David

Meet David, a wonderful customer of ours who came to us when it was time to purchase his first home.

I was sick of throwing my money away paying rent to someone else so I started looking for a home of my own.
I looked at a couple places and then my girlfriend just said: “Oh, why don't you try loans.com.au". It turned out that you guys had the best credit policies out of anyone and you actually had a pretty good interest rate too.

Frequently asked questions

Why do you offer such low rates? What’s the catch?

For an extra 0.10%^ to the loan, you can add a 100% offset sub-account with online, ATM, EFTPOS & Visa debit card access to your money, plus unlimited free redraws. For more information on our home loan with an offset sub-account: https://www.loans.com.au/home-loans/offset-account/

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)

How much deposit do I need to have?

loans.com.au requires a minimum deposit of 10% of the purchase price of the property, or the current value of the property if you are refinancing. To avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), borrowers need a 20% deposit in most cases.

How long does it take to get to settlement?

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.

How do I manage my payments after settlement?

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.

What are the settlement fees?

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.

Do you have a 'refer a friend' program?

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