Nevil Chand, licensed mortgage adviser at Evolve Group

Nevil Chand

Founder & Licensed Mortgage Adviser

Nevil is the founder of Evolve Group Limited. His style — confirmed in client testimonials on evolving.co.nz — is to take the time to understand each borrower's specific situation and explain the finer details in plain language. He set Evolve up to "flip the model and give back" — a portion of each settled loan goes to a client-nominated charity. Nev works with first-home buyers, refinancers, investors and self-employed borrowers across the big-5 banks and the non-bank panel.

What our advisers do

  • Assess your borrowing capacity against each lender's servicing test.
  • Compare carded specials against negotiated rates and cashback offers.
  • Structure fixed/floating splits to match your rate-fixing preference.
  • Navigate Kāinga Ora First Home Grant + First Home Loan + KiwiSaver withdrawal eligibility.
  • Handle the application end-to-end with the lender on your behalf.

What our advisers don't do

  • Charge you fees. The lender pays us on settlement (see how we are paid).
  • Provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. We refer you to specialists.
  • Recommend property investment strategies. We arrange the lending, not the deal.
