PRE-APPROVAL

PRE-APPROVAL REALITY CHECK

The issues that can derail an approval

Most surprises do not come from nowhere. They usually happen because something was not assessed the way the lender actually assesses it. We remove those surprises before you start making offers.

Borrowing power is lower than expected

  • Bonuses, overtime, or allowances treated differently
  • Living expenses benchmarked above your estimate
  • HECS, BNPL, or card limits cutting serviceability

Deposit or LMI strategy is off

  • Wrong lender for your deposit position
  • LMI appetite varies by borrower and property type
  • Upfront cash needed is underestimated

Policy mismatch for your scenario

  • Self-employed income not assessed the right way
  • Contract or casual history not packaged properly
  • Property type restrictions overlooked

FAQ

Common pre-approval questions

The most important questions usually come down to accuracy, lender fit, and how usable the approval really is.

Does pre-approval guarantee I can buy anything?

No. It gives you a working approval path, but the property, valuation, lender policy, and any changes to your position still matter.

Is the highest borrowing amount always best?

Not necessarily. The cleanest approval path is usually the one that balances borrowing power, comfort, policy fit, and future flexibility.

How long does pre-approval usually last?

That varies by lender, but many approvals run for a set period and may need refreshes if your documents or circumstances change.

Can I get pre-approved if I am self-employed or casual?

Often yes. The key is choosing the right lender and presenting the income evidence in a way that fits that lender’s policy.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Best for buyers who want clarity before they commit

Pre-approval is most useful when you want confidence at inspection and offer stage, not confusion after the fact.

Great fit if you:
  • Want a realistic borrowing range before making offers
  • Need lender guidance around income, deposit, or LMI
  • Prefer a cleaner negotiation position with fewer unknowns
  • Want the approval path to match your real situation, not generic assumptions
Not ideal if you:
  • Want to rely on rough calculators without checking lender policy
  • Need the numbers to work only under best-case assumptions
  • Do not want to verify deposit, liabilities, or documents upfront
  • Prefer to start offering before you know what the lender will really accept
