Home Loan Pre-Approval in Perth - Know Your Budget Before You Offer
Fully assessed pre-approvals for Perth buyers, usually within 3 to 5 business days. Shop with a confirmed budget and make offers with confidence.
In a fast-moving Perth market, the buyer with finance already lined up is usually the one who gets the house. A pre-approval tells you what a lender is prepared to lend before you make an offer, so you can negotiate with confidence instead of guessing at your budget.
Not all pre-approvals are equal. Some are little more than an automated estimate. Launch Finance arranges fully assessed pre-approvals, where a lender has reviewed your income, expenses and credit file, so there are fewer surprises once you've signed an Offer and Acceptance.
Why get pre-approved through Launch Finance
- Fast turnaround. Most pre-approvals take 3 to 5 business days once your documents are in
- Your real borrowing range compared across multiple lenders, not one bank's calculator
- Valid for around 90 days with most lenders, and renewable if you need longer
- Property checks upfront. We flag lenders that restrict small apartments or certain postcodes
- Free service. Lenders pay our commission only when your loan settles
How long does a home loan pre-approval last?
Most lenders issue pre-approvals for 90 days. If you haven't found a property by then, we update your documents and have it extended or reissued. Tell us if anything changes in the meantime. A new job, a new car loan or a higher credit card limit can all change the outcome.
Why do pre-approvals fall over?
The most common causes are changes to your income or debts after the pre-approval was issued, a valuation that comes in below the purchase price, a property type the lender won't accept, or a pre-approval that has expired. Lenders also assess your repayments at a rate 3% above the actual rate, which leaves less room than many buyers expect. We test for each of these before you start making offers.
What happens next
A 15-minute discovery call. We collect your documents, compare lenders and lodge your pre-approval. When your offer is accepted, we take it through to formal approval and stay with you until settlement.
