Five steps from
first call to settlement

Loan documents being signed at a desk

No jargon and no guessing where your file sits. One broker, one point of contact, and a clear next action at every stage. Most applications move through in two to six weeks.

Start step one
  1. Talk to a broker

    A short conversation about your goals, income and timing. No cost, no obligation, no credit hit.

  2. We assess your position

    We calculate borrowing capacity and pre-assess your file against our panel of 45 lenders.

  3. Compare real options

    You get a shortlist of products with rates, fees and structures laid out side by side.

  4. We package and submit

    We prepare the application the way each lender wants it, then handle every follow-up question.

  5. Approval and settlement

    We coordinate with the lender, agent and conveyancer through to settlement, and stay on after.

What tends to take the longest

Documents back from you

Lender credit assessment

1 to 4 weeks

Valuation and settlement

Driven by the contract date.

Gathering documents for a finance application

What to have ready

Exact requirements depend on your circumstances, but almost every application asks for some version of these six.

Photo identification

Driver's licence or passport. For visa holders, your current visa grant notice as well.

Income evidence

Recent payslips, or an employment letter if you have started a new role.

Tax position

Notice of Assessment, or business financials and BAS if you are self-employed.

Bank statements

Statements showing salary credits and the funds available to complete the transaction.

Existing commitments

Credit cards, personal loans, HECS-HELP, car finance and any buy-now-pay-later accounts.

Property or asset detail

Contract of sale, dealer quote or invoice once you have found what you are buying.

Talking to a broker does not put a credit enquiry on your file. A formal application to a lender does, and we will tell you before that happens.

Send the basics through and a broker will call you back with what is achievable.
