“How much can I borrow?”
This is one of the most common questions we get.
And the answer? It depends.
Lenders look at much more than just your income. They will also assess things like:
💳 Credit card limits
🎓 HECS/HELP debt
🛒 Living expenses
🛡️ Personal insurance
👨👩👧 Dependants or school fees
🚗 Car loans and personal loans
🏡 Existing mortgages or investment debt
Two people earning the same income can have very different borrowing capacities depending on their overall financial position. That’s where we come in.
We’ll help you get your numbers right BEFORE you apply — so you can plan with confidence and avoid nasty surprises.
