Home Buyer- Previous Credit Issues
Good news — based on the information you provided, you’ve been assessed as having Previous Credit Issues or Paid Defaults.
While this profile is different from traditional lending categories, we work with a range of specialist lenders who support applicants in your situation.
This means you may still access suitable loan options with fair assessment processes, flexible terms, and pathways designed to help you move forward.
Below is a guide to what you may qualify for.
Customers in this category generally see:

1 - 7 Years
12.99%* p.a
Same-Day Approvals*
Dealer and Private Sales
Secured Loans (Security held against the asset)
Note: These figures are indicative only and depend on lender assessment, loan amount, asset type, and verification documents.
You still have access to lenders who specifically work with applicants who have past credit issues or paid defaults, giving you viable options to move forward.
Specialist lenders often provide adaptable loan structures designed to support applicants rebuilding their credit profile.
While past issues can affect lending, your current situation and supporting documents can help strengthen your application and improve approval confidence.
Having a pre-approval in place shows sellers you’re committed and ready, which can still support your negotiating position with private sellers or dealerships.
