Challenges of Obtaining Home Loans with Bad Credit

Do you want to know more about getting home loans with bad credit? People with bad credit may find home loan applications difficult as their credit report may show the impact of a business failing, unexpected unemployment, Covid, a separation, reduced hours, a critical illness in the family or sudden hardship. Seeking a mortgage broker who can give expert advice and understanding will help towards gaining a bad credit home loan in NZ.

Expert Guidance for Bad Credit Home Loans in NZ

Our team has helped so many home buyers apply for a home loan who have had financial hiccups resulting in a poor credit rating, poor repayment history or bankruptcy. These may be historic or one-off incidents that have affected standard loan applications through banks. By being open and honest about your financial situation, we can work with you to find solutions. This may mean that a Non Bank mortgage could be arranged to repay or refinance any other outstanding debts, including those high interest rate credit cards, so you can start afresh. Refinancing and consolidating debts is a great way to put all your bad credit problems in one basket, so you can then tangibly focus on paying them off as fast as possible.

The good news is that accessing your KiwiSaver funds, as a deposit, does not require a good credit history! Additionally selling assets such as a car or boat can also help you work towards buying your first home.

Alternative funding sources: Kiwisaver

One of the biggest problems potential homebuyers face when trying to secure a home loan is saving for the deposit. In most cases, banks and lenders require a 20% deposit. This means you must save 20% of the home’s value before purchasing. With the cost of living pressures hitting almost everybody, this is never easy–especially when considering rising house prices.

Fortunately, there are other alternatives. If you’ve held a KiwiSaver account for over 3 years and meet other eligibility requirements, you can withdraw these funds for your first home. As long as you leave $1,000 in the KiwiSaver, you can take as much as you need for a first home deposit.

The bottom line: If you don’t currently have your 20% deposit saved, don’t despair because there are options.

Is a bad credit history stopping you from getting a home loan? With help from the friendly Non Bank team, you can retake control of your finances and find a home loan that suits your needs.

Answer

What are bad credit home loans?

Bad credit home loans are exactly as the name suggests. They are home loans for people with poor credit or repayment history. When applying for financial products and services, most banks and lenders check your credit history and put a lot of weight on the results. If your credit score isn’t good, it often means you won’t get a home loan. However, some non-bank lenders will consider home loans for people with a poor credit history, and it’s our job to find them for you. Bad credit can come from a number of things, including unpaid bills, bankruptcy, failed business ventures, being late with repayments, dishonours on your bank statements, too many short term debts and many more. Basically, if you don’t look after your finances, you’ll have trouble getting a home loan. Until now. Non Bank NZ is all about helping people with poor credit histories access home loans and other financial products. They look to solve problems with solutions. Bad credit home loans don’t always come with exactly the same terms as a traditional home loan. For example, you may be required to pay a slightly higher interest rate because the lender is, at least according to the numbers, taking a bigger risk.

Reviews

What clients say about Allan

  • “Allan Nicol, he is an awesome advisor. Very helpful, prompt and efficient person. We had been rejected quite a few times by almost all the banks and most of the brokers until I met Allan from First Rate Mortgages. Now that Allan has made our dream come true, we have bought our very first home. We managed to work through in this desperate time of Covid-19 and am glad we made it through. We highly recommend Allan and First Rate Mortgages. We are really pleased with the service and will continue to work with Allan in future.”

    Manjeeta, first home buyerAdviser: Allan Nicol
  • “Allan Nicol, exceeded our expectations. We were projected to lose our home we had purchased in 2019, due to accepting a loan with people that were interested in lining their own pockets. Allan took on our own case, with all the challenges, and gave us back our home, freedom but most of all. A renewed faith in brokers. Allan you truly helped us- you saved our home and kept our mental state stable. Thank you is never enough. Your a really nice person, and I will continue to recommend you.”

    PollyannaAdviser: Allan Nicol
  • “Allan has been simply outstanding. He assisted us in buying our first home despite a large amount of personal debt. He touched base with us later on to see how we were tracking with keeping our personal debt under control. He then helped us refinance our mortgage to a bank, and it incorporated all of our outstanding personal debt. It isn't over the top to say this has all been truly life changing for our family! Thanks so much Allan.”
