Non Conforming Home Loans

If you don't meet traditional bank criteria because you are either: ;close to retirement, are a seasonal or contract worker, non-resident, small or no-deposit holder or have a bad credit history, you may want to consider a Non Conforming Home Loan.

While you will typically pay a higher interest rate for non conforming loans, some non conforming lenders now offer interest rate reductions after 12 months or so of consistent on time payments. This clean record will also increase your chances of refinancing your loan with one of the mainstream lenders. Talk to your local mortgage broker and find out what your options are.

When Would I Consider a Non Conforming Home Loan

You may find that you fall under the Non Conforming borrowing category if:

You are starting a new business or recently started a new business.
You are changing jobs or are on probation.
You previously had an irregular income.
You are receiving Centrelink Payments or benefits - unemployment benefits do not qualify.
You have a bad credit history and have a satisfactory explanation for this.
You have tax debts that need to be paid out as part of the refinance.
You have a large number of CRAA (Credit Reference Association of Australia) enquiries.

Bear in mind that in all these situations, you would still have to satisfactorily prove to the non conforming lender that you are able to meet the repayments. You may also have to consider borrowing less than you would if you were going for a standard loan and pay a higher interest rate
