Ever wondered how one bank can say "No"… while another says "How much do you need?" 😅
Welcome to Lender Policy.
Every lender has its own rules around what they'll accept and how they'll assess things like:
💰 Income
⏰ Overtime, bonuses & allowances
👨💼 Self-employed income
💳 Existing debts
🏡 Property types
📊 Serviceability
👨👩👧 Dependants
💵 Deposit & genuine savings
📈 DTI and LVR
One lender might look at your situation and see a problem.
Another might have a policy specifically designed to accommodate it. 👀
That's why getting a home loan isn't always about finding the bank with the lowest advertised rate.
First, you need a lender whose policy actually fits you.
A big part of our job as brokers is knowing which lenders want what — so rather than trying to squeeze your circumstances into the wrong lender's box, we find the right box. 📦👌
Same numbers. Different rulebook. Different result.
And with a lot of lenders to choose from… knowing where to look can make all the difference. 😉
