We are proud to have been at the service of Kiwi families for almost three decades!

Our Story
Founded in the early 1990’s, Mortgage Link was one of the first mortgage adviser groups to be established in New Zealand and played a vital part in the development of the industry. We are 100% New Zealand owned and operated, with over 40 locations across the country all the way from Northland down to Central Otago. As a market leader in financial advice, we are proud to have helped thousands of Kiwis with their home financing needs.

Mortgage Link recently expanded its service offering in 2016 through the establishment of its sister company Insurance Link, which was set up to complement its mortgage products by providing the most comprehensive range of insurance options from the very best insurance providers. Making sure that Kiwis make good, informed decisions about how to protect what matters to them. 

What we offer

Our experience and knowledge will ensure that you are offered the most competitive and appropriate options available from banks and other lending institutions. We have stood the test of time due to the fact that we take the time to understand our client’s financial objectives, so that we are able to create a unique solution specific for their needs. We have always kept in mind our goal of helping Kiwis make smart financial decisions that will save both time and money.

From the first home buyer through to the experienced investor, we look forward to talking through further details with you.

Helen Peti

Mortgage Adviser

As a passionate Mortgage Adviser, I have access to many lending providers, ensuring we find the right solution for your unique needs. Wherever you are on your property journey, I’m here to assist – whether you are a first-time buyer, a current homeowner reviewing your options, looking to refinance and release equity, consolidating debt, or purchasing an investment property. I’m committed to delivering a professional and friendly service with clear communication, keeping you informed at every stage of your lending process. I am very proud to have been a finalist for Administrator of the Year in both 2023 and 2024, and am a part of the team that took out the Silver Award for the Top Mortgage office in New Zealand in 2024 with Link Financial Group. Also to have been an Excellence Awardee for Loan Administrator of the Year in the 2024 New Zealand Mortgage Awards, which recognised my overall outstanding conduct and ability as a loan administrator, was an honour. As a Christchurch local, I am lucky to have so many wonderful cafes and eateries where I can enjoy great coffee and food with family and friends. Outside of work you can find me on the sidelines at my children’s sports games, or in the front row at their drama and singing performances. I like to give back, so am a regular volunteer at my children’s school as a reader/writer during assessment and exam time. Helen Peti 021 881 333 Email Helen Peti
