What Past Clients Say…

I was a little nervous about refinancing our mortgage, but Lynne made the process straight forward and fought on our behalf to get the best deal and was quick to resolve the issues that came up along the way. Lynne was always available to talk to and answer all our questions.
The Mortgage Lab online portal was user friendly and great for keeping all documents in together and tracking progress.

Lynne Dent

Investment New Build - A & J Lough, Taupo

Lynne was amazingly helpful! Always communicated quickly, clearly, and she was so extremely kind and personable, patient, sensible, I can’t recommend her highly enough. I so appreciated having Lynne at the other end of the emails – such a calming influence through a pretty stressful process.

Lynne Dent

New Home - J Duthie, Christchurch

Lynne was amazing to work with. We were referred to Lynne by another Mortgage Lab team member who was no longer able to look after us and since we were moving to another area they chose Lynne to be the most suitable and she really was 🙂 Not only did Lynne always make the time to answer our questions but she was helpful and supportive and through the whole mortgage process where we would usually feel violated having everything scrutinised so closely, Lynne never made us feel that way. Without her support we would never have made it into our beautiful new home. I am in my forever home now and hope that I don’t have to go through the mortgage process again but if I do its a relief to know Lynne is there to guide us.

Lynne Dent

New Home - M O'Connor, Christchurch

Very much enjoyed working with Lynne, made the process less daunting, without Lynne I don’t believe I would have had the confidence to complete the home purchase as she was able to explain what the bank wanted in everyday English! Very impressed and will definitely be recommending Lynne.

Lynne Dent

First Home Buyer - S Sathiyanathan, Christchurch

We had the most awesome experience, we had been trying to buy a house for the entire 2020 and used a number of mortgage brokers but each asked more and more from us. They wanted us to cancel our KiwiSaver deposits and cancel this and that. We were about to give up when a friend told us about Lynne and we said this will be our last try long story sort or actually not such a long story, we spoke to Lynne did all the paper work had a meeting with her and with in a month and a half we had pre-approval and a month later we moved into our first home. It’s safe to say without Lynne we would not have had a house to call our own today.

Lynne Dent

Lyn is an extremely capable mortgage broker. She has access to all the major lenders. Definitely consider Lyn for getting a mortgage as she has no allegiance to any lender and will sort you the best deal available.

Mortgage Advice - Christchurch

Lynne was great to work with as a broker.

She was clear about what could be achieved and was available to field questions.

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.

We will be working with Lynne in the future and recommending her to friends and family.

Thank you Lynne and Mortgage Lab.

Lynne Dent

New Home - J Reeves, Christchurch

I am a middle-aged single female buying a first property in Christchurch post-COVID lock-down; the most difficult market to not only get finance but actually get a property to put an offer on! My excitement quickly turned to agitation, anxiety and straight out confusion. Lynne was ready, willing and able to get my finance sorted however she was more than this. She handled by ever changing emotions so professionally and I don’t know how, but she kept me on track, motivated and together we got me over the line. I don’t know how many times I apologised for my outbursts but Lynne stayed steady beside me every step.
Thank you for helping me get my home, you know I could not have done this by myself, nga mihi nui.

Lynne Dent

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!

Lynne Dent
