Loan Partner Mortgages is a Wellington-based mortgage advisory business run by Mick Robinson, its owner and Financial Adviser. Mick brings more than 20 years of banking and finance experience across both consumer and commercial sectors, and positions himself as a strategic partner to clients rather than a one-off transaction broker.
Loan Partner works with first home buyers, property investors, business owners, and commercial investors or developers, offering residential lending, business lending, and commercial and development funding advice, plus loan reviews and refinancing. Clients submit their details once, and Mick compares options across more than 20 lenders to find a suitable deal, drawing on his insider knowledge of banking processes and the traps that can stall loan approvals.
Loan Partner Mortgages is a Registered New Zealand Financial Services Provider and a member of the New Zealand Financial Services Group (NZFSG). Advice is provided independently and free of charge to clients, as Mick is paid by the lender once a loan is secured rather than by the client directly.
Behind Loan Partner Mortgages is one person: Mick Robinson, a Wellington-based mortgage adviser with more than 20 years of banking and finance experience across both consumer and commercial lending. Rather than running a large brokerage, Mick built his own business specifically so he could form direct, lasting relationships with clients — dealing with them face-to-face, from the first conversation through to long after settlement.
Loan Partner's client base spans first home buyers navigating their first mortgage, property investors buying rentals, business owners seeking finance, and commercial investors or developers funding larger projects. Mick describes his approach as consistent across all of these groups: build a strong understanding of a client's goals, then partner with them toward their short-, medium- and long-term plans, rather than treat each loan as a single transaction.
Loan Partner's process runs in five steps. It starts with a quick chat to understand a client's goals — whether that's a first home, a refinance, or an investment — followed by a single application that Mick then takes to more than 20 lenders, comparing options across the market rather than requiring the client to shop around themselves. Along the way, Mick applies his insider knowledge of banking and finance to navigate the traps that commonly stall loan approvals and find the shortcuts that speed them up. Advice is independent and free to the client, since Mick is paid by the lender once a loan is secured — not tied to any single bank. The relationship doesn't end at approval either; ongoing support is part of the offering, with the stated goal of a long-term relationship built on clear, honest guidance.
Mick is explicit that he isn't transaction-focused. His approach centres on honesty, integrity and tailored, accurate advice following industry best practice. On top of a strong residential lending background, he also brings solid commercial banking experience, allowing him to assist business owners and those completing commercial investments or developments — a combination that's less common among mortgage advisers focused purely on residential home loans.
Loan Partner has a dedicated first home buyers resource covering how to avoid common traps, answers to the most common questions, and a mortgage calculator for working through repayments. Mick notes he's helped hundreds of Kiwis get their first home purchase right, and offers to walk new buyers through what banks will actually lend and what repayments look like in around 15 minutes.
