⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ GOOGLE REVIEW

Receiving a 5-star Google review is the standard we set for ourselves - this is just one example of the dedication our brokers bring every day. ⭐

“John was absolutely incredible throughout this whole process from start to finish. As first-home buyers, he took the time to ensure we fully understood every step of the process and kept us informed throughout. We felt extremely supported and genuinely could not have navigated the experience without John’s expertise and guidance.

John was professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and always willing to help with any questions we had. 5 stars all around — we would give him 10 stars if we could!” Elia & Dylan

🏡 Not All Home Loan Rates Are Created Equal.

It can be tempting to compare your interest rate with a friend, family member or colleague – but the reality is that home loan rates are tailored to your individual circumstances.

Here are some of the key factors that can influence the rate you’re offered:
✅ Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) – A larger deposit usually means a lower LVR, which may help you access more competitive rates.
✅ Credit history – A strong credit profile can improve your lending options.
✅ Deposit size – The more equity you have, the more options you may have available.
✅ Loan purpose – Owner-occupied and investment loans are often priced differently.
✅ Repayment type – Principal & Interest and Interest-Only loans typically have different interest rates.

The lowest interest rate isn’t always the best loan either. The right home loan is one that suits your financial situation, lifestyle, and long-term goals. ⭐

That’s where a mortgage broker can help. We compare lenders, explain your options, and help you find a loan that’s the right fit for you.

TRUE or FALSE? 🤔

You need to be in your new job for at least 3 months before you can apply for a home loan.
❌ FALSE!

We get asked this question all the time. The good news is that you may not need to wait three months to apply for a home loan.

Some lenders may consider your application after just one payslip if you’ve recently started a permanent role.

In many cases, you’ll simply need:
✅ A signed employment contract or letter of offer
✅ Your first payslip
✅ A consistent employment history (particularly if you’re staying in the same industry)

But here’s the catch…

Not all lenders have the same policy. Some may require three months of employment, while others may want six months or more.

That’s where a mortgage broker can make all the difference.

At Westgate Home Loans, we compare lender policies – not just interest rates – to find the right solution for your circumstances, helping you avoid unnecessary applications and move forward with confidence.

Have You Reviewed Your Borrowing Goals Since the New Financial Year? 🏡

It’s a great opportunity to reset your finances, review your spending habits, and make sure you’re on track to achieve your home ownership goals.

Here are five simple ways to get ahead:
✅ Refresh your budget – Give your finances a detox by tracking your spending over the next three months.
✅ Check your credit report – It’s free and helps you understand where you stand before applying for a home loan.
✅ Cancel unused subscriptions – Those forgotten monthly payments can quietly drain your cash flow.
✅ Automate your savings – Regular savings build healthy financial habits and bring you closer to your deposit goals.
✅ Live like you already have a mortgage – For the next three months, put aside the equivalent of a monthly mortgage repayment. It’s a great way to test your budget, build your savings, and see whether your repayments would be manageable.

A few small changes today can make a big difference to your borrowing power tomorrow.

➡️ If you’re ready to review your borrowing capacity or create a strategy to achieve your property goals, get in touch with the Westgate Home Loans team today.

👩‍💻👨‍💼 Self-Employed? Here’s something you need to know about borrowing:

Banks assess your income based on your TAXABLE income — NOT your gross revenue.

👉 Your accountant’s job is to help you LEGALLY minimise your taxable income through business deductions — which is great for tax time… BUT be careful:

The higher your expenses → the lower your taxable income → the lower your borrowing capacity.

If you’re thinking about borrowing in the next 12 months:

✅ Chat with your accountant & your broker NOW
✅ Plan ahead to ensure your business financials align with your borrowing goals
✅ Avoid surprises when it’s time to apply!

Being proactive today can help you borrow smarter tomorrow. 💡

💼✨ Got a side hustle? Want it to help boost your borrowing power?

Here’s what you need to know:

✅ Set up an ABN + run your income through a bank account
❌ Banks won’t count cash-in-hand or “under the mattress” income — it must be traceable.
✅ Report your income in your tax return
✅ Most lenders want to see at least 18 months to 2 years of income reported to the ATO.
✅ The more consistent your income, the stronger your application.
✅ Make sure your side hustle is profitable
👉 If your expenses are higher than your income, it could actually work AGAINST your borrowing capacity.
👉 Banks assess taxable income (income minus expenses), not gross revenue.

In short: structured, declared income = stronger borrowing position.

If you’re planning to grow your side hustle and use it to support future borrowing — chat with us. We help business owners of all shapes and sizes. 🚀
