Self-employed and thought a home loan wasn’t quite in reach yet?

Lending policy has shifted 🚀

Where several years of financial history were once required, a growing number of lenders now consider just the latest year of a business’s financials, opening the door to a stronger borrowing capacity for eligible applicants.

If self-employment has been the reason for holding off on a property goal, it may be worth revisiting the numbers.

Auto pre-approval or manual? Watch before you assume yours is the real deal 👀

An automated pre-approval checks the application data against lender policy, but it doesn’t factor in changes in your circumstances that could impact your position down the line.

A manually assessed pre-approval gets an actual person looking it over, so nothing important slips through.

If you want a pre-approval you can actually rely on, reach out and let’s get it sorted properly 🚀

💳 Using Afterpay, Zip Pay or Klarna? These Buy Now Pay Later accounts can impact your borrowing power, even if you don't owe anything right now.
Lenders often assess BNPL limits in a similar way to other forms of credit, so it's worth reviewing your accounts before applying for a loan.

Commercial lending rarely comes with a simple structure, and this deal was a good example 🏬

Our client needed to secure an industrial unit in Heatherbrae fast, to house a business still in its early stages, run with several fellow directors.

With a mix of PAYG and self employed income across multiple owners, the challenge wasn’t just the numbers on the page, it was building a picture of where the business was headed.

Rather than relying solely on the latest FY position, we layered in income forecasting to demonstrate serviceability going forward. That approach secured 80% LVR funding through a major lender, with no annual reviews, on a 30 year term, settled within a tight timeframe.

Complex ownership structures, and businesses still building momentum, need a broker who can see the full picture, not just the numbers on paper 🤝

“Pre-approval” can mean two very different processes, and knowing which one you’ve got makes a real difference 👀

An automatic pre-approval runs your application data through a system, checking it against your credit report and the lender’s internal policy.

A manual, fully assessed pre-approval goes further. A credit officer actually reviews your supporting documents and application data, so you know it’s been properly checked, not just run through a system ✅

That’s what lets you search for property with real confidence. Your financial position has already been verified, so the only thing left to find is your property. Banks will still run final checks before formal approval, but if nothing’s changed on your end, there shouldn’t be any surprises.

Want the version that’s actually been checked properly? Get in touch, we’ll walk you through it 🤝🏡

Can your deposit be gifted to you? 🏡

Yes, it can. However, there are a few conditions.
In many cases, the gift must come from an immediate family member, and lenders will typically want to see that you've demonstrated genuine savings and responsible financial behaviour.
Every lender has different requirements, so it's important to understand what's needed before you apply.

We know you want to enjoy your time off, but if you earn commission or other variable income, when you take holidays can actually make a big difference to your borrowing capacity 👀

If you’re thinking about purchasing a property, having a quick chat with your mortgage broker about your plans and potentially pressing pause on travel for a little while could put you in a much stronger position when it comes time to borrow ✈️🏡

This can be particularly important if you earn commission, casual income, overtime, bonuses or other variable income, as lenders can assess this income differently depending on your recent earnings history.

Reach out to us if you’re thinking about buying and want to understand the best time to make your move 🚀

That’s what we’re here for 🤝
