Proud of ‘Top Adviser’ Award 2023
Jeff Royle has helped people realise their property goals for over 30 years, becoming an authority on the non-bank sector in the UK in the 90s.
Moving to New Zealand in 2006, Jeff set up iLender, immersing himself in the local Non-Bank market, and soon became the ‘go-to’ Adviser for both Clients and other Mortgage Advisers. This continues to this day.
He enjoys putting a lot back into the industry and local community whenever possible. When not being the ‘Financial Paramedic’, Jeff is a Coastguard volunteer with more than 10 years’ service. He also enjoys shooting clay birds, gardening and classic cars. He is married to Heather and shares five kids and three grandkids, who help keep him fully occupied!
Mortgages and Home loans don’t always have to come from a Bank.
We have access to funds from both Banks and non Banks, which means we can help you if you need:
- a Low Deposit mortgage
- a Self Employed mortgage
- a Bad Credit mortgage.
All these can be arranged quickly and simply and are often a ‘means to an end’ in resolving an immediate need. Also it can give you buying time, so that the mortgage you really want (i.e. a Bank mortgage), can be put into place as quickly as possible.
We are members of the FANZ (Financial Advice New Zealand) and governed by the FMA (Financial Markets Authority). We are accredited to Banks and Lending institutions throughout New Zealand, as well as having access to Private funds for those ‘out of the square’ situations.
This ensures that you get quality and professional advice.
Jeff Royle - "The Skipper" - aka Financial Paramedic
Moving to NZ in 2006, Jeff set up iLender, which might not have been the best timing as the world was on the verge of the GFC with lending virtually ceasing.
Driven by his focus on the ‘Why’ – helping people with their property goals, today Jeff is a significant player in the Non Bank market, often consulted by Lenders for advice on product and strategy.
Jeff sees amazing opportunities assisting those who cannot be served by the Banks.
