At Non Conforming Loans, we offer a range of variable interest rates depending on your individual circumstances and the product you apply for. A decision on your rate will be based on a range of different factors including;
- The amount you need to borrow against the property value; known as the Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR)
- The size of your deposit
- Your source of income
- Credit history
- Assets and liabilities
- And whether the loan is to purchase an owner-occupied property or an investment property.
There are fees and charges associated with every home loan which should be factored in when saving your deposit. For example, establishment/application fee, brokers fee, monthly administration fee, legal fees, stamp duty and mortgage risk fee (if applicable).
There is no limit to the number of debts you can consolidate as long as the outcome of the consolidation puts you in a better financial position. We can look to refinance different types of debt including credit cards, personal loans, car loans, private finance, tax and other business debts
Loan to Value Ratio, commonly referred to just as LVR, is the ratio of the loan size to the property purchase price. The size of the deposit plays a key role in determining the LVR, as usually the larger your deposit, the lower your LVR will be. It is a key part of the loan assessment process and it can affect how much you can borrow from a lender, as well as the interest rate charged and the need purchase mortgage insurance.
To calculate your LVR, divide the amount you need to borrow (e.g. $400,000) by the value of the property (e.g. $500,000) and multiply this by 100 to give you a percentage.
$400,000/$500,000 x 100 = 80% LVR. This would mean you have a 20% deposit of $100,000 towards your $500,000 property.
If you have sufficient income to service the new mortgage then this could be the most appropriate action, especially if your debt situation hasn’t gotten completely out of control. However, unless you are ready to make a commitment to avoid further debt, budgeting to change your spending habits and making extra repayments on your new mortgage, a debt consolidation mortgage is likely to get you further into debt.

Many Prime home loan lenders have a minimum credit score between 650 > 700 requirement of their applicants. Because of this focus on financial stability, it can be extremely difficult for individuals who have encountered financial hardship or who have bad credit on their credit file in their life to be approved for this loan. Fortunately we do not credit score and will accept all applicants for our home loans.
Navigating the home loan market with a less-than-perfect credit history can definitely feel a bit tricky, but the good news is that there are lenders in Australia who specialise in helping people in this situation! While traditional banks might be hesitant, a number of specialist lenders and mortgage brokers are available to assist. Many experts suggest that you might start with a bad credit home loan to secure your property, and then once your financial situation improves and your credit history recovers, you could look into refinancing to a loan with a lower interest rate
Online tools provide an initial indication of your borrowing power. While they are incredibly helpful for getting started and understanding your options, particularly if you’re concerned about your credit history, it’s important to remember that they are often conditional. A full assessment, including a comprehensive credit check, will typically occur later in the process when you apply for the actual loan. So, while you might not get a full, unconditional pre-approval immediately online without any checks, you can certainly use online tools to get a strong indicative pre-approval or pre-qualification, which is a fantastic starting point for those with bad credit.
