Home Loan Declined by the Lenders Mortgage Insurer?

If this has happened to you then you know how frustrating it can be. You were probably pre-approved, had found the home of your dreams, paid for building and pest and put down a deposit only to be told at the 11th hour that the bank had said yes, but the lenders mortgage insurer has declined to insure your home loan. You may not have been aware that your application even required lenders mortgage insurance ('LMI') approval so this news would have come as quite a shock. 

If this has happened to you, don't give up just yet. However, to protect your credit file you need to get a second opinion from a specialist mortgage broker specialising in temporary resident and expat home loans as making multiple applications to the wrong lenders will severly impact on your credit file. There is more than one lenders mortgage insurer in Australia so it is possible that you can still get your home loan approved providing you go to the right lender with expat and temporary resident friendly policies.

Why use a Specialist Non Resident Mortgage Broker?

Non Resident Home Loan policy is a minefield with every bank having their own individual lending policy and requirements. This difference in lending criteria can result in one bank approving your loan despite your residency status while others will decline the application or require a larger deposit. For example, some lenders will;
  • Only lend to temporary residents who are on a particular type of working or spouse visa,
  • Not lend to temporary residents or Australian Expats at all,
  • Only lend to temporary residents if purchasing with an Australian citizen or permanent resident,
  • Require expats to have a deposit of up to 30%
  • Only lend to Expats if they earn a particular currency.

This is where MAP Mortgage Brokers can help. MAP understands the complex non resident lending policies and requirements of all the Australian banks and non bank lenders to ensure that your home loan is approved the first time at the best interest rate available.
