    Exceptional customer service provided by Nick Freney in assisting us to navigate three separate loans. Wouldn’t hesitate in strongly recommending him to other prospect customers.

    We have been with Reduce Home Loans since 2015 and they've consistently secured the best rates and account features for us. This month we refinanced to a very competitive rate thanks to our Personal Finance Manager Connor.Connor provided us with helpful guidance and thoroughly answered all our questions. Everything was completed promptly and he was so responsive with our queries. The application process has also become much more streamlined and user friendly over the years.Thanks to Connor (and previously Rhyse) at Reduce Home Loans, we've been able to achieve our dream of having a home for our family. We highly recommend them for their personalised, exceptional service and expertise, as well as their broad product offering. Thanks again!

    I have used Reduce Home Loans recently. I have dealt with Vaughan from Reduce Home Loans. I find Vaughan very helpful and easy to approach. I think they have great knowledge and great interest rates options and cash back offers. I will recommend to seek their advice for new home loans. Thanks, Dev

    Vaughan Enright has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. He is always extremely responsive and helpful, listens to my needs, and has been working with me to get the best he can. He has been reliable, getting back to me quickly, calling when he says he will (great timekeeper). Very happy with the experience as I initially called 3 or 4 months ago, he has been very informative from tyre kicking/semi serious stage to now at crunch time. Definitely recommend working with him.

    I have used Reduce Home loans several times to refinance our loan. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are extremely knowledgeable and have access to highly competetive interest rates. Their communication throughout the loan application process is excellent and it is very easy to get in touch with them when you need to. Definitely use Reduce!

    We have been working with Reduce Home Loans for a few years now. We have done some refinancing of home loans and have applied for new home loans with Reduce Home Loans. Each and every time we managed to get some awesome deals, lowest variable rates available on the market. I highly recommend Reduce Home Loans. We will definitely use them again in future!!

    Nick Freney, from reduced home loans, was fantastic. He made the whole process of refinancing my house loan, hassle free and also got me a great interest rate. I can't recommend Nick and his team highly enough.

    Overall, we are happy with our experience at Reduce. We moved from another non-bank lender, who wouldn't move our rate, despite their new owner rates being much lower, and our loans under what we originally borrowed. Nick and the team from Reduce were very easy to deal with, and our rate has been competitive since we started with them.

    I had a fantastic experience dealing with Reduce Home Loans who provided finance for my SMSF to purchase an investment property in July 22. I was particularly impressed with Bryce Stimpson's helpfulness, knowledge, responsiveness, professionalism and pleasantness. I received an excellent rate and am happy I went with Reduce.

    Using reduce loans has saved me a lot of money on our home loan. The staff are professional and caring, always easy to get in contact with and there to help with any questions you. The switch from one of the big 4 banks (wont name names of who was ripping us off!) was easy with reduce loans. I highly recommend anyone to get in contact and see how many money they can save you.

    Reduce Loans were able to find us a much better home loan rate. The process was so easy and we were walked through every step. Everything was done online and the whole process was handled quickly. I would highly recommend working with Reduce Loans.

    We secured a great loan with Reduce far below market rates of the large lenders. Was particularly impressed by their flexible banking style in setting up the loan and Nick Freeney was great to work with in the loan application. The only issue is the application process was longer and more admin intensive than some other loans so removing one star - but if you stick with it you can save a bunch over the life of the loan.

    Loan application form

    4. Easily send and receive all your documents with your own personal portal

    Reduce Loans strives to remain as transparent and helpful throughout the entire process of applying for a loan as possible. We provide a digital platform that is easy to navigate and use, plus our support and advice services are available at all times. 

    Once you submit your application form, our Personal Finance Manager will review that paperwork with Credit Approval Officers to get you Conditionally Approved. If any additional details are required, your Personal Finance Manager will contact you straight away.

     This level of customer service makes Reduce Loans stand out from the average loan providers. We put in the extra effort to ensure our customers are in the know about the current status of their loan applications. 

    What documents will I need for my home loan application?

    Typically, documents required to secure a home loan include: 

    • Identification
    • Payslips and proof of sustainable income
    • A list of assets and liabilities
    • Other documentation may be needed, depending on your personal circumstances. Your Personal Finance Manager will confirm all documentation needed for your application.

    5. Conditional Approval – You’re almost there!

    Congratulations on taking the first step towards achieving home loan approval! 

    With your Conditional Approval, Reduce Loans has given you an insight into how much they’re willing to lend. From the documentation submitted, they’ve established that you’re capable of servicing the loan amount once it settles. 

    To achieve Formal Approval, there may be further information that Reduce Loans needs to receive from you. Your friendly Personal Finance Manager will be in contact with any required documents and is always available for any questions you may have, as well as organising a valuation for your new home. 

    Reduce Loan’s efficient process can give you peace of mind knowing your application is in safe hands!

    6. We’ll arrange the valuation of your home

    After you have received your Conditional Approval, a valuation company representative will get in touch with you to accurately price your home. 

    Rather than settling for data from real estate websites, the valuation representative from our team will inspect the property and provide the lender, your Personal Finance Manager and yourself with a clearer and more accurate picture of its true worth.

    Things to consider when applying

    7. Congratulations! Your loan has been Formally Approved

    Receiving Formal Approval for your loan application is a huge accomplishment and something to be celebrated! 

    This seal of approval from the funder means that your property purchase has been accepted as an acceptable security for the amount and terms you requested. 

    Now, all that remains is to provide your Personal Finance Manager with purchase documents from the Real Estate and agree on a settlement date. 

    Different lenders have varying waiting periods between Formal Approval and Settlement; however, generally loans settle within 6-12 weeks so you’ll soon have access to your funds. Congratulations on this momentous occasion!

    8. Settlement date – Get the keys to your new home today!

    Your Settlement date marks the end of Reduce Loans’ process and the start of an exciting new chapter for you. 

    All involved parties sign off on the purchase or property transfer documents, allowing you to receive your loan funds and finally get the keys to your new home. 

    If this settlement represents a refinancing, be prepared to enjoy all of the benefits of a reduced rate, like increased savings and added financial freedom. 

    We are happy you chose Reduce Loans to make this transition easy and stress-free for you.

    Enjoy your new home!
