Read my other post regarding how they handled my brothers loan application. He clarified his employment situation with the branch manager, and they gave him a pre-approval after doing a credit check. The manager even told him not to worry and go ahead with putting an offer on the place he likes. Which he did, and then a week later they rejected the loan 12 March 2010 - Land titles received 3 April 2010 - Signed building contract 14 April 2010 - Prestart 28 April 2010 - Loan approved 30 June 2010 - Slab completed 27 August 2010 - Brickwork completed 22 September 2010 - Roofing completed 30 September 2010 - Internal walls plastered 12 October 2010 - Lock Up 19 November 2010 - PCI 26 November 2010 - Handover 29 December 2010 - Moved In https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32584 Re: Final Loan Approval Declined - Can they do this? 14Oct 03, 2009 9:11 am what percentage were you borrowing? 80% 90% etc. Jo My Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=21736 Current Status: Frame stage complete 28.09.09 Re: Final Loan Approval Declined - Can they do this? 15Oct 03, 2009 12:13 pm MichelleHill If you want to get a second opinion ( escalate the issue) : Bank of Western Australia Limited Mrs Sonja Higgins Head of Service Quality 08 9449 2525 or 1800 650 111 Ms Linda Van Gent Manager Customer Advocacy 08 9449 2525 or 1800 650 111 or Written complaints to : Mrs Sonja Higgins Head of Service Quality Bank Of Western Australia Limited Level 31 Bankwest Tower 108 St Georges Terrace Perth Wa 6000 Fax : 08 9449 2555 If you can find out who the insurer is you can also escalate the issue thru the insurers escalation process. Failing this you can contact http://www.fos.org.au - Financial Ombudsman and file a complaint to ensure there is no discrepancies. P.S - there is no such thing as a 100% credit history in Australia - you either have a credit file with no defaults or you have one with defaults - insurance companies also look at how many inquires you have on your credit file. Although you may not have any credit cards etc at the moment, if you have a high number of inquires. i.e 30 in the last 5 years - that could warrant you as a high risk customer. Prior good history is treated as next to nothing.. Its a old school perception that if you were good before you will continue to be next time around, unfortunately the banks don’t operate like that anymore. Good Luck Re: Final Loan Approval Declined - Can they do this? 16Oct 03, 2009 1:10 pm We had a similar situation at the start of the year with our bank and since then things have got alot tougher. Essentially unless you have been given your loan documents the ombudsman cannot do anything about it. This is the cruel part about it. Unless you can avoid LMI you are at the mercy of the Insurer assessing your risk profile and if you are worth the risk. Banks will give you unconditional approval but it is usually subject to clauses eg LMI insurance. It may be worth taking it up with the bank through the complaints department and see how you go. If anything try and get the application taken of your credit file if you can, and when you apply elsewhere let them know what has happened. They will then take this into consideration when assessing your application. All the best with it, it is truly a bitter pill to swallow when you get knocked back, but keep fighting for it if you can as when you get it all through and the house starts you soon forget about all the problems you faced trying to $$. http://buildingatfreeling.blogspot.com/ Building at Freeling Estate Adelaide MKII WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY FIRST HOME OWNERS AND WE BUILT A NEW HOME FROM SCRATCH The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19216 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption.
