Our family just had our 4th loan arranged by Uno. Three were not straightforward loans at all being in our superannuation fund (knocked back by another broker) and the 4th was for a recent arrival to Australia with no work history here & self employed. Mike Parsons worked miracles. He didn't take no for an answer, thought outside the box and… Read more
his wisdom, multiple lender options, & sheer hard work & tenancity paid off for us. Nothing was too much trouble. We will be forever grateful! Thanks Mike!!
Website is awful – No way to delete an account. Unable to edit details. The dashboard review links off to a broken 404 page. Interestingly, most of the reviews on here are by accounts who've only done 1 review....nothing suspicious about that right?

Good service and always available to help – The overall process took around 6 months from when I first contacted Uno Home loans to when my settlement finally happened. During this time I dealt with Paul, Crystal, Tiffany, Tim and Veronica who were all helpful and available when I needed to ask questions, and kept in contact with me when I needed to provide more information etc. Although my… Read more
contact point did change a couple of times, they did hand me over to the next person who was taking over, and the service was consistent with all staff. Given I was refinancing a rather small investment property loan (in one name only) while renting with my partner, I found the process with financials was quite difficult, and felt like I was jumping through hoops and providing clarification on every little thing many times over. The documents provided to me by Uno at the beginning (to enter my income and expense information) were completed accurately, but I was questioned a number of times about the figures. Given my expenses were shared with my partner (which I thought would be common enough) this seemed to make things more difficult than I thought they should be. Perhaps these Uno documents can be updated to accomodate these sort of situations, so applicants know exactly how they should declare this information for their situation. I found a specific loan with a specific lender (which I could have obtained directly through them) but went via Uno due to a velocity points offer they had advertised. Im not sure if the hoops I jumped through were due to updated government regulation for lending, the specific lender requirements or problems with Uno not understanding my situation, but it did feel much more painful than the 4 times I had obtained a home loan in the past. Overall, the staff from Uno who assisted me were friendly and helpful and I was happy with their service. Although the process did appear more difficult than previous experiences with loan financing, I wont be negatively judging Uno, since there were many factors involved, and I would be happy to contact them again to discuss future refinancing (especially if there are things such as velocity points on offer). Thanks team
Non resident Australian refinancing – Satisfied with the service and the level of communication throughout the process. As a non resident Australian, Uno was a good partner for me as I sought to refinance my home loan. Kash did a great job researching the market for me and eventually finding a product which saves me a few hundred dollars each month. He then hand over to Crystal, who… Read more
did an excellent job of helping me through the documentation process (frequent updates and friendly emails) and we finally settled the transaction some six or seven month after starting.
As a note to non resident refinancing applicants, please note that the required documents are onerous to gather (what I see as an invasive level of information seeking in the name of diligence) - I ended up needing to withdraw my application and resume the process when I had more time to collect everything. But the team was supportive through my slow plod to the finish line.
Based on my experience, I would recommend Uno to other non resident citizens seeking re-financing options.
Jason Jehan (Uno, refinancing home loan) is a stand-out star - hope he gets my biz! – Shopping around banks/brokers to refinance my home loan - Jason Jehan (Uno broker) continues to be the most reliable, patient, persistent (in a good way, called back when he said he would or I'd ask him for more time or a reminder) and is the only broker so far who volunteered to negotiate a better rate with my current bank on my behalf - knowing… Read more
if he did a good job (which he did), the only gain for him is potential future goodwill (which might equate to me calling him if I consider refinancing again). Well, here I am - giving him a glowing review and want to say a big thank you, too. I'm still weighing up my options, but the more I have - the more comfortable I'm feeling going with a broker like Jason who I know is working for my best interests always - plus Uno's policy to keep customers informed re any new red hot deals every month (or whatever interval that suits you) is GOLD - as opposed to my current bank who might have called me less than 5 times in 15 years. Go Uno - and JJ, it's not over yet - I still want you as my broker!

Negative reviews
Uno Home Loan – I spent 2 months back & forth with Uno home trying to get finance to buy a property. In the final stages of our application we were told no bank would lend the amount needed for purchase because I have received JobKeeper payments 9 months prior (I have not received JobKeeper payments since October 2020). I subsequently went with an alternative broker & was approved for our full purchase amount within 5 days.
Never called at arranged time and don’t reply to emails – I had booked in a time with a broker, I waited for the call, I’m still waiting 2 days later. I sent an email asking why the appointment was missed and no reply.
Hi KT, Thank you for providing your feedback and… Read more
AI would be more useful then their brokers – After the initial application and phone call all my consultation was done via email. The entire process to get a pre-approval took a whole month, with me having to talk to 3 seperate specialists. Along the way this meant having to resend things I had sent previously, this, along with the inability for the broker to properly advise me on what the… Read more
bank required meant that I had to drip feed various documents to satisfy requirements.
Upon finally receiving pre-approval I found a clause from the bank which goes against a query I had earlier; suggesting the query was ignored.
All in all, it would be much easier if the entire process was a chatbot of some kind as I don't think the brokers had any real experience to help streamline, add value and expedite the process; all they did was process documents.

help and support I received from Steven and the Uno team purchasing my property. I cannot recommend Steven and the Uno team highly enough and have already started telling everyone I know about the excellent customer service I received at Uno! A big thanks to Steven and Veronica!
Exemplary – Great - could not fault attention to detail and level of communication. If there was a problem it was only to do with the ridiculous protocols of the lending authority, and in particular, utterly and ambiguous and pathetically constructed forms that confused everyone involved in the process.

Excellent service – The customer service we received from Steven and Veronica was excellent. The communication throughout the whole process was unbelievable. They really helped us out and walked us through the process. Show details
The best mortgage brokers! – Uno saw us through a long and tricky journey to get our first home. At no fault of Uno's, our plan to build did not come to fruition but they stuck with us and helped make our dreams come true with buying a pre-established home instead. I highly recommend Uno as trusted brokers that will do everything they can to make the process of dealing with banks as easy as it can be! Show details
Fantastic Service and Great Result – Having had some bad experiences with mortgage brokers in the past I was initially skeptical that this experience would be any different. However, Tim was warm and friendly, honest, knowledgable, intelligent and to the point. He and his team displayed excellent follow up and I got the sense they have a genuine passion for getting these deals done.… Read more
We obtained an approval in a very short time and are now in the process of shopping for our new home. A big thanks to Veronica also who assisted with the process. Amazing team, great service, excellent result. I'd highly recommend Tim and Uno to anyone seeking a finance approval.
Professional & extremely helpful – Tim is great! Thorough with details, extremely helpful when you have questions & quick to respond! Tim is also very friendly & professional which so great when this can be quite stressful. Vee is also very helpful chasing up documentation & no question was too big or small. I would highly recommend Tim & the team. Show details
Responsive and on the ball – The process took a couple months as we had a lot of rookie questions at the start but once we made a decision on the refined options presented to us it was a well oiled machine - thanks for Veronica for being in the drivers seat the whole time and chasing things up for us so it was a smooth experience! Show details
Great Service – The whole process took a few months to finish, but most of the issues were with the lenders being slow to respond. Tim and Veronica were very helpful and constantly chased up lenders to get things moving. Show details
Great service - Recommended – This was the 2nd time we have used uno home loans to secure a mortgage. Both times they have made the process as painless as possible. Both Tim & Veronica were always happy to answer all our questions no matter how trivial. Highly recommended. Thanks guys! Show details
Awesome service start to finish – We were extremely happy with the product we recieved through Uno home loans.

The regular communication Vee… Read more
