If you have bad credit, Revive Financial can help you get approval for a bad credit home loan.
A bad credit file is one of the main reasons home loan applications will be declined by major lenders in Australia. We see things differently at Revive Financial and firmly believe that everyone is entitled to a second chance. That’s why we offer bad credit home loans.
What is Bad Credit?
In Australia today more than 600,000 people are considered to have ‘bad credit’ and their credit risk would be seen as ‘high to extreme’, according to credit reporting agency, Equifax.
Bad credit refers to the current status of your personal credit file. Your credit file is a record of your financial and borrowing activity. Certain actions are noted on your credit file. Some actions will give you a bad score or rating, while other actions will help you maintain a good credit score.
Lenders will consider your credit score before approving your loan application. Your loan may be declined if you have bad credit.
Things that Might Impact Your Credit Rating
Defaults
Lenders will note a default on your credit file when you fall behind on your repayments. Banks will be more cautious about lending you money depending on the defaults you have. This is because you would be considered a high risk client.
Too Many Enquiries
You receive a mark on your credit file each time you apply for a loan. Too many enquiries will give you a bad score regardless of if you have been approved or declined.
Over Commitment
Almost all your debts are listed on your credit file. Having too many debts on your credit file will prevent you from proving you can afford your new loan.
Unpaid Bills or Tax
The law has recently been changed allowing your tax debt to be noted on your credit file. Similar to unpaid credit card and personal loans, unpaid bills and tax debt can give you a default on your credit file.
Payday Loans
Payday and cash loans weigh heavily on your credit score. Even if they are repaid on time and in full. Major lenders will steer away from lending to people who have needed to rely on these types of loans.
What are Bad Credit Home Loans?
A bad credit home loan is a home loan offered to people with a bad credit rating. Bad credit home loans are offered people who have previously been declined a loan by another lender.
Bad credit home loans are no different to home loans offered by a major lender, except that it is available to people who have a bad credit rating. High risk borrowers are usually people with a bad credit rating. This is because there is more of a chance they may default on their mortgage repayments. Specialty Lenders such as Revive Financial offer bad credit home loans.
Bad Credit Home Loans to Consolidate your Debt
Like all lending products, there are pros and cons and you should always do your research to determine if a bad credit home loan is the right product for you. A bad credit home loan is a fantastic product if you are struggling to manage your unsecured debts and want to use the equity in your mortgage to consolidate your repayments.
Major lenders may reject your mortgage refinance application if you are struggling to make payments on your credit cards and personal loans. However, a Revive Financial Home Loan would allow you to reduce your unsecured debt amount and consolidate it into your mortgage. This will leave you with one repayment, improved cash flow and a lot less stress!
Home loans usually span 25-30 years, but they attract a significantly lower interest rate compared to credit cards and personal loans. Credit cards can charge up to 20%p.a. on balances. Consolidating these debts with a bad credit home loan will make the repayments much easier to manage and you’ll avoid further defaults on your credit file.
Consolidating your debts with a bad credit home loan would simplify your repayments and make them easier to manage. Over time, your credit rating would improve, allowing you to revisit your mortgage from a better financial position.
What to Be Aware of with a Bad Credit Home Loans
Specialty lenders who operate outside the standard lending criteria offer bad credit home loans. This allows them to offer loans to people who might be a higher risk client, but could really use the financial assistance. Bad credit home loans won’t offer the same interest rates as a standard home loan. However, Revive Financial can also negotiate your debt levels down, instantly improving your financial position and counter-balancing the interest rates on your new loan.
You also need to be aware of any breakage fees or early pay out costs of your existing mortgage before proceeding with a refinance to a bad credit home loan.
