is how long most pre-approvals last. Plenty of time to find the right place.

Why get pre-approved before you look?

It’s the single best first step in any property purchase. Here’s what it gives you.

Certainty

Know your real budget

No more guessing what you can afford. Pre-approval puts a firm number on your search before you start.

Speed

Move fast on the right home

When the right place appears, pre-approved buyers can make an offer that day while others are still ringing their bank.

Credibility

Be taken seriously

Agents and sellers treat pre-approved buyers as real contenders, which matters in a competitive market.

Clarity

Surface issues early

Credit hiccups or paperwork gaps show up now, when there’s time to fix them, not mid-purchase.

Pre-approval in four easy steps.

1

A quick chat

We’ll talk goals, income and savings, and tell you upfront what’s realistic before any paperwork starts.

2

We package it up

We gather your documents, choose the right lender from 90+, and present your application in its strongest light.

3

Lender assessment

The lender reviews and issues your pre-approval, typically within one to two weeks of lodging.

4

Shop with confidence

You house hunt with a firm budget. When you find the one, we convert to full approval and drive it to settlement.

James and the team have been fantastic in organising my finances. They recently helped refinance my home loan to a much better rate, found excellent options for my personal insurance, and my superannuation is now growing rapidly.

Pre-approval questions we hear every week.

Does pre-approval guarantee my loan?+

It’s a strong conditional yes, not a legal guarantee. Final approval checks the property itself. We make sure there are no surprises between the two.

Does pre-approval affect my credit score?+

One well-placed application has minimal impact. We choose the right lender first so you’re not applying multiple times.

How long does pre-approval last?+

Usually three months, and most lenders will refresh it easily if your search runs longer. We handle the renewal.

What documents do I need?+

Typically ID, payslips or business financials, and statements for savings and any debts. We’ll give you a simple checklist so it’s one trip, not ten.

Want your budget locked in this month?

Pre-approval costs nothing and puts you in the strongest position to buy. Let’s get yours moving.
