Frequently Asked Questions:

How long does the mortgage application process take?

The mortgage application process can vary depending on the complexity of your financial situation, the lender's processes, and market conditions. On average, it can take a few weeks to a couple of months from application to settlement.

How much deposit do I need to buy a home?

The deposit required depends on the lender and the type of loan you're applying for. In Australia, a common rule of thumb is a 20% deposit, but some lenders may accept lower deposits with the inclusion of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

What documents do I need to provide to a mortgage broker?

Commonly required documents include proof of income (payslips, tax returns), proof of identity (passport, driver's license), employment information, details of existing debts, and statements of savings and assets.

Are there any fees for using a mortgage broker?

Many mortgage brokers in Australia do not charge fees to borrowers. They are compensated by the lenders they work with. However, it's important to clarify this with the broker upfront and understand any potential fees before proceeding.

What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?

LMI is a type of insurance that protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on their loan. It is usually required when the borrower's deposit is less than 20% of the property's value.

Why should I use a mortgage broker instead of going directly to a bank?

Mortgage brokers have access to a wide range of lenders and loan products, offering you a broader choice than what a single bank can provide. They can save you time by comparing multiple options and potentially help you find better terms or rates.
