His payroll have provided a letter of his employment, also stating permanency is usually granted after 6 months, in this type of job. What are our chances of getting our loan approved, considering we'l have LMI? Employment issues =( Totally LOST faith!! 2Dec 16, 2010 9:00 pm Will be extremely difficult. The prob is LMI have the final say. The fact that you are both employed via an agency plus your other half has had a change in role will make them nervous. It isn't a forgone conclusion that it will be a no - hopefully your other criteria is strong. Ie residential address lengthy, good long savings record and minimal debts. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Employment issues =( Totally LOST faith!! 3Dec 16, 2010 9:13 pm I've been living in the same add for last 13 years with parents, partner moved down from overseas at the start of the year, we pay no rent bcoz we live with rents, so we save quiet a fair bit, and have been since the start of the year. Only debt is hecs of 20,000, no credit cards. Re: Employment issues =( Totally LOST faith!! 4Dec 17, 2010 8:01 am There are one or two lenders that would look at this. Just make sure you confirm with the lender before filing the application or you'll get a hit on your credit record. The mortgage insurers don't like to see a busy credit record.

Feel free to give us a call between Christmas and NY, I will not be there however one of our mortgage brokers will still be in on Wed, Thurs & Friday. We can likely get you 90% + LMI (91.5% approx). BankWest is quite conservative with employment for loans >80% LVR as they do not have a delegated underwriting authority with their mortgage insurer QBE. The end result is that QBE knocks back a lot of loans that BankWest themselves have no problems with. Re: Employment issues =( Totally LOST faith!! 7Jan 02, 2011 5:41 pm zeena Argh!!

Credit files Condition: 1. Less than 1-2 credit enquires in the last 12 month 2. No credit default 3. been at your current address for more then 2 years 4. Have at least 5% “genuine Savings" Having said that, as pervious poster advise it is dependent on lenders as well, and as JB mentioned bankwest don’t have in-house delegation which makes it harder for them.
