How can Priority Home Loans help me more than going direct to a lender?

How is Priority Home Loans paid?

Priority Home Loans are paid from standard commissions paid by the lender at loan settlement. The same commission rate is applied regardless of loan product or lender chosen by the borrower.

Will it cost me more than going direct?

No. A number of banks and other financial institutions support the services provided by reputable loan consultants. Using loan consultants such as Priority Home Loans saves the lenders costs they could incur themselves in promotion and providing equal localised face-to-face customer service.

What does it mean to ‘go guarantor’?

A guarantor is a third party providing additional financial security to a loan application. This is done by providing a financial guarantee that the loan applicant will repay the loan. This guarantee can be released at any time and the guarantor holds no responsibility once the guarantee is dropped.

This can become very useful when trying to reduce your loan-value ratio (LVR) and can reduce the cost of lenders mortgage insurance dramatically. Usually a guarantor must be a direct family member such as a parent or spouse.

What is the LVR?

LVR is an acronym for Loan-Value Ratio, and represents the percentage of the security you are going to borrow. I.e. LVR = Borrowing amount / Value of security.

LVR is important in your loan application and to the lender. The lower your LVR, the lower the risk to the lender. If your LVR is high (>80%), you will be required to purchase mortgage insurance. This can be very expensive.
