waiting for the approval of your loan? In
PART 1 of this article, we have discussed
about what is involved after the submission
of a home loan, the requirements, and what
could be the possible reasons for the
delayed approval of your home loan
application. Here, we are going to learn the
succeeding processes and what other
requirements that you will need to comply
with that will ensure the approval of your mortgage.
The Significance of Property Valuation in the Mortgage process
In the event that the loan provider will issue a conditional approval, the next thing to do
is to make a property valuation. This is often organised by the loan provider and is
considered one of the most important step during the process since it will allow the loan
provider to confirm if the purchase value of the property that you are aiming to buy is
compatible with the current market value.
This process may take up to 5 days because of the following reasons:
The loan provider will outsource the valuation and they will need to wait for the
availability of the assessor.
It may take a few days for the assessor to have access to the property. In the
event that the property has tenants, it will require real estate agents to help –
they are responsible for notifying the tenants and book the assessor at the most
convenient time.
Assuming the valuation comes as expected, the next thing to do is to get a mortgage
insurance approval (only if mortgage insurance is required). This can take a couple of
days after the valuation receipt has been accepted. During this time, the loan provider
can issue a final unconditional approval. Then again, the process will take place a day
after the mortgage insurance approval.

3. Loan Offer Documents
The loan provider will issue a letter of offer and this normally takes 3-5 working days
after the final approval. The documents are to be reviewed, signed and returned to the
lender.
The Settlement and Closing of the deal
The mortgage, including the additional documents, will be the next in line. This
commonly happens when the letter of offer has already been returned. Occasionally,
there are other lenders who will simultaneously prepare all the necessary documents.
Before settlement, the mortgage broker will see to it that all the requirements and
necessary documents are accounted for. This is a crucial step and you don’t want to
have any delays before the bank will receive all the necessary documents.
Who is responsible for the settlement documents?
The loan provider will prepare all the mortgage documents
The Executing mortgage documents will be completed by you and your
mortgage broker
Title and Other Searches will be completed by the lender and your settlement
agent
Stamp Duty Concession and payment will be organised by you and your
settlement agent
First home owner grant receipt will be organised by the loan provider
So, that would be all for the entire mortgage application process. There are actually a lot
of things to comply with, and a reliable mortgage broker can prove to be a great help
especially in making arrangements for the lenders. You need to find the right mortgage
broker so you’ll have a sound relationship with the loan providers and other known
panel and generally to achieve the approval of your home loan application.
