Whether borrowers are purchasing their first home, refinancing, or expanding a property portfolio, Liberty can help.
'Our range of home loan solutions, including low doc and low deposit home loans, could help more people say 'yes' to their property plans,' said Ms. Pantarotto.
Beyond home loans, Liberty's lending options also include personal, car, business, commercial, and SMSF loans.

Major bank's $350 win for mortgage holders amid interest rates forecast: 'Huge relief'
Westpac has added two more interest rate cuts to its Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) forecast following a lower inflation outlook. If the major bank's predictions are correct, mortgage holders could receive hundreds of dollars in monthly repayment relief. Westpac continues to expect two cash rate cuts this year, in August and November, with a further two added early next year, in February and May. This would bring the cash rate down to 2.85 per cent. Westpac chief economist Luci Ellis said the latter of the two rate cuts could be earlier, in December and February, or February and March, if inflation and the labour market turn out weaker in late 2025 than expected. RELATED Major RBA interest rate call set to give homeowners $250 per month win for 2025 Centrelink cash boost coming from July 1 for millions of Aussies Aussie teen's job paying $300 per hour without a uni degree 'That would mean RBA cash rate will bottom out at 2.85 per cent, from a peak of 4.35 per cent, and 3.85 per cent currently. We regard the cash rate at 2.85 per cent as being at the lower end of the 'neutral range',' Ellis said. Three of the Big Four banks expect the RBA will cut the cash rate by 0.25 per cent at its August meeting, leaving rates on hold in July. NAB is the only major bank to predict a back-to-back July interest rate cut, however, Commonwealth Bank has noted it is a 'live' meeting. Canstar calculated that a 0.25 per cent cut would reduce monthly repayments on a $600,000, 25-year mortgage by $90. If Westpac's forecast of four cuts through mid-next year plays out, homeowners would see a total drop of $349 a month. Canstar data insights director Sally Tindall said this would be a 'huge relief' for households under pressure, but cautioned that it was just a forecast, not a given. 'While the timing of the next cut is still up in the air, the prospect of at least one more is, at this stage, likely,' she said. 'The RBA won't hesitate to act in July should global volatility ramp up, but the more likely scenario is that it will sit tight until after the June quarter CPI results, due out at the end of next month. 'Borrowers shouldn't be banking on multiple rate cuts just yet, but they can start preparing by shopping around for a better deal, particularly if, as an owner-occupier, their variable rate starts with a '6'." While markets are expecting an interest rate cut at the RBA's next July meeting, not all economists agree. Ellis said she doesn't think the 'disappointing GDP data' or upcoming data flow would be enough to tip the RBA into cutting next month. 'The May labour force data out next week is likely to show a labour market that still looks tighter than the RBA's view of full employment,' she said. 'And while the May monthly CPI indicator, to be published on 25 June, is likely to be a low one, the steer from April and May suggests that June quarter CPI is likely to be a bit above what the RBA is forecasting.' The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) revealed last week economic activity had grown just 0.2 per cent in the March quarter, down from 0.6 per cent in the December quarter.

Frenzy as Aldi's fan favourite Special Buys week returns: 'Will sell out quickly'
Aldi's very popular 'Best of British' Special Buys range is back, and shoppers are already going wild over the range that was released on Wednesday. Snacks such as prawn cocktail and Worcestershire sauce chips (AKA crisps), and Galaxy Chocolate Blocks are set to fly off the shelves this week. Other pantry staples such as Yorkshire Tea, Worcestershire Sauce, HP sauce, Bistro Gravy, Branston Pickle and more are included in the list of available goodies this week. However, there are a few items that have caused a bit of confusion. Rachel Houraghan, an Aldi shopper who's originally from Ireland, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that other people who might be missing their favourite foods from back home should get in quick! "I think all the popular things will sell out quickly," she tells us. "I went last year and most things were sold out by the time I had gone in the first week." She explains that while some of the items are available at Coles or Woolworths, they are much more expensive, making the Aldi Special Buys great value. RELATED: $10 Aldi product that solves biggest winter issue Aussies face: 'Great purchase' Aldi shopper's secret ingredient to make lazy lasagne: 'Feel dumb I never thought of this' Aldi shopper reveals best item at most awaited Special Buys sale: 'Better than other brands' "I realise there are a lot of British and Irish snacks we can buy in Coles or Woolies, but they are usually crazy expensive so this is a great way to get a fix of treats from home without paying crazy prices," Rachel says. "Also no where ever does prawn cocktail crisps! I love Australia and there is nowhere I'd rather be but it's always nice to have a taste from home." She adds that she's excited to introduce prawn cocktail crisps to her Aussie friends, and also keen to get some Galaxy chocolate bars, but she was least excited by the tea cakes, which she says "were the worst thing" there. As an Irish person, she also tells us, "I wish there was more Irish products as most were British. I would have loved Meanies crisps, Spice Bag seasoning, Chilli Heatwave Doritos!" Thankfully, for anyone wondering, the food all tastes the same as Rachel remembered from back home in Ireland. Many Aldi shoppers shared that they were going to "run" to their local store to get a taste of the British snacks on offer. "I didn't know and went to Aldi last night... I was in heaven," one woman wrote on TikTok. "As I Brit I have never seen cheese and pickle crisps before (but I need them!)," another said. "$50 later and I bought half the shop," a third said, while a fourth added, "My bank is gonna hurt tomorrow." Many others were left confused, however, that the prawn cocktail crisps were Smith's, which is an Aussie brand, instead of Walkers which are British. "What are Smith's? Walkers?" one person questioned. "Smith's crisps are not British!! We have Walkers," another said.
