What Is a Mortgage?

A mortgage is a loan from a bank or other lender used to buy or refinance a home. A mortgage is a secured loan: real estate acts as collateral when the loan is repaid in monthly installments, including interest, usually for a period of 15 to 30 years. If you do not pay, the lender could foreclose you. You will not be able to fully own your home until the mortgage is paid off. If you reach this milestone, you will need to check to see if the lien on your property has been removed by contacting your local secretary of state or county registrar. Your creditor must also return the original bill of exchange to you.

Will the mortgage insurer approve your loan?

 Will the mortgage insurer approve your loan? Did you know it’s harder to qualify for a loan if mortgage insurance approval is required? Mortgage insurers are very conservative when assessing a 95% home loan or 90% home loan, so it is unlikely that you can get approval for such loans from every lender. Unlike most mortgage brokers, we work out which lenders may approve your loan before providing you with a quote. This way, we don’t waste your time by offering you a discounted home loan that won’t be approved! Mortgage insurers are more likely to decline your mortgage application if: You don’t meet their genuine savings requirement. You don’t pass credit scoring criteria. You want to buy a property type that lenders might not like. Are you ready to apply for a home loan? Simply call us on 1300 889 743 or complete our free assessment form and one of our mortgage brokers will let you know which lenders may approve your loan.
