In this guide, you'll find crucial details from the bank's approval letter and our summary, empowering you with the confidence to make informed decisions.
Understand your approval amount
Take a close look at the summary to find the amount you are approved for. While this figure represents your maximum purchasing power, your adviser will recommend a specific borrowing amount to ensure financial stability.
It's essential to adhere to this budget.
Identify property type approval:
The summary specifies the type of property you are approved to purchase, whether established or a build.
Please keep in mind that switching between the two will require a new approval, so stick to the specified category.
Review conditions and glossary:
On the right-hand side of the document, you'll find specific conditions and a glossary explaining their meanings.
Familiarize yourself with these, as they are crucial to understanding your preapproval.
Disregard mentioned interest rates:
Any interest rates mentioned in the letter should be disregarded. Rest assured; these details will be discussed closer to settlement.
Contact your adviser with questions:
Your adviser is here to assist you throughout the house hunting process. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need clarification during your search.
