What Documents Do I need to Prove My Income?
This really depends on your employment situation. Some typical requirements are as follows
- Letter from Accountant to confirm how long your business has been trading for and the income
- Last 3 Payslips or Monthly income paper work
- Last 6 months bank account statements showing regular income deposits
- Annual Tax Returns or equivalents

Please note, if the documents above are in a different language then these will need to be
translated.

Can I Borrow In Another Currency?
Unfortunately this used to be an option but is no longer available. The only currency you can now
borrow in is Australian.

How Much Deposit Will I Need and What Is The Maximum I Can Borrow?
This also depends on your residency status. If you are an Australian Citizen or Permanent
Resident then you could borrow up to 90% of the purchase price, meaning you will need to come
up with at least 10% deposit. If you are a non resident then your maximum borrowing will be 80%
and you will need to come up with 20% deposit.

purchase. Just send through an enquiry and we can get them to contact you for an obligation free

Will I Have a Higher Interest Rate Because I Work Overseas?
No, because our lenders do not change their products for overseas clients, you will get the exact
same products and rates as if you were a local resident, living and working in Australia.

Is Foreign Investment Review Board Approval Required?
If you are an Australian, or New Zealand Resident or Citizen then the answer is No, you will not
need FIRB Approval

Australia. This typically takes around 2 weeks to apply for and we can assist you with this.
