Fee Guide

Professional, Clear, Upfront Pricing, Based on Complexity & Strategy

We believe in professional transparency. For some home loans there is no cost to work with us, and where a fee for service does apply, here is exactly when and how much.

How Our Fees Work

How We Are Paid, and When a Fee Applies


Like most mortgage brokers, Lydian Financial Services is generally paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles. Where that commission covers the work involved, there is no fee for our service at all.

A fee for service applies where the work is more complex, or where additional time and specialist expertise are involved. In those cases we are completely transparent about it from the outset.

Any fee that applies to your situation is discussed and agreed with you in writing before any work begins, and is set out in your Credit Proposal. You will never be surprised by a cost you did not know about.

A fee for service may also apply where the recommendation does not facilitate a commission payment from the lender. In that circumstance a time-based fee will apply, and you will be advised in a timely manner.
