Loan Process

The steps below outline how the loan process works; from the initial meeting to signing the mortgage documents and then the final settlement.

1 - Initial Stage
We'll meet with you and make certain you're comfortable with the concept of getting a home loan. This initial meeting will include a run-down of our initial research i.e. how much you can borrow and the products that may suit you.

2 - Loan Appointment
Considering your needs, we'll come up with a suitable home loan, which will be presented to you. An application will be filled in and explained.

3 - Documentation and pre-approval/indicative approval
We will leave you a list of some simple evidence to collect, i.e. pay-slips, and ID. We will package it all together and lodge it with the selected lender. Once we have notification of pre-approval/indicative approval we will notify you immediately. The lender may ask for additional information at this stage.

4 - This is the good part
After the valuation has been completed, and if Mortgage Insurance is required it will be approved at this stage. The lender will advise us of a full home loan approval, and we will notify you immediately.

5 - Loan offer and mortgage docs
The lender will issue you with your 'loan offer', you need to read and sign the documents. The document will state your interest rate, loan amounts, and the term of the loan. The lender will also send you out your 'mortgage documents' which will usually include standard terms and conditions, and a legal document giving the security over the property. You will need to take out building insurance at this time.

Please call us on 1300 850 545 if you have any queries or we can organise a time to meet and run through the documents (as this can be overwhelming).

6 - Settlement (the part you've waiting for)
The lender liaises with your solicitor/conveyancer, to arrange for settlement to take place. Settlement means it's finally yours to move in, renovate, demolish, build, and enjoy.
