What is pre-approval?

Pre-approval (or conditional approval) is an agreement from a lender that you’re eligible to apply for a loan up to a certain amount. We assess your position so you can confidently put in an offer on the home of your dreams.

Know how much you can borrow so you can bid with confidence
Faster path to unconditional approval
Be seen as a serious buyer in the market

Apply for pre-approval when you’re ready to start house-hunting. Pre-approvals are good for 90 days and we can extend it for you if you need more time to search.

We’ll be in touch to help you through your home buying journey. Once you’ve found the property you want, our lending specialist team can easily help you turn your pre-approval into an unconditional approval. They’ll just need the contract of sale and we’ll arrange a property valuation.

What’s the difference?

Pre-approval vs unconditional approval

Just starting your house hunt? Get pre-approval until you’ve found the one.  Once you’ve found the home you want, come back for unconditional approval to seal the deal.
