What Is A Budget Planner?

A Budget Planner is a financial tool designed to help individuals manage their income and expenses effectively. It allows users to input various sources of income and categorise their spending, providing a detailed overview of their financial situation.

This overview is crucial in planning and preparing for significant financial commitments, such as property investment, by ensuring that such decisions align with one’s overall financial capacity and goals. A budget planner is invaluable for maintaining financial health and making informed financial decisions.

This budget planner can be a vital tool for anyone planning to buy a house. It helps in organising and understanding your financial status by tracking income and expenses. This clarity is essential for assessing how much you can afford to spend on a house and determining the size of the mortgage you can responsibly take on.

By providing a clear picture of your financial health, a Budget Planner assists in setting realistic goals and ensuring that your home purchase fits within your overall financial

I'm a property investor with 6 properties thanks to this family run brokerage business. I have had nothing but exceptional service from Zep finance. They don't cross-collateralise, work closely with your accountant and are so smooth and easy to work with.Zains team consider well over 100 lenders to come up with the right loan product for investors. These guys do the hard yards and I could not recommend them more.

Zain is absolutely fantastic. He helped us with the refinance of our first home to help us buy our dream large acreage property nearly three years ago. Coming off our fixed loans, Zain is now helping us keep our new variable rates as low as possible. He’s been of tremendous help during the process each time. Highly recommended!

Kylie Harris, my broker was excellent in her approach and assistance. She was clear, concise and made it an effortless, streamlined process unlike other experiences I have personally had refinancing property. I felt trust, care and guidance from her and the team upon every step, delivering a great outcome. I have since produced two more leads for her with long term friends who were equally impressed.

Zain and the team at ZEP Finance are incredibly responsive to any questions and are genuinely customer-focused. They invest the time to get to know their clients and develop long-term relationships with them. It's comforting to know that expert advice and any assistance is only ever a phone call or email away. Over the past 5 years, I've found that they always act in the client's best interest and nothing is ever too difficult for them whether it be assisting with identifying the best lender for your needs, renewing loans or purchasing a home. They just make it happen!

Third⁫ time - Still Amazing ServiceThis was our third time working with ZEP Finance. The whole team supported us through a very difficult process negotiating with our previous lender following the February/March floods. We would have been lost without their support.They then switched gears and sprung into action to get us locked and loaded to buy a new, flood free home.Joel helped us obtain pre-approval with our preferred lender and the whole process from exploring options to pre approval to settlement was seamless and stress free.Zain has built a quality and caring team, whose attention to detail and customer service is hands down second to none.I have always, and will continue to recommend ZEP to anyone looking into finance options.

Highly recommend the entire team at ZEP to anyone needing finance information or services. The results were nothing short of amazing. This experience for me has restored my reservations about loans/finance with their professionalism and knowledge. I understood everything that was explained, was given options and felt so empowered to leave my long term bank.I have since referred family and friends to see them and hope anyone reading this gives them a go. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. THANK YOU ZEP!!!

Second to noneOver many years and many transactions, Zain Peart and his team (Kylie, thank you) have always been great, but this time they went above and beyond. Our situation is complex, the investment property transaction we just executed was complex, and what was even more complex was the timing of the transaction (floods, COVID-19, interest rate increases, maternity leave, personal matters etc). ZEP provided much needed stability in these uncertain times. There is nothing that office cannot do, and it seems the more complex the scenario the more they stand out. I cannot recommend ZEP highly enough, and do to my family, friends and clients 100% of the time.

Amazing service! Zain, Kylie and the team went above and beyond for us. They made the process so easy. They did all the hard part for us, we didn’t even have to lift a finger!

Buying and selling property can be stressful so having someone assist us with our financing towards the selling and buying of a property was very important to us. Zain at ZEP Finance came highly recommended. Both Zain and his team did an incredible, efficient and professional job from start to finish. Zain's knowledge and experience is exceptional which instilled our confidence and trust. The team's communication was outstanding and their timely and prompt attention to detail provided comfort and peace of mind throughout the process. This meant we could focus on other necessities associated with moving house as well as saving us a heap of time. We would highly recommend Zain and ZEP Finance to anyone requiring a mortgage broker.
