๐Ÿš— Thinking about buying a house but still paying off your car?

Good news โ€” having a car loan doesn't automatically mean you can't get a home loan! ๐Ÿก

However, those monthly repayments could affect how much you're able to borrow.

So, should you pay off your car first, keep saving your deposit or look at your options now?

We've covered what you need to know in our latest blog.

Does your payslip have a little extra on it? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’ฐ

If you regularly earn overtime, bonuses or commission, you might be wonderingโ€ฆ

โ€œDoes that actually count when I apply for a home loan?โ€

The answer is: potentially โ€” but lenders don't all assess variable income the same way.

We've broken down what lenders look at, what documents you might need and how overtime and bonuses can affect your borrowing power.

Still paying off HECS but thinking about buying a house? ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ 

You might be wonderingโ€ฆ

"Can I actually get a home loan if I still have HECS?"

The short answer is yes!

But your HELP repayments can affect how much you may be able to borrow โ€” and different lenders can treat HECS debt differently.

We've broken it all down in our latest blog, including whether paying off your HECS before buying could actually make sense for you.

Okay, but what actually is LVR? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ 

If you've ever heard a broker or bank throw around terms like โ€œ80% LVRโ€ or โ€œ90% LVRโ€ and had absolutely no idea what they were talking aboutโ€ฆ you're not alone ๐Ÿ˜‚

LVR stands for Loan-to-Value Ratio, and it can play a big part in your home loan.

We've broken down what it means, how it's calculated and how it can affect your deposit and LMI in our latest blog.

๐Ÿ  You've found the house, your offer is acceptedโ€ฆ then the bank valuation comes in lower. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

So, what happens now?

A low valuation doesn't automatically mean the deal is off, but it can affect how much the bank will lend and how much you may need to contribute.

We've broken down what happens when the valuation doesn't match the purchase price in our latest blog.

๐Ÿ†๐ŸŽ‰ BIG NEWS FROM HOBART! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ†

What a moment for Gardian Finance / Mortgage Choice and for Mackay!

Last week, some of our Gardian Finance team, together with the Gardian Directors, attended the 2026 Mortgage Choice Conference in Hobart.

We are absolutely thrilled to share that Justin Shoer finished #1 in the Loan Writer category nationally for Mortgage Choice having written the most settled loans in the country for 2025/26 financial year.

This incredible achievement reflects Justin's unwavering commitment to helping clients achieve their property goals, his passion for delivering outstanding service and the trust our clients place in him every day.

While Justin may have accepted the award, this success belongs to everyone who has been part of the journey, including our clients, referral partners, team members and the wider Mackay community.

Please join us in congratulating Justin on an extraordinary accomplishment! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿงฎ "But my income hasn't changedโ€ฆ so why has my borrowing power?"

We've broken down why your borrowing power can change โ€” even when your salary doesn't.
