Home loans

Are you starting the journey to own your dream home in Australia? Stanford Financial can guide you through your home ownership journey. Specialising in individually curated home loans in the Brisbane and South East Queensland area, we’ll be your partner, ensuring that the path to your Australian home is smooth, educational and aligned with your circumstances.

We tailor every home loan to your circumstances across Queensland, so the path to your next home is straightforward and genuinely yours.

A home loan broker compares home loans across multiple lenders and manages the application to settlement. Stanford Financial holds a panel of more than 60 banks and lenders, covering first home loans, refinancing, construction, investment, low deposit, guarantor, bad credit and separation lending. Standard residential broking carries no fee to the client, because the lender pays commission on settlement.

OUR ACCREDITED NETWORK

With access to 60+ banks and lenders, we ensure that you get the best options.

More options mean a better deal. We compare across the panel so you land the right loan, not just the easy one.
QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Can't find an answer to your question?
How much can I borrow for a home loan?
The amount you can borrow for a home loan depends on several factors, including your income, expenses, existing debts, and credit history. At Stanford Financial, we evaluate your financial situation to determine the maximum loan amount you qualify for, ensuring it aligns with your repayment capability. You can get a rough estimate using our online home loan calculator or schedule a consultation with one of our loan advisors for a more precise assessment.
How much deposit do I need for a home loan?
The minimum deposit required for a home loan typically ranges from 5% to 20% of the property’s purchase price. The exact percentage can vary based on the loan product and your financial circumstances. A larger deposit might help you secure better interest rates and avoid the cost of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). We recommend discussing your deposit options with a Stanford Financial loan specialist to find the best solution for your needs.
What is the LVR of a home loan?
The Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) is a measure used by lenders to assess the risk of a home loan. It is calculated by dividing the loan amount by the value of the property being purchased, expressed as a percentage. For example, if you’re borrowing $300,000 to purchase a $400,000 property, your LVR would be 75%. A lower LVR generally represents lower risk for the lender and may result in more favourable loan conditions.
How to apply for a home loan?
Applying for a home loan with Stanford Financial is straightforward.

1. Kick-off Conversation: Your journey starts with a consultation with one of our experienced lending advisors.

2. Analytical Prep: A dedicated Credit Analyst gathers and prepares the documentation we need.

3. Exploration of Options: Your Lending Advisor presents the home loan options best suited to your circumstances.

4. Drafting Your Application: Your Analyst prepares your application, making sure every detail aligns with your goals.

5. Fine-tuning and Submission: We refine the finer details and finalise your application before submitting it for approval.

6. Celebrating Approval: Once your loan is approved, your Settlement Coordinator reaches out with the good news and guides you through the final steps.
Does HECS debt affect home loan?
Yes, your Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) debt can affect your home loan application. While it is not considered as negatively as other types of debt, your HECS debt reduces your overall borrowing capacity as it is a financial commitment that must be repaid from your income. Lenders, including Stanford Financial, take your HECS debt into account when assessing your loan application, evaluating your income and repayment capacity. It’s important to disclose any HECS debt during the application process.
