Low-doc Mortgage Perth

Low doc mortgages are traditionally for borrowers who are unable to provide sufficient evidence of income, such as self employed workers.

The loan allows you to get finance without the need to show the same documentation as a regular home loan would require. Instead, you sign a self declaration of your income. There are a few variations to low doc home loans so it is best to speak with Your Local Perth Mortgage Broker before making any decisions.

The application must still be made in writing and most low doc loans will cover up to 80%of the value of the property. The more existing equity you have or the larger the deposit you have saved, the more you will be able to borrow.

Self declared income
This is the most common form of low doc loan. The lender offers a home loan when you sign a declaration of income. The signed declaration states that you receive the stated income, and you do not need to show accompanying evidence.

Advantages
For those borrowers who find they do not have the necessary proof of income or documentation because they are self employed, or work on a casual contract, or have recently moved to Australia, a low-doc or no-doc home loan offers a reasonable, fair alternative to home loan finance. If you are able to save a deposit, then you may be able to negotiate with the lender to waive some of the fees such as lenders mortgage insurance or secure a lower rate.

Considerations
These loans do usually attract higher interest rates, depending upon the level of risk perceived by your lender. Lenders Mortgage Insurance also may apply and coupled with the higher interest rates this can prove quite expensive. The best thing you can do now, is carry out your own research before going ahead with any mortgage agreement. Other fees could be involved with a low-doc loan. In some circumstances the more documentation you can show the lender, the less these are likely to be. Even though you do not need to provide proof of income, most lenders will require a clean credit history. Also, there may be a shorter loan term in the beginning and your lender will ask you to refinance at the end of the term.

Low-doc and no-doc home loans are best suited to any borrower who is unable to provide full financial statements to secure approval on a regular home loan.
