MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVALS
Be prepared when the right property comes along.
Buying property can move quickly. Having a clear understanding of your borrowing options before you begin can make the process easier to navigate.
Home loan pre-approval is a lender's conditional indication of how much you may be eligible to borrow, based on an initial assessment of your financial circumstances.
While pre-approval isn't a guarantee of final loan approval, it can help you establish a realistic property budget, understand lender requirements and identify potential finance challenges early.
Our brokers can help you compare suitable lenders, prepare the necessary documentation and navigate the application process.
UNDERSTANDING PRE-APPROVAL
What you need to know before applying.
01. Understanding your borrowing capacity
Your potential borrowing amount depends on factors including income, living expenses, existing liabilities, credit history and lender assessment criteria.
We'll help you understand these considerations and establish realistic borrowing expectations.
02. Preparing your financial documents
Lenders may request identification, payslips, employment information, bank statements, details of existing debts and evidence of savings.
We'll help you understand what documents are required and prepare your application.
03. Choosing a suitable lender
Different lenders have different assessment policies, rates and loan features. Our brokers can help compare suitable options based on your circumstances.
04. Understanding conditional approval
Pre-approval generally comes with conditions and an expiry date. Final approval may depend on the property valuation, contract, updated financial information and the lender's final assessment.
05. Preparing to make an offer
Knowing your borrowing expectations can help you approach property inspections and negotiations more confidently. Your broker can also explain the importance of finance conditions and the risks of making an unconditional offer.
