Mortgage Payment Bridge: Loan Restructuring & Rate-Lock Service

A licensed mortgage broking and restructuring service that negotiates with lenders on behalf of homeowners to refinance, extend loan terms, or lock in temporary rate caps—without forcing a sale. The service works with major Australian banks and non-bank lenders to unlock payment relief within 4–8 weeks, capturing a portion of the monthly savings as ongoing revenue.

SERVICE

48 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Homeowners keep their homes and avoid forced sales that destroy equity. Unlike refinancing alone (which often fails due to serviceability tests), this service bundles restructuring + lender negotiation + sometimes equity release or rate-lock products that banks now offer quietly. Beats DIY because brokers have direct lender relationships and can unlock non-standard solutions (e.g., interest-only periods, payment holidays, rate-cap products) that retail customers can't access.

Target Audience

Australian homeowners aged 35–65 with mortgages >$300k, currently 60–90 days behind or facing imminent affordability crisis; household income $80k–$180k

Key Features

  • Automated affordability assessment tool (income, expenses, loan details) that flags restructuring options before broker involvement
  • Direct lender relationship layer: pre-negotiated restructuring pathways with Big 4 + 20+ regional/non-bank lenders
  • Rate-lock brokering: negotiate 12–24 month fixed-rate caps or interest-only periods to bridge the affordability gap
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Open banking APIs (Plaid or Basiq) for income verification Typeform or custom intake web form Secure cloud storage (AWS S3 + encryption) for client files CRM (Pipedrive or HubSpot) for broker pipeline management

Original Problem

Australian homeowners unable to afford mortgage payments due to stricter lending policies and rising interest rates

Australian homeowners are facing severe financial distress as stricter government housing approval policies combined with rising mortgage rates have made monthly payments unaffordable. Many are forced to sell their homes at unfavorable prices just to avoid defaulting on loans, yet current financial solutions don't address the core issue of payment affordability gaps. This creates a desperate situation where people lose equity and housing stability simultaneously.
