🎄 Thinking of buying before the year wraps up? The countdown is officially on.

With Christmas approaching, most banks and settlement teams begin to slow down — which means there’s only a very small 1–2 week window left to get everything lodged if you want your purchase completed before the end of 2025.

If you’re aiming to settle before the holidays, make sure all signed loan documents, Letters of Offer, and any outstanding paperwork are returned by 17 December 2025.
Submitting everything early gives you the best chance of avoiding delays as lenders wind down for the festive season.

If you’re ready to move but unsure where to start, our team is here to guide you through every step and keep things running smoothly. 🎁✨

🚫 The Easiest Way to Get Knocked Back for a Home Loan? 🚫
Racking up a bunch of credit enquiries — even if you never opened the accounts. 😬

If you’re planning to buy your first home, here’s what NOT to do:
❌ Apply for multiple credit cards
❌ Sign up for Buy Now, Pay Later services (Afterpay, Zip, Humm, etc.)
❌ Take out new personal or car loans (speak to me FIRST before even looking at this!)
❌ “Shop around” for finance with different lenders/banks or brokers

💡 Here’s the catch:
Every time you apply for credit, an enquiry gets recorded on your credit file — even if you didn’t proceed and this will drop your credit score. And those records stay there for five years!!

So that car loan you applied for in 2021? It could still be hurting your score today.

📉 Too many enquiries (even small ones) can make banks nervous — they may see you as “risky” or financially stretched, even if you’re doing fine.

👉 Tip from me, Dan at Houses for Heroes:
Before applying for a home loan, check your credit history first. It’s free, and it can save you a world of frustration later.
