Westlink Finance has access to a substantial range of lenders, as do most mortgage brokers, but also a range of non-bank lenders that are able to offer products that the banks do not have. An example of this is the Lo-Doc mortgage which is a straight asset lend, and does not rely upon the provision of financial information.
