unlock your home buying potential with pre-approval!

Are you ready to embark on the exciting journey of buying your dream home? Well, buckle up because pre-approval is your golden ticket to navigating the home buying maze with confidence!

But what exactly is pre-approval, and why is it so crucial?

Think of pre-approval as your financial superhero, swooping in to give you a clear indication of how much you can borrow. It’s like having a crystal ball that reveals your home buying potential, empowering you to shop for properties within your budget without any guesswork.

Here’s the lowdown on how pre-approval works and why it’s your secret weapon in the home buying game.

what is home loan pre-approval?

A home loan pre-approval, also known as conditional approval, is like a golden ticket granting you access to your dream home. It’s when a lender agrees to offer you a loan up to a specified limit, pending certain conditions.

There are two stages to this process: conditional approval, which gets you ready to dive into the property market, and unconditional approval, the final step.

You can kick-start the journey with a quick online application, where you’ll share details about your employment, income, and debts. This paints a picture of your financial landscape and gives you an estimate of your borrowing power, usually within minutes.

However, keep in mind that this initial estimate isn’t set in stone and may require additional documentation, especially for self-employed individuals.

Once you’re ready to take the next step, a Home Finance Manager will guide you through the approval in principle process. This involves a deeper assessment of your financial situation, though it’s not a guarantee of final approval. Remember, while conditional approval is a step forward, it does leave a mark on your credit history, regardless of the outcome.

when should I apply for pre-approval?

Timing is everything when it comes to pre-approval. Start by researching the property market to gauge the price range of your dream home and determine your affordability. You can easily get an estimate of your borrowing capacity using our online mortgage calculator or affordability calculator. Consider different loan terms and types to find what suits you best.

Most pre-approvals, including ours, are valid for three months and can be renewed if needed. However, it’s wise not to apply too early unless you’re serious about buying, as multiple applications can impact your credit rating. Aim to apply when your finances are in good shape, you’ve saved a deposit, and you’re ready to take the plunge into homeownership.
