OUR STORY

Finance and legal services, under one roof

A handful of moments shape a life, and most of us meet them without a map. Too many Australians walk into them on their own, gathering advice in pieces from professionals who never quite talk to each other. Stanford was built to change that. We've brought legal and financial expertise together under one roof, with accounting on the way, so instead of being passed between strangers, you're guided by one team that actually talks to each other.

It's a team that takes its character from our founder, an Army veteran. You can feel it in the straight talk and the hard work, and in more than a billion dollars of settled home loans. We've been there, and we know the terrain. Yet we've stayed small enough to treat every client like family. We do the thinking, lay out your next move in plain English, and stay in your corner for every big moment. Because when it matters most, you'll never have to face it alone.

DEFENCE COMMITMENT

Founded by a veteran.
Still serving.

Defence families are where Stanford began, and they're still at the heart of what we do. From DHOAS and first homes to discharge and what comes next, we know the entitlements, the paperwork and the pace of Defence life, because we've lived it.

Specialist lending has since grown to incorporate all those that serve others; nurses, doctors and paramedics, teachers and tradies, business owners who never quite clock off.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Can't find an answer to your question?
Do you offer both financial and legal services?
Yes, and that's the point. Stanford Group of Companies operates two active divisions: Stanford Financial for mortgage broking and asset finance, and Stanford Legal for family, property, commercial and estate law. Stanford Accounting is in development. Both active divisions work from one office in Springfield Central, Queensland, and share information across disciplines with your written permission, so you brief one team instead of three.
How much does an initial consultation cost?
Nothing. Your first conversation with Stanford Financial or Stanford Legal is free, whether you call, book online or come into the Springfield Central office. You'll get a straight assessment of where you standand what your options are. If a matter proceeds, you'll receive written costs before any work starts, with no surprises later.
How many lenders does Stanford Financial have access to?
More than 60 banks and lenders, including Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, ING, Macquarie and Australian Military Bank. That panel matters because the loan that suits a self-employed tradie is rarely the loan that suits anurse on a fixed roster. Comparing across 60 lenders means you're matched to the right product, not the most convenient one.
Can I get a home loan with a low deposit or average credit score?
Often, yes. Options exist for deposits as low as 5 per cent, and government schemes like the First Home Guarantee can remove lenders mortgage insurance entirely for eligible buyers. Credit issues narrow the field but rarely close it. The honest answer depends on your specific situation, which is exactly what a free first conversation is for.
Do you only work with clients in Brisbane, Ipswich and Springfield?
Those are our home markets and where our office sits, but Stanford Financial works with clients across Queensland including the Gold Coast, and much of the process runs by phone, video and secure digital signing. Legal matters involving Queensland property or Queensland courts can be handled wherever you are in Australia.

Start with a conversation. There's no charge for it.

Whatever the moment is, the first step is the same: tell us where you're up to and we'll tell you honestly what your options are.
