Meet Olivia and Ben...
Olivia and Ben*, a recently married couple, are looking to purchase their first home.
Background
- Olivia and Ben are recently married and have a 1 year old baby.
- As a wedding gift, Ben's father gave them $75,000 to help them buy their first home.
- While Olivia is a stay-at-home mum, Ben started his own consulting business 3 years ago.
Their current situation
- Thanks to a wedding gift from Ben's dad, Olivia and Ben were looking to purchase their first home for $500,000.
- They initially approached their bank for a home loan, but were turned away. Despite having enough funds for the deposit, the bank considered the gift as ‘non-genuine savings’
- With clean credit, income from Ben's consulting business, and Family Tax Benefits (Part A and B) making up their income for serviceability, they were looking for a lender who could support their dream of owning a home.
Real life solution
- Pepper Money were able to offer them a Pepper Prime Full Doc loan at 85% LVR.
- They were able to apply with non-genuine savings as a deposit, and had their income assessed with Family Tax Benefits Part A and B on top of Ben’s self-employed income.
- This was verified through:
- Last 2 years tax returns
- Last 2 years tax assessment notices
Non-bank lending making a real life difference.
