Home loan pre-approval, also called an approval-in-principle, means getting your home loan approved prior to selecting a property. It sounds straightforward but there are some facts you need to know to ensure you have the best start to your property purchase venture such as:

It’s actually better to get your loan sorted beforehand. You’ll know exactly how much you can afford to pay for a property. Once you find the right property, you’ll be able to focus on the purchase—rather than having to sort out the finance at the same time. You’ll have a better idea of what properties to look for, because you won’t waste time looking for something outside your price range. With a pre-approved loan, there are fewer chances of hiccups with the sale process. Sometimes, sellers will accept an offer below list price, because they have peace of mind that the property really is sold. The seller can take the property off the market with confidence knowing the buyer is serious. If you decide to make an offer you’ll be in a position to move quickly if your finances are sorted – this will help you avoid being gazumped.
