Professional indemnity insurance

We have $2 million of PI cover (maximum cover of $1 million per claim). In proven cases, this protects my clients from financial loss due to fraud, gross negligence, gross misrepresentation, etc, (if perpetrated by me).

Adviser Experience

All of the advisers have a wide range of experience, when you meet your adviser, they will go through a personal disclosure document with you to fully explain their professional background to provide assurance they are well equipped to provide you with mortgage advice.

How we’re paid

AML Home Loans is paid a single upfront commission (percentage of the loan facility or insurance premium), an ongoing (trail) commission (percentage of the loan facility or insurance premium), or a mix of both. AML Home Loans may charge a one off fee for work completed for clients which does not attract a broker payment from the lender. This charge, if applied, will be agreed in advance with you before any work is started.
