Brokers with the ASX-listed aggregator can refer clients to a range of legal services.

Australian Finance Group (AFG) has added conveyancing law firm Bond Property Lawyers to its Partner Connect program, expanding the specialist services available to brokers’ clients.

Launched in 2024, Partner Connect is AFG’s in-house referral initiative that gives brokers’ customers access to specialist professional services, while helping brokers diversify their income streams.

Following the change, effective immediately, AFG brokers can refer clients to Bond Property Lawyers for a range of legal services, including conveyancing, loan and security documentation, contract disputes, and other property-related legal matters.

 
 

AFG said the partnership reflected growing demand for technology-driven, compliant, and client-centric property services.

To mark the partnership, Bond Property Lawyers is offering brokers a $100 discount on its services and complimentary contract reviews for a limited time.

AFG’s Partner Connect program is delivered through AFG Suite360, designed to provide brokers with a more integrated experience across key business touchpoints.

The program’s other partners include Broli Finance (asset finance and personal loans), Marketplace Finance (commercial finance), and AIA Financial Wellbeing (life and health insurance products and financial advice).

AFG head of sales and distribution, Them Lam, said the partnership with Bond Property Lawyers would help brokers deliver a better level of service to customers.

“This collaboration embodies the true intent of our Partner Connect program – empowering brokers and their customers by partnering with industry-leading providers.”

AFG growth manager, Partner Connect, Ross McDougall, added: “Every property transaction requires high-quality conveyancing and legal advice, and we’re excited to offer direct access to a trusted provider. This move will help brokers strengthen relationships and build long-term customer loyalty.”

Bond Property Lawyers co-founder Bill Nikolouzakis said: “We look forward to helping solve a common problem faced by mortgage brokers – the blind spot between contract and settlement.”

The announcement from AFG comes as brokers aggregating under the company set a new lodgement volume record in its latest quarter, with $30.6 billion lodged in the three months to September 2025, a 26.5 per cent year-on-year jump.
