Meet Sheena and Jamie...
Sheena and Jamie*, a newlywed couple, are looking to purchase their first home.
Background
- Jamie has been a self-employed painter for more than 3 years.
- He has no blemishes on his credit file and is taking home approximately $65k, which is confirmed on his tax returns and notice of assessments over the last 2 years.
- Sheena is a stay-at-home mum who receives family tax payments for their 1-year-old son.
- Jamie has a vehicle, and his only other debt is a credit card with a limit of $5k
Their current situation
- They want to borrow $340k on a property valued at $400k and understandably want to minimise any fees.
- They’ve received a generous wedding gift from Jamie’s father, which they hope to use as part of their deposit. However, some banks see it as ‘non-genuine’ savings.
Real life solution
- Since Jamie is able to supply the most recent 2 years of tax returns, he qualifies for a Pepper Prime home loan, and can apply using a full doc application.
- The LVR is less than 85%, so there is no LMI or equivalent fee payable.
- Pepper Money can accept non-genuine savings up to 90% LVR.
Non-bank lending making a real life difference.
