - First Home Buyers page, Somesh instantly replied to my post with in half an hour I was already on the phone talking about my current situation. 8 days later I was pre approved which was insane to me given I barely did anything just provided what Somesh needed and he ran with it. Somesh truely looked out for my best interest and kept me updated every step of the way, Somesh will work his butt off trying to get you into your dream home, whether you are a first home buyer or looking for your next investment Somesh is who you can count on and will always be in your corner even when you feel like no else is.
