Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from Sydney borrowers. Straight answers from our broker team.

You can buy with as little as 5% deposit using the First Home Guarantee, which lets eligible first home buyers avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance entirely. At 10% deposit you access more lenders and better rates. At 20% deposit you eliminate LMI and unlock the sharpest rates. For low-doc loans, most lenders require at least 20%. You'll also need 3–5% for stamp duty (unless exempt), legal fees, and upfront costs. Check your eligibility →
A bank can only offer you their own products. Mortgagefy compares our wide panel of lenders — major banks, credit unions, and specialists — to find the loan best suited to your situation. Our service is completely free to you; we're paid a commission by the lender after settlement. Under Best Interests Duty we are legally required to recommend what's right for you, not what pays us more.
Yes — and we specialise in this. Sole traders, ABN holders, company directors, and contractors can access a full range of home loans. With 2 years of tax returns you'll qualify with most standard lenders. If deductions reduce your taxable income, specialist low doc and alt doc lenders accept BAS statements, accountant declarations, or business bank statements instead. Learn about self-employed loans →
A decline from one bank is not the end. Banks reject around 1 in 5 applications. Specialist and non-bank lenders assess income, credit, and risk very differently — and often approve borrowers the big banks decline. The key is matching the right lender to your specific situation.

No. Our service is completely free. We're paid a commission by the lender after settlement. Under Best Interests Duty we are legally required to recommend what's right for you, not what pays us more. You get independent, expert advice across our full lender panel at no cost.
With a broker, pre-approval typically takes 2–5 business days once documents are submitted — compared to 7–14 days going direct to a bank. We prepare a complete application package upfront to minimise back-and-forth. Pre-approval is valid for 90 days. For self-employed borrowers, having tax returns and BAS statements ready speeds things up significantly.
A soft credit check (free assessment) doesn't affect your score. A formal pre-approval triggers a hard inquiry that can briefly reduce your score by a few points. Multiple hard inquiries in a short period signal financial stress to lenders — another reason using a broker helps. We assess your situation first and only apply to the most suitable lender.
Yes. We work with certified Sharia-compliant lenders offering Ijara, Murabaha, and Diminishing Musharakah structures — genuine no-interest products reviewed by a Shariah supervisory board, not rebranded conventional loans. Learn about Islamic finance →
