Process

What happens next

  1. 1
    Assess your position

    We review your income, deposit, debts, and property goals to understand where you stand.

    Compare lenders

    We check 30+ lenders for rate, fees, features, and policy fit with your situation.

  3. 3
    Get pre-approval

    We submit your application and negotiate with lenders on your behalf.

  4. 4
    Settlement

    We coordinate with the lender, your solicitor, and the seller until keys are in your hand.

Prepare once. Make a more informed choice.

What to have ready

  • Last 2 payslips (or tax returns and BAS if self-employed)
  • Last 3 months bank statements showing savings and spending
  • Passport or driver's licence for ID
  • Contract of sale or property details if you've found something
  • Details of any existing debts such as credit cards or personal loans

Requirements vary by lender. Please use the enquiry form for contact details only; your broker can explain how to provide documents securely.

What to watch out for

  • Choosing based on interest rate alone without considering fees and features
  • Not disclosing existing debts upfront - lenders will find out anyway
  • Applying before your deposit is genuinely saved and documented
  • Skipping pre-approval and losing out at auction or private treaty

Questions about home loans

How much deposit do I need?

Most lenders want 20% to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance, but many accept deposits as low as 5%. Some first-home buyer schemes can help bridge the gap.

Should I get a fixed or variable rate?

It depends on your priorities. Fixed gives you certainty for a set period. Variable gives you flexibility to make extra repayments and switch lenders more easily. We can also split the loan so you get both.

I'm self-employed - can I still get a home loan?

Absolutely. We work with lenders who assess self-employed income using tax returns, BAS statements, and accountant declarations rather than standard payslips.

What if the bank already declined my home loan?

Do not apply again blindly. We review the decline reason, income evidence, debts, credit conduct, deposit source, bank statements, and lender policy fit before deciding whether another lender is realistic.

How long does the process take?

From initial enquiry to settlement, typically 4-8 weeks depending on your situation and the property. Pre-approval itself can happen within a few days.
