At loans.com.au, we help people into their dream homes and cars.

To apply for the Expat Home Loan or any of our loans, visit: https://www.loans.com.au/apply or call 1300 572 814 and one of our lending specialists can help, or even complete the application for you.

You can get your dream home at a low rate because we don't have to pay for branches or broker commissions and have innovative technology processes, which means we pass our savings directly on to you.

There are a few documents you'll need to provide in your home loan application. Some of these include:

• Two (2) most recent consecutive payslips for each applicant
• Three (3) months bank statements showing regular salary credits, including most recent salary credits with the name of the employer evident
• Evidence of Salary Sacrifice or Packaging (if applicable)
• Evidence of Company Vehicle/Car Allowance (if applicable)
• Six (6) consecutive months of home loan statements showing consistent repayment history (if applicable)

You will need at least 20% deposit to be eligible.

If you're thinking about buying property, applying for a home loan can be seamless from start to settlement. One simple online application can tell you how much you can borrow, give you pre-approval and help you track your application progress all the way to ownership. To learn more, click here.

The settlement process is different depending on each individual applicant's personal situation, but we generally say it can take anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks. To get to settlement, you'll need to apply, speak to one of our lending specialists, upload your documentation, get the property valued, have your loan approved and the documentation delivered and signed, then you'll settle.

We charge a $300 settlement fee plus a security assessment fee. The security assessment fee for a standard property in a metropolitan area in a major city starts at $230 for properties valued up to $1 million. The security assessment fee is not refundable and is payable when the security assessment is ordered.

After settlement, you'll nominate on your direct debit form when you start repayments. Our Customer Care team will also confirm your repayment dates when calling you at loan settlement. Additional repayments into a fixed home loan are allowed and are up to $10,000 per year.

We sure do! Introduce someone to loans.com.au and we'll reward you when they settle their loan with us!
