Some needs for a commercial mortgage can also be time sensitive, therefore we work with you efficiently to gain loan approval or feedback quickly and meet all achievable deadlines. We also work to source the most practical interest and capital repayments that work in with your financial situation.

Since 2008, the Australian Commonwealth Government has decided to regulate the credit code across the entire country, as there have been varying degrees of regulation and licensing from State to State. This means from 1 July 2010, all companies and individuals who deals with credit and lending, will be required to hold a Credit License that is recognise Australia wide. The license will be regulated by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, the highest level of regulatory body in Australia. This means there is better protection and a higher quality of professional service for you.

All MST Active Finance Professionals will have this license, and their credit license number will be freely available for inspection on our website. It is important that no matter which Finance Professional you see, whether they are a Financial Planner or Mortgage Broker, when they deal with credit then do ask them for a credit license number, and verify that number on the ASIC website.
