Lendi
Pros
Very pushy broker, lengthy pre-approval waiting time
I used lendi via the Domain website, a friend has also recommended it to me. Everything seems well at the start, simple setup, quick call back and great rates. But when things got serious, I started to feel that all my assigned broker wants to do is to lure me into the ING, that she doesn't care that my situation has changed and was pushing me to keep using ING.
ING currently has 21-day waiting time for pre-approval, it wasn't a problem for me at the start as I was just browsing through properties, then I found a property that I'm interested ...
Read morein in a shorter timeframe than I originally anticipated. I didn't like the long waiting time as it would be as lengthy as the formal approval process, so I asked for other options for a faster pre-approval, she insisted that if I end up signing conditional CoS, she's able to accelerate the process and get it done in 10 days, I still wasn't convinced, but it was provided to me in a way that ING is my only choice. She pushed so hard to a point I don't feel comfortable and I said I will need more time to consider. Note this is all before the application is submitted and you suppose to still have some freedom to choose what you really want to apply to base on your situation. At the end, I just wasn't comfortable doing this and I need my pre-approval sooner. I called it off by sending her an email requesting to stop the application and cancel the ID check from zipID. She hasn't replied to my email since, and it is hard to get to the zipID line to cancle the appt. But the guy who came to check my ID was very understandable when i said i didn't want to proceed. I end up going to CBA and got my pre-approval within 2 days, it was just uploading all my relevant documents and no waste of time like this.- Transparency

Lendi loan process
The process of going through Lendi did take a while, but it was worth it in the end. Seemed to be quite thorough process in getting all the information together for the bank and hence having the best chance of securing the loan. Rishi Nandi was my broker and was a likable and professional character to deal with.

The first encounter and support from Mike Lam were great. He provided me with the information that I needed to decide to purchase another property. When it came to the home loan decision time, he reduced my overall interest rate for my investment property and got me a good rate on my additional home loan.
The support after the sale could have been better. The communication about the next steps and timing was a bit uncoordinated and could have been better.
Overall I am a happy customer that got the desired outcome

Not professional made mistakes
We were pretty disappointed with Lendi. They made some big mistakes such as saying I was eligible for first home buyer grant when I wasn’t due to my partner having used it before. I didn’t get preapproval in time and missed out on a property although this was ultimately the fault of the bank Lendi promised and didn’t deliver. When I got close to settlement my broker was changed to a young girl who had no idea what was going on and didn’t return phone calls. The settlement date was also delayed due to a combination of faults including wrong add...
Read moreress on paperwork and Lendi not working as diligently as they should have. Long after settlement when we had expressed our frustration we got spam calls from Lendi asking if they could help us.. too late ball dropped! All in all it was a very stressful experience.- Transparency

Long drawn series of mistakes that I was left to fix
Terrible, long drawn out experience. Settlement of my loan was stopped due to issues with a property tile, which I was not told about until I followed it up, wondering why I had heard nothing about settlement for weeks. Broker then resubmitted the loan application using a different property title, but requested a standard product instead of an offset product. Despite me raising this at the time, he told me that it would be easy for me to fix with the bank once the loan had settled. I have since wasted hours of my time fixing his mistake, waitin...

No it did not work !
The agent ([Name Removed]) is nice but the system is so bad:
1) There are so many bugs / errors while uploading the documents to their platform
2) There are so many back and forth steps to finalise the documents. Before I spent only couple hours with a local agent to finish all required documents but with Lendi it takes 3-4 weeks to submit even though my documents are ready
3) Then it takes ages for them to submit the applications to the bank
I gave up with Lendi after 3 months of processing the application.
Never ever again!!!

Comedy of errors but not funny
I've used Lendi twice now and both times there was error after error causing extended delays. I went back the 2nd time because my current lender advised I had to because they referred me the 1st time. From issuing loan documents for the incorrect amount, constantly having to chase updates and being punted around to multiple different staff members it was an absolute joke. The bad service caused weeks of delays to the commencement of my home renovations, inconveniencing my family and my builder. Will not use them again and will not recommend to anyone.

Brendan Reid the team member who assisted us the most was fantastic and tried his best to do everything he could to help us. Ron? At the end was also very friendly and helpful. The only issue we had was too many people helping. There was one other random person that rang just for the sake of ringing. The rang the day after Brendan rang to pretty much tell me everything Brendan had a...

Had a great experience with Julio and the Lendi team. Due to being self employed I had found it difficult to get through all the hoops required for my first home loan. But with Julio's help it made the process a lot easier. Julio was easy to contact, knew what I had to do and seemed to genuinely care about my loan application.

I have used Lendi previously and found them amazing. Using it to get an investment property found them horrible to deal with, documents requested repeatedly, documents not understood or read, had no idea of salary packaging. Told that I needed a quick settlement as there were specific conditions, did not understand contacts and commitments.
Told that it would take 4 days now on day 6 with still no results. Will be looking elsewhere in future.
