Can I get approval for a home loan if my financial situation isn't perfectly simple?
Many clients worry if their deposit is enough, or if past financial challenges like a unique income situation or a less-than-perfect credit history will prevent them from securing a home loan. At Know Howe Finance, we specialise in looking beyond simple situations to find solutions. We’ll assess your full financial picture to position you for approval, even with a smaller deposit or complex background.
Am I able to consolidate all my debts into my new home loan?
This is a very common question, and yes, we frequently assist clients who want to roll multiple debts (e.g., credit cards, personal loans) into a single, more manageable home loan. This can simplify finances and potentially reduce monthly repayments. We'll explore if debt consolidation is the right strategy for your unique situation to improve your financial stability.

What if I have bad credit?
Even with a challenging credit history, securing a home loan might still be possible. We work with a network of lenders, including those who specialise in non-traditional lending, who understand that life happens. We'll discuss your specific situation confidentially and explore the best pathways to help you get approved.
What if I have multiple payments or existing debts?
Clients often ask how existing commitments will impact their ability to get a home loan. We work with you to understand all your financial obligations and can often help structure your application or explore options like debt consolidation to make your home loan journey smoother and more achievable. Our goal is to simplify the process and improve your borrowing power.
How long until I receive finance once my home loan is approved?
After approval, clients are eager to know the next steps. The timeline can vary depending on the lender and specific circumstances, but generally, funds are disbursed once all settlement conditions are met, such as valuation and legal checks. We'll keep you informed every step of the way, guiding you through the settlement process until the keys are yours. Typically, this can range from 2 to 6 weeks.
