The Home Loan Shop has officially rebranded to the leading mortgage brokerage Squirrel.
If you're a customer of The Home Loan Shop, not much is changing. You'll still be dealing with exactly the same people, and have access to the same local expertise and impartial advice you've always had. We've simply brought together two like-minded businesses as one - and with Squirrel there's an added benefit from the size, technology and expertise of the wider business.
We get to know you, and work with all the main lenders to find the solution that best fits you and your goals.
Not everyone fits inside the bank box. That's where our own unique lending products come in.
Earn higher returns on your savings by investing into Squirrel loans or using our high-interest On-Call Account.Â
Not only do we have access to more banks than other brokers, but we have a community of over 5,000 peer-to-peer lenders for a custom solution if you don't quite fit the bank's box.Â
Pop in to our office for a chat, or do it all online in your pyjamas if you like. You’ll receive personal, impartial advice via phone or email from our team of mortgage brokers and you’ll get a great mortgage rate too.
We’ve got more than 600 five-star Google reviews to show for it.
We’ll also answer those niggly questions, like:
Our advisers are paid the same no matter which lender you end up with, so their only motivation is to make you better off.
It might seem like a minefield of jargon but it doesn’t have to be. We're here to make it easy.
Having the right home loan solution in place will save you thousands.
