Mortgage Broker Launceston
Launceston is Tasmania's second city and one of Australia's most liveable regional markets - and our Cameron Street office puts Derwent Finance right in the heart of it. We finance homes from East Launceston and Trevallyn to the growth suburbs of Legana, Prospect Vale and Riverside.
Northern Tasmania has its own rhythm: heritage weatherboards and Federation homes that some valuers treat cautiously, strong owner-occupier demand from mainland relocators, and a healthy rental market that keeps investors interested. Knowing which lenders assess Launceston property fairly - and which ones understand rural-residential blocks on the outskirts - saves clients real money.
Tasmanian first home buyers benefit from state duty concessions and new-build grants that stack with Federal guarantee schemes. We map every entitlement in your strategy session so nothing is left on the table.

What People Say
Testimonials
When it came time to find the home loan that was ideal for my first house, we collaborated directly with Emmanuel. Always making it a point to ensure that we were happy, he went out of his way to make sure that we had all we need, including making regular checks in to ensure that any questions or concerns that we had been resolved. Derwent Finance has earned our highest commendation, without a doubt!
Marguerite James
Emmanuel is the definition of a seasoned expert. I was approved in no time, and the process moved at a fast pace. It doesn't matter what time of day it is; if I have a question for him, I can generally count on him to answer it immediately. He's also incredibly easy to get along with. Working with Derwent Finance mortgage advisor team was a highlight of my time, and I highly recommend them.
Dorothy Graham
The team at Derwent Finance have been excellent at every step of our home buying journey - from pre-purchase, to settlement and to checking in afterwards. They made it both an enjoyable and easy journey - no question was too much trouble, communication is exceptional & there is always someone available to speak with you. I would recommend them to any prospective clients with no hesitation.
Jamie
Super knowledgeable and helpful staff. They are busy but always made time for us. We had a number of close calls without the settlement of our first property but the team at Derwent Finance were always quick and prompt to resolve issues as they came up. Highly recommend.
Tony Bose
We're both self-employed and had been told no twice by our own bank. Derwent Finance looked at our actual figures, found a lender that accepted one year of financials and we were approved on our first home within three weeks. They explained every step in plain English.
