Common Reasons Banks Decline Home Loan Applications:
-
Lacking Documentation
Missing paperwork is a common reason for loan denial. Talk to your bank to understand what's needed or consult a Southland mortgage broker for guidance. -
Not Enough Income
Your income must cover both your mortgage and living expenses. Banks use the Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio to assess this. If your DTI exceeds 40%, your application may be declined. Consider looking at more affordable properties, increasing your income, or reducing short-term debt. -
Self-Employment Challenges
Being self-employed doesn’t disqualify you from a home loan, but proving stable income can be challenging, especially for contractors or part-time workers. A mortgage broker can guide you on how to present your financials effectively. -
Poor Credit History
Banks review your credit history, including credit cards, personal loans, and missed payments. If poor credit is an issue, non-bank lenders might offer solutions—though often at higher interest rates. Consult a mortgage broker to explore these options. -
Low Deposit
A small deposit might affect your eligibility, but many banks offer low-deposit lending options. Your mortgage broker can advise on strategies to increase your deposit or find suitable lenders.
