Buying your first home should be exciting. Here we’ve cut the jargon and simply explain what you can expect at each stage of your property journey.
Your borrowing power will depend on a number of factors including your income, expenses, credit, and of course your deposit size.
Home loan pre-approval is often the first formal step towards buying a property. It’s free and is an indication of how much you could borrow.
Tell us a bit about yourself, your needs and home loan preferences. We’ll ask about your income, expenses, credit history, employment history and any current loans. You can complete this in your own time. Your application will be securely saved and waiting for you.
You’ll need to provide supporting documentation that helps the lender assess your profile. These include identification, recent payslips, bank statements and any loan statements you might have for existing loans. These are all securely uploaded online, in your own time.
Once we have an accurate view of your financial situation, our smart technology will compare thousands of different home loan options to find a shortlist of the loans that best matches your specific needs.
From here our Home Loan Specialists will do the heavy lifting for you. They liaise with the lender, keep you updated on your loan’s progress, and are available to answer your questions via phone, email or live chat.
Next, your chosen lender will assess your application and your ability to pay back the loan amount. If all goes to plan, they will approve your loan and you can move towards settlement.
