Mortgage Broker in Broadmeadows

Nothing on a standard home loan. Our commission is paid by the lender once your loan settles, and it does not increase your rate or your balance. There is no charge for an initial conversation, for working out your borrowing capacity, or for a pre-approval that does not end up being used, and there is no charge for the additional work involved in a First Home Guarantee application or in preparing the duty exemption paperwork for your conveyancer. Fees only enter the picture on commercial and complex business facilities, and in those cases you would be told the amount in writing before any work started.

Frequently yes, though the rules vary more than for permanent employment. Most lenders want to see a period of continuous casual work, commonly six to twelve months with the same employer, and will then assess an averaged income rather than your best fortnight. Labour-hire and agency work is treated more cautiously by some lenders and reasonably by others, and a genuine track record across an industry rather than a single placement helps considerably. What tends to cause a decline is a recent gap or a change of industry, rather than the casual status itself. Send us twelve months of payslips and we will tell you which lenders will look at it.

It is extremely common around Broadmeadows and it is entirely workable, but the lender will want it documented properly. Most will require a signed gift letter confirming the money is a gift with no obligation to repay, because a hidden family loan changes your assessed commitments. Many lenders will also want at least 5 per cent of the price held as genuine savings, meaning accumulated in your own account over three months or more, though a consistent rental history is accepted as an equivalent by a number of lenders. Where the entire deposit is gifted and there are no genuine savings, the field narrows but options remain. Tell us how the deposit came together at the start.

Local price points make this one of the more achievable markets for it. The federal First Home Guarantee allows eligible first home buyers to purchase with a deposit as low as 5 per cent without paying lenders mortgage insurance, subject to income tests, property price caps and the limited number of places released each year, and Broadmeadows prices generally sit comfortably within the relevant cap. Outside the scheme, most lenders will lend up to 95 per cent of the value with lenders mortgage insurance capitalised onto the loan. The Victorian first home buyer duty exemption also applies at these price points, which removes a substantial cash requirement. We will model the scheme route and the standard route side by side.

All of them, along with Jacana, Glenroy, Roxburgh Park and Craigieburn further north. These suburbs share Broadmeadows' lending characteristics closely, with similar income profiles, comparable price points and the same postcode considerations under lender policy and the government schemes. A handful of lenders apply postcode restrictions to apartment lending in parts of this corridor, which is worth checking before you commit to a unit rather than a house. Call 0485 011 020 with the address and we will confirm the position before you sign anything.

For PAYG income, your last two payslips and three months of bank statements covering both your everyday account and any savings, plus a rough figure for your credit card limits and any car or personal loan balances. For casual work, twelve months of payslips is far more useful than two. If you are self-employed, your most recent tax return and notice of assessment plus your last four BAS lodgements. If family is contributing to the deposit, a note of how much and from whom. Statements older than about 30 days expire and have to be re-supplied, which is the single most common cause of a file stalling, so it is worth gathering everything at once.
