Every person seeking a home loan has to undergo a number of steps from start to settlement. Understanding what happens in each step helps you prepare for the process.
Preparation
Initial Contact
The Meeting, there are usually five stages:
The Application Your mortgage provider will:
The lenders assessor will:
Pre-approval or Conditional Approval Advises your loan is approved subject to certain conditions e.g. finding a property. The conditional approval usually lasts for about three months and should not cost you anything.
Valuation The lender will conduct a valuation on the property you have chosen to show its market value and ensure they are lending within their guidelines.
Unconditional Approval Granted when all the conditions of the loan have been met, and all costs are determined such as establishment fees, stamp duty, and lenders and solicitors fees.
Letter of Offer Outlines the terms, conditions and costs of the loan. Get your solicitor to review the Letter of Offer and if okay, sign it and send it back to the lender so their solicitors can proceed to settlement. Once signed, it becomes the credit contract.
Mortgage Documents Sent with the Letter of Offer, they outline the agreement between the lender, borrower and the Office of State Revenue. The details of the mortgage are recorded on the Certificate of Title along with the name of the borrower/owner and the mortgage lender. This process will be managed between the lender and your solicitor.
Settlement Settlement occurs when the loan funds are drawn down to pay for the remainder of the property and the relevant costs. The date of settlement will be managed between the lender and your lawyers.
