FAQ's on Home Loans
                                     
 
Q: How much can I borrow?

Because different lenders have different criteria for borrowing capacity there is no standard  formula. By filling out our inquiry  form and submitting it we can manually work with you to find the lender that meets your loan requirements.  We will consider income from a variety of sources including Salary, Self Employed Earnings, Dividends, Rental Income and any other source of regular and recurring income.


Q: What is LVR?

LVR stands for Loan to Value Ratio. It is the ratio of the Loan Amount to the Purchase price or Valuation Price. For example, if your new property has been valued at $100,000 and you are borrowing $75,000 then the LVR is 75,000/100,000 which is 75%. 


Q: How do I prove my Income?

We will require your last two years group certificates or Tax returns (not assessment notices). Two  recent copies of your payslip or a letter from your employer in order to prove your income. If you are Self Employed, we will require other proof of income such as Tax Returns or Audited Accounts for Company or Partnership. If you do not have supporting financial information we may still be able to assist.


Q: What other documentation do I require?

 
  • Identification (current copy of Passport or Birth Certificate plus Licence)
  • Funds to Complete (Copy of Bank Statements, Shares or Gift Certificate)
  • Genuine Savings (Loans above 80% LVR require evidence of savings 5% of purchase price - except for Gift Deposit Home Loan).
  • Front Page of Contract (for new purchase)
  • 12 months of loan statements (for refinancing)
  • Council or Water Rate notice (for existing properties shown in assets)
  • Rent appraisal letter (from real estate agent or rent statement-for investment properties used as income in loan servicing calculations)
