Three steps to home loan pre-approval

Spring is here which traditionally means the property market is warming up. If you are considering making that next property purchase, it is recommended to get a home loan pre-approval first. Not only does it save you time on your property search but also protects you from overspending at an auction.

How long does pre-approval take?

Turnaround times for pre-approvals vary for each lender from the time of application submission. Verify with your broker the expected timeframe for your preferred lender. Providing us with the correct documentation up-front will help achieve a speedy turnaround.

Follow these three easy steps to get your home loan pre-approval.

1. Collect your documents
   • Proof of identity
   • Proof of income and savings
