Home buyers searching for the best deal on home mortgages and people just interested in the property market can now have all the information they need on their iPhone and iPad, thanks to mortgage aggregator Vow Financial.

'My Mortgage Kit' has been developed as a Vow Financial application that includes mortgage calculators and other financial tools for those who want know the best deals in mortgage finance no matter where they are.

The free application, currently ranked in Apple's store as "New and Noteworthy", allows users to calculate stamp duty in all states and territories; how much they can borrow; home loan repayments; budget planner; loan comparisons; and extra payments calculator.

Also included are a moving home checklist; document checklist for applying for a loan; a "jargon buster" dictionary of property terms; steps to buying a home; the latest finance news; and the capacity to email all results from their calculations to their computers.

Vow Financial Marketing Manager Matt Mitchener says the application has been developed for Australian consumers who are interested in buying a home or property.

"It's a great tool for Australians looking to buy their first home, invest or refinance, or for just looking at what else is out there. People working in the mortgage finance industry will also benefit from this innovative tool.

"It will give all brokers, real estate agents, conveyancers, accountants and others in the industry a tool to use while on the road," Mitchener says.

"Once again it shows Vow Financial is at the cutting edge of innovation in this industry."

The application is the first version and Vow is looking at improving and building this application in the future.

Matt Mitchener says that Apple was chosen as the platform because IDC Australia acknowledged it as having a 40% market share of the Smartphone market less than one year ago.

"The Android market is growing and we will look at the market share growth before we unveil plans to release an Android-based version of the application," he adds.
