Securing a home loan in Sydney
It’s a regular feature in the news, the Sydney property market is certainly hot and securing a Sydney home loan under the spotlight of policy and lender changes can be tricky.
Buyers should avoid high-risk suburbs where there is an oversupply of apartments particularly where several banks have placed lending restrictions on specific postcodes. High-risk suburbs may require deposits of up to 30% from borrowers, so it’s important to speak with a Sydney home loan broker before starting your property search.

Home loan stages for buying a property
1. Search and selection
Mint Equity will research all the home loan options for you, best rates, terms, splits, equity options and what you’ll need to prepare to get your loan approved.
2. Application submission
Send us your pay slips and supporting documentation and we’ll prepare all the forms that you need to review and sign to submit your application.
3. Pre-approval home loan
We’ll deal directly with the financial institution for you and submit your application. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
4. Go property shopping
Once you have pre-approved finance, you know exactly what you can spend. Say goodbye to your Saturdays, you’ll now have to find your perfect pad.
5. Make an offer
Once your offer is accepted, you normally have five (5) business days* from signing the Contract for Sale and paying 0.25% holding deposit to get unconditional approval on your loan.
6. Unconditional home loan approval
Unconditional approval means the bank is committed. Let us know straight away that you’ve signed the contract of sale and we’ll get the unconditional approval moving.
7. Pay your deposit
Now that you have unconditional approval (and not before!) – you can now pay the remaining 9.75% deposit.
8. Settlement
We make sure all the right people talk to one another, the lender(s), solicitors, real estate agents, builders. Now you get the keys to your new home.
* Cooling off period is usually only 5 business days, however in certain circumstances you can extend this.
