My partner and I engaged Property Planning Australia after being told about the benefits of property planning more generally. We’ve been incredibly happy with their service up to this point. They’re informed, responsive, thorough, and consistently professional. We’re on the start of our property journey and, frankly, find it incredible that more people don’t engage firms like Property Planning Australia given the costs of purchasing in Australia—and the costs of overlooking seemingly ‘minor’ details when deciding what to purchase, where to purchase, and when to sell, etc. They’ve been an invaluable partner to us as we navigate Sydney’s crazy housing market and couldn’t recommend them more.

Dave & the team at Property Planning helped me into my first house in Malvern East almost 15 years ago & have done it again in 2020. The experience was excellent with regular communication all the way through. Now, almost 3 months after settlement we are still getting follow ups ensuring that everything is as expected. 5 stars & strongly recommend PPA as a friendly & professional broker for anybody looking to buy!

Philip

Malvern East VIC

I’ve been using the mortgage brokers at Property Planning Australia for almost 10 years (refinancing and mortgage for new investment properties). I’m now searching for a home hence, needed help with using equity from my existing properties and a new loan. Andrew Edmonds has been awesome in providing me with the best options for my situation and getting the equity for my deposit loan approved + a better home loan rate :-). I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it on my own.

A special thank you to Michael Hulston, Richard White and their teams who made what can be a stressful process very straightforward . We hope to continue to work with the team as we look to expand on our property investments in the years to come .

The journey from feeling like purchasing a property to actually hitting the finish line and seeing through the settlement is not an easy one – PPA has made, at least, the mortgage part easy for me. Tailored services and care, and factual advice based on my financial circumstances is what I have received from them over and over. I will keep utilising their services to build my portfolio and wealth. Good luck to y’all as well 🙂

Michelle

Thornbury VIC

We have been working with Property Planning Australia since 2005, when we purchased our home with the help of David Johnston. Since then, David and his team at Property Planning Australia have guided us through many property decisions with their Property Planning and Strategic Mortgage Broking services. Most recently we have worked with Ryan Bain and other team members to get us into our new home! Over the years, we have received great support from Property Planning Australia, where they have proactively renegotiated our interest rates and helped us with fixing a portion of our loan. Highly recommend their services!

Miranda

Luke

Beeliar WA

We found out about Property Planning Australia through the Property Planner, Buyer and Professor podcast. As investors, we were particularly interested in mortgage strategy, so that we could continue to expand our portfolio. The advice from our Strategic Mortgage Broker was second to none and the service from the team was excellent throughout a complex refinance. Thanks team PPA!

Renee

Jingellic NSW

Property Planning Australia were excellent; they were so supportive and understanding, answered all questions and we were so glad to have them in our corner during such a stressful time as we bought our first home.
A really great team. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs a strategic mortgage broker.

Alice

Forest Hill VIC

We have worked with David and the team at PPA since 2012. They facilitated with our lender to help us through the purchase of an investment property. During the life of the mortgage they regularly reviewed the interest rate and sought to improve the rate where possible. Recently, they facilitated winding up our mortgage.

I’ve been receiving excellent support and advice from the Property Planning team since the day they first opened their doors. Will be happy to keep using their services up until I retire and cash in my investments – however long that might be!

Andrea

I highly recommend Property Planning Australia, fantastic service and exceptional staff.

Michelle

Springvale VIC

A very informative service, explained in a simplistic and friendly way. Could not fault these guys, a great and invaluable experience all round. I understand a lot more than I would have without them.

Ben

Marshall VIC

This is the second time I’ve used Property Planning Australia, and both times it has been a positive experience. Chris explains the process clearly and is always available to answer questions. The team are all exceedingly helpful – I highly recommend their services

Suzanne

Altona VIC

Andy was brilliant!! Level of service was first class. Took the time to explain details thoroughly which provided confidence in deciding how I move forward to suit my needs. I highly recommend Andy.

Mathew

Boronia VIC

As someone who had no idea what I was doing, Richard talked over things several times ensuring I was making decisions based on understanding. I never felt pressured and was guided through the process at my pace. Excellent service. Really glad I made the leap.

Caroline

Spotswood VIC

I could not be more grateful for the Property Planning Australia team who helped with the entire property buying process, from Anne-Marie dealing with all my queries and providing me recommendations to trusted third parties, to Micheal Hulston for my property planning strategies and asset selection tips, to Ryan, Nirakar and Shahil for my strategic home loan structure. The entire team has gone above and beyond, spending many meetings and conversations with me to help me better understand the process, my financial situation and the best solutions for me. They were all patient, as well as encouraging, making me feel like I could come to them anytime. They provided timely reminders to keep the ball rolling, while not following me up too much, to make me feel stressed or overwhelmed with such a big decision. The property planning sessions were also tailored to my needs, where I was able to get the most out of the property planning platform, as well as go through some property planning selections to narrow down good qualities for an A-Grade property selection.
I have listened to many various podcasts including the Property Trio (also known as the Property Planner, Buyer and Professor). The podcast was a wealth of knowledge, but it doesn’t compare to the feeling of getting advice specifically tailored to you by a professional. If you are an overthinker or first home buyer like me, I would definitely recommend going through them as well as listening to the Property Trio podcast. Thanks so much for your help!

Gwenda

Thomastown VIC

Property planning Australia helped us get our first mortgage for our new family home. The whole process right from the start to the very end was incredible. Everyone who we dealt with were always so helpful and were able to answer any questions we had, they always kept us up to date with what was happening. Even after we had purchased & settled on our home they contacted us to make sure everything was going well with the home. I would highly recommended Property planning Australia to everyone. 10/10 experience.

Jesse

Southport QLD

I heard about Property Planning Australia through the podcast and based on how good it sounded I thought it must be expensive. I can say now that it is not. I made the mistake of first getting a plan through Empower Wealth which turned out to be so costly and rubbish that I disregsarded it and sought the help of PPA.
At PPA I was put in touch with Michael. Michael was great, his best feature being that he simplified the future for us and customised it to out circumstances and ideals. Michael was then able to tell us what to buy, when and for how much. I also loved the scenario playing which gave us three different options for the future. As life is not linear, this was exactly what we wanted. In summary, don’t hesitate and get in contact, you won’t regret it.

Andrew

Semaphore SA

David Johnston and the Property Planning Australia team have been fantastic. They have helped us with our longer term property planning and helped us developed an informed strategy for our next property decision. Plus they made our home loan application simple and easy.

Their ongoing service and support we received was another added extra and they offer more than a traditional Mortgage Broker would. I would highly recommend using their services.

Charlie

O'Connor ACT

The whole process from my first contact, to receiving the completed plans this week has been fantastic and I feel much more confident in my decisions now. You have both helped me increase my knowledge and view of property investment to levels I never would have thought possible six months ago! So again thank you!

Andrew

Hawthorn VIC

I have arranged a number of Mortgages through Ryan Bain and his Team at Property Planning Australia.
The team communication is excellent in keeping you informed throughout the process which would be arduous without assistance.
I would highly recommend Ryan and the team at Property Planning Australia if considering a new Mortgage or looking to refinance!

Steve

Hamilton QLD

David Johnston and his team have been an incredible resource and asset to my husband and I. Their guidance and assistance with Property Planning and Mortgage Strategy has been invaluable. As a young couple ready to take the first steps to buying our first home we feel like we couldn’t be in better hands. No question is too big or too small and they’re always willing to have a chat and re-explain things, at no point did I feel embarrassed about ‘not getting it.’ I didn’t know the first thing about property before working with David and his team. Buying my first home is a big step in my life and I’m glad I have David in my corner. Would highly recommend!

Rachel

Flemington VIC

Buying my property is the most important and most expensive investment of my life. I needed my investment strategy and plan to be perfect; therefore, I started searching for the prefect adviser. I talked to more than 50 buyers’ agents and companies across Australia. I believe the property planning Australia is the best company in Australia. This is mainly because their business model is free of conflict of interest (They don’t accept kickbacks, which is very rare in their business). Importantly, they try to empower their clients so they can understand all complexity of property market and decide the best course of actions themselves. Their staff are kind, caring, and supportive. Throughout my journey, I learnt a lot about the property market and how we can make money in this market. I really appreciate Property Australia for this.

Mojtaba

Doncaster VIC

Ryan & the team at Property Planning Australia were extremely helpful during what can be a pretty stressful time buying your first home! He was always available to chat and answer and questions and it made the process so much easier than it could have been! Highly recommend Ryan & the team!

Samantha

Richmond VIC

Highly recommend Property Planning Australia. Ryan and the team understood what we were looking at, helped refine our decisions and came up with a few solutions to maximise our position. Fast and accurate.

Jess

Glandore SA

I have worked with PPA for over 10 years and maintained relationships with the same people the whole way. Its a familiar experience that i trust and would recommend to anyone looking for unbiased expert information. I will continue to be a customer for a long time to come.

Lincoln

Annerly QLD

Our experiences with Property Planning have been overwhelmingly positive.
They guided us from confused prospective purchaser to confident property owners.
We were guided into what type of properties to buy, the best locations to buy, traps to avoid and in depth feedback on individual properties and we ended up with a much better outcome than if we had proceeded alone.
Additionally, the mortgage and banking support was second to none. We didn’t have to navigate the Banks confusing options or worry about large amounts of documentation. The options were clearly outlined to us in terms we could understand and we, once again, are very happy with the outcomes.

Tim

Bentleigh East VIC

Couldn’t be happier with the service from the team. Buying our first home was a huge deal for us, but the genuine care & help from the whole team made us feel so comfortable and really made the whole process a stress free!

James

Doncaster East VIC

We engaged Property Planning Australia to help with purchasing an investment property. We had experienced the cookie cutter service from one of the big banks and felt there must be a better way. We asked our buyer’s advocate to recommend a strategic mortgage broker and we were introduced to Ryan at Property Planning Australia. From the first contact with Ryan we felt that we were getting the personalised service we were hoping for. Our situation was a little tricky but Ryan came back to us with a strategy that worked perfectly. We cannot recommend both Property Planning Australia and in particular Ryan enough. Very professional and thorough. No question was left unanswered. Nothing was too difficult and we always felt Ryan was in our corner facilitating our transaction.

Tony

Wirlinga NSW

The property planning team are all so great and make the experience so hassle and free. Our broker Leah communicated with us through the whole thing, helping to keep it stress free and easy. Definitely recommend them

Cody

Christies Beach SA

Highly recommend, gave us great support in purchasing our first property, from initial advice through to completion. Professional, thorough and always on hand to answer any questions. Thanks so much for making what can be a stressful time a smooth and easy experience.

Frances

East Melbourne VIC

David, Ryan and the Property Planning Australia have been fantastic for us in managing end to end processes for property planning advice and financing. Their can-do attitude and completeness of service can’t be underrated and I recommend anyone to use the PPA services if you want excellent independent advice.

David

Ashfield NSW

The team at property planning australia are fantastic. They helped guide me through the process of getting my first homeloan, and went above and beyond in making sure I had the best homeloan rate and package that suited my needs. I cannot recommend them highly enough

Matt

Ainslie ACT

We reached out to Property Planning Australia as we needed help with deciding whether we purchase a home or investment. After receiving our Property Plan, scenario modelling and advice, it was clear that we wanted to prioritise the home, which we have recently purchased! Thank you PPA, the service has been second to none.

Marco

Carrara QLD

I learned about mortgage strategy and the benefits of property planning through the Property Planner, Buyer and Professor podcast. I reached out to Property Planning Australia as I wanted to purchase a property, but was told I was not able to obtain finance. My strategic mortgage broker went above and beyond in obtaining finance approval for me, my only regret is that I didn’t reach out sooner. With the help of the property team, I’ve been able to get clarity on my future property decisions, strategy and understanding what is achievable. I’ve since purchased and settled on my investment property and I cannot be happier. Thanks team PPA!

Jasmine

Kellyville Ridge NSW

Buying your first home can be pretty stressful, so a massive thanks goes to the team at Property Planning Australia for guiding my wife and I every step of the way! The team were professional, easy to deal with, responsive and best of all they’re experts at what they do, so I had full faith they were working for me to secure me the best home loan deal on the market. Great work PPA, I can’t recommend you highly enough!

Tom

Macleod VIC

Andy Edmonds was super accessible and offered a great support throughout our whole house hunt and purchase. Loads of great advice and tips, he went above and beyond for us and was a great ally during a really tough time to be buying. Will definitely use again, can’t recommend highly enough.

Jesse

Rippleside VIC

Property Planning have been a huge help for us over the last 9 years, guiding us through the purchase of 2 properties, sale of 1 property and 5 successful loan applications over those years. Their advice has been invaluable and no matter who we deal with at PPA they are always professional, efficient and knowledgeable. We love our current home, and we simply wouldn’t have been able to purchase at the price point we did without the loan strategy suggested by PPA. I can’t recommend highly enough.

Cain

Chatswood NSW

Property Planning Australia has been so helpful in organising a loan and dealing with the purchase of my new property.
All members of the team have been extremely prompt replying to any questions I had and ensured everything ran smoothly.
I am very grateful to all involved and would highly recommend them.

Anna

Mount Eliza VIC

Our property plan has been invaluable – it has helped us clearly understand our property goals and provide a road map to get there. We now feel that we have the right strategic financing in place and we have a much better understanding of where we are going. David is a true professional who takes the time to truly understand every aspect of your personal situation and provides excellent advice in a concise manner. We would have no hesitation recommending this service to our friends or family!

Mark and Renee

Glen Waverley VIC

Andrew was amazing! As first home buyers we required a lot of guidance which Andrew provided. He was so prompt with his communication and always took the time to explain everything to us in great detail. I honestly would recommend Property Planning Australia to anyone looking for a Strategic Mortgage Broker.

Maddi

Armadale VIC

The team were amazing in helping us secure a loan right for us, we are first home owner’s. Everything was explained in length and any questions were answer with a no nonsense reply. Communications was great through the whole process. Thank you Ryan and Leah for your efforts!
