Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions you could ask yourself about how home loans work.

Approved Property Finance uses our experience to compare offerings from over 50 home lenders. This approach enables us to provide a variety of financial solutions tailored to your business’s specific needs and situation.

The option you select will depend on the lender and the specific financial product you choose. We provide a variety of choices with connections to over 50 lenders, each offering various unique financial solutions. To see if you qualify, you can apply online or speak with one of our team members for more in-depth information.

Your selection will differ depending on the lender and the particular product you pick. With access to over 50 lenders, we have a wide array of options, each offering a variety of distinct financial solutions. To discover if you qualify, you can either apply online or consult with one of our team members for more comprehensive information.

Once we collect all the required information, we aim to get back to you within one day. Keep in mind, each lender follows their own schedule, so for more accurate timing, it’s best to talk with your account manager.

To start your application, just fill out our online form with some basic details about yourself.

An account manager will guide you through the entire process, managing your application from start to finish. If you have any queries, don’t hesitate to call us.

If you apply for a loan through Approved Property Finance, we start with a soft credit check to see if you’re initially eligible. If we send your application to a lender, they must do a hard credit check, which could affect your credit score.

A soft credit check lets lenders and brokers look at your credit history without it showing up on your credit file. This kind of check is hidden and can’t be seen by anyone else; it doesn’t leave any visible trace on your record.
A hard credit check, also known as a full credit check, is carried out by lenders to fully review your credit history before deciding on a loan. This check is a regulatory requirement for lenders. It gets recorded on your credit file and can be seen by others.
