Bad Credit Home Loans
Bad Credit Home Loans allow you to borrow up to 95% of the purchase price in high population areas. Furthermore you can refinance a home loan with bad credit to 90% of property value including debt consolidation.
When purchasing at 95% LVR you’ll require funds of 5% deposit, stamp duty and risk fees & loan costs. High LVR’s of 95% are only available in high population areas such as Capital Cities or Major Regional Towns.
Lastly due to the higher risk factor on vacant land and construction, many lenders do not offer bad credit loans. However we do have a bad credit funder that will lend up to 80% lvr on Vacant Land and Up to 95% on Construction in high population areas.

What are my options with Mortgage Arrears?
Home loan arrears are very serious as this could result in the funder re-possessing your house. People generally find themselves in this financial situation due to one off life circumstances. Example’s may be illness, loss of employment, divorce etc. However now they have the potential to pay the repayments of their loan on time but can’t catch up.
It is extremely important that you contact your lender and alert them of any difficulties you may be having. Finally most mortgages that go into arrears get back on track with the lenders assistance.
What to do if Arrears are Serious?
Where the problem is more serious try to refinance your mortgage with a Bad Credit Mortgage Broker.
Specialist Mortgage Broker Non Conforming Loans will assist home owners by refinancing their debts and arrears into a new mortgage. You will need to have the required equity in your home and sufficient income to qualify for a refinance. Then this may just be the best solution for you.
Your current lender will not wait for their mortgage repayments forever. You will need to move quickly before your current lender takes action to sell your home.
Opportunity Costs:
In some instances applicants hold off until their credit file is clear and they are eligible for a prime loan. However, they will incur opportunity costs. This is the costs of delaying a purchase and missing out on the opportunity. Importantly such costs can far outnumber the benefits of obtaining a home loan now.
Improve Your Credit Rating!
Bad credit home loans are often seen as a stepping stone to help individuals get back on track. Then after your credit file is clear and a period of solid repayments these loans can be refinanced.
Bad Credit Mortgages have a Higher Risk so have a Higher Rate.
As a general rule, poor credit home loans are priced based on:
-
- Age of credit history defaults listed on the applicants credit report (moreover the older the better).
- Whether or not the defaults and judgments are finally paid, settled or unpaid at the time of application.
- Nature and type of the credit defaults or judgments.
- Lastly the LVR (the lower the loan to value ratio, the lower the risk to the lender)
