A home loan pre approval is confirmation of your ability to obtain a mortgage loan without having any formal contract in place. The pre approval gives you a hard number that we can approve you for, which allows you to go out and shop around for homes.
You’ll fill out an online pre approval for a home loan and receive confirmation based on the amount you’re eligible to receive. This number is generally good for 90 days. It’s an offer but not a commitment to lend you that amount. There are a number of factors that could change your pre approval amount.
Keep in mind that a pre approval is different from a prequalification. Prequalification is the first step, which is only an estimate of how much you’ll be eligible to borrow based on rough personal finances and a credit check.
This step is more commonly used when a prospective home buyer is unsure if they’re even eligible to receive a home loan.
The best thing about a home loan pre approval through Fox Home Loans is that it doesn’t cost you a thing and it doesn’t lock you into anything. You’re free to take this pre approval and go to someone else if you feel compelled to do so.
A pre approval is necessary in the home buying process because it shows the seller of the home you’re trying to buy that you’re serious about purchasing it.
It’s proof that you’re a capable buyer. It could make the difference when it comes to negotiations if the seller is choosing between your offer and another offer.
In some cases, real estate professionals won’t even work with you until you have a home loan pre approval. They may think that you’re not ready or serious about your intention to buy and could only waste their time.
Receiving a pre approval for a home loan is a necessary step of the process and not something that you should overlook.
Getting mortgage pre approvals is easy through Fox Home Loans. All you need to do is fill out our online form with basic contact information, your credit score, and income information. We’ll work hard to crunch the numbers and see what types of mortgage loans you may be eligible for.

Home loan pre-approval is a process by which a lender reviews your financial and credit history to determine how much money they would be willing to lend you for a home purchase. Pre-approval is not a guarantee that you will receive a loan, but it does provide an indication of how much you can borrow and the terms of the loan.
To obtain pre-approval, you typically need to provide the lender with information about your income, assets, and debts, as well as your credit score. The lender will use this information to assess your creditworthiness and calculate how much they are willing to lend you.
The pre-approval process typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the lender and the complexity of your financial situation. Once you receive pre-approval, you can start shopping for homes with the confidence of knowing how much you can afford to borrow.

Enquire for your First Home LoanHome loan refinance is the process of replacing an existing home loan with a new loan from a different lender or with a different loan product from the same lender. The primary purpose of refinancing a home loan is usually to obtain a better interest rate or to access different loan features or benefits.
When you refinance a home loan, you essentially pay off the existing loan with a new loan, and the terms and conditions of the new loan may differ from those of the old loan. For example, you may be able to obtain a lower interest rate, switch from a variable rate to a fixed rate or vice versa, or access features such as offset accounts or redraw facilities.
Refinance your Home LoanBefore you start the process of switching home loans, it’s important to consider why you want to make the switch. Do you want to lower your interest rate, access different loan features, or consolidate debt? Understanding your reasons for switching can help you choose the right loan product and lender.
It’s important to note that switching home loans can be a complex process, and it may be helpful to seek advice from a mortgage broker like Fox Home Loans to ensure that you are making the right decision for your individual circumstances.
Switch Home LoansAn investment property loan is a type of home loan designed specifically for individuals who are looking to purchase a property for investment purposes rather than to live in themselves. These loans are typically used to purchase a property that will be rented out, with the rental income used to help repay the loan.
It’s important to carefully consider the costs and risks associated with investing in property and to do your research to find the right investment property loan for your needs. A financial advisor or mortgage broker may be able to provide guidance and advice to help you make informed decisions about your investment strategy.
