Common Reasons Banks Decline Home Loan Applications:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
