Order of a Home Loan Application | Mortgage Broker Warragul & Gippsland
The correct steps to follow before signing a contract - avoid finance delays and protect your purchase.
The 3 Essential Steps Before You Buy
Step 1 - Speak With a Mortgage Broker
Before inspecting homes or signing contracts, speak with Allenda to understand your borrowing capacity, deposit requirements and lender options.
Step 2 - Get Pre‑Approval
A formal pre‑approval gives you confidence, protects you during negotiations and ensures you don’t commit to a property you can’t finance.
Step 3 - Sign the Contract With the Right Finance Clause
When you sign a contract, always include a clear finance condition such as:
“Subject to finance via Allenda Finance mortgage broking approval.”
This protects you, gives us time to complete your loan assessment and ensures the contract can be withdrawn or extended if the lender requires more information. We guide you through the entire process so your purchase is secure and fully supported.
