Loan application submitted to lender. (It can take 1 – 10 days to receive an approval depending on the chosen lender). Your Assured Consultant will keep you updated on the status of your application.
8. Conditional Approval
If you are issued a conditional approval this means that the lender requires more documents to support your application.
9. Property Valuation
Your lender may require a valuation to be done on your property. Your consultant will advise you if this is required.
10. Unconditional Approval
Congratulations your loan has been fully approved by the lender. It indicates that your application is not subject to any conditions by the lender.

Your mortgage documents will be issued by the lender and your Assured Consultant will arrange a meeting with you to read over and sign the documents.
12. Prepare for loan settlement
When your current lender has determined the exact date of settlement, they’ll issue a final payout figure for your old mortgage. Your new lender will agree upon a settlement date and pay out your outstanding loan balance.
13. Settlement
Your new lender will transfer the title deed to your property from your previous lender and will also lodge a discharge of Mortgage document with the Land Titles Office. Your new home loan is then used to pay off your current home loan.
