How to get a Home Loan
Time Needed: 1 month
The 7 easy steps to getting a home loan
01
Save deposit
A deposit is the absolute pillar of any new home loan so budget and save until you have a healthy deposit.
5% – 20% are the minimum deposits you should work towards however loans 20% and above are more likely to be approved in less time.
02
Compare Lenders
Work with your broker to understand your preferred lenders or let them know you are simply looking for the best deal.
03
Consider your loan preferences
Looking to pay principle and interest so you can pay off your mortgage or are you looking to pay interest only. Preferences may also include discussing an offset facility and / or redraw facility with your broker.
04
Pre-approval
A pre-approval is simply an indication that a lender is likely to approve you for a specific home loan and most buyers get pre-approved before they make an offer on a property.
The main benefit to getting pre-approved is that you’ll know what you can, and can’t afford to buy.
This is particularly helpful when it comes to bidding at auctions.
05
Make an offer
Do your shopping, attend open homes and auctions until you find your ideal property. Then make an offer for your property of choice
06
Pay the deposit and get formally approved
Once you have made your deposit, you will work closely with your broker to get a formal loan approval.
07
Settle your home loan
Sit back and relax until your settlement period is over.
