Has your bank told you “NO, you can’t borrow that money? Don’t stress! Just because your bank said no, doesn’t mean there are no other options.
Every bank has different policies in place and every bank uses a different method to calculate how much you can borrow. Don’t lose too much sleep over it as there are always other options available to you. The reality is, each bank has a different risk profile at times and they may not fit your requirements right now.
Using our trusted network, we can connect you with experienced brokers who can find alternative lending solutions for the following scenarios and more.
Mainstream lenders (the big 4) love loan applicants who have been employed for a number of years in the same full-time, permanent job, with more than 20% deposit and perfect credit history. But not everybody fits this mould. Actually, most of us have much more complicated lives and financial situations than that. Fortunately, our trusted network of brokers have a range of lenders on their panel that consider individual circumstances, even if you don’t tick all the boxes of an ‘ideal’ borrower.
Perhaps you have a bad credit history or a self-employment or casual/contractor employment status. Or maybe you don’t have a genuine savings history but have received a financial gift from family or a redundancy payout. Plenty of deposit, but no history to show you can make future repayments.
If you feel like you fall into this category, then talk to Punters Finance as soon as you can. We have seen a scenario like yours many times over and feel very confident that we can connect you with the right finance professional to create a positive pathway forward. Just remember, making too many enquiries directly to one or multiple banks/lenders can negatively impact your credit score, so give us a call to get the right information as soon as you can.
Don’t forget, our desire is to match you up with your ‘broker for life’ – connecting you with that financial professional who can assist you to refinance through to a mainstream loan product with potentially lower interest rates when your circumstances change to fit these criteria. Through Punters Finance and our partners TSC Mortgage Brokers, we can offer a transition plan when it is possible, from specialist rates to prime rates (equals savings!).
TSC Mortgage Brokers is a partner company, specialising in mainstream lending. We are located in the same building and, using their experience and knowledge as brokers, have helped hundreds of customers achieve their borrowing goal.
Generally, we find that people who apply for specialist loans are:

Sometimes life can throw some curve balls which can result in missed payments, defaults and in some circumstances bankruptcy which can mark our credit history. Our trusted network of brokers have some lenders who are open to these scenarios, do not use credit scoring and will evaluate on individual circumstances. Once matched with the right broker for you, they will help you navigate through the process to obtain finance.
It is quite common for people to change jobs in order to grow or change their lifestyle, but some lenders are not open to new employment positions even with a signed contract. Our experienced brokers work with lenders who are open to these scenarios and will guide you through the process to be able to borrow as soon as possible.
Many of our clients are based overseas but own properties in Australia that need refinancing or who are looking to purchase new property. We can connect you with the ideal broker who is very well versed in the processes/restrictions of these scenarios and can guide you through each step of the process.
Being able to consolidate multiple debts and pay out any tax debt owing can be a huge relief and free up much needed cashflow for everyday living and even future purchases. This can reduce your payments by hundreds to thousands of dollars per month!
Have you found your new home but have not sold your old one yet? Whether you are upgrading or downgrading your home, a bridging loan can provide you with a solution that allows you to avoid the stress of having to sell your home first and finding temporary accommodation while searching for your next home.
For self-employed people who don’t have sufficient tax return financial statements available (generally 2 years), or are new businesses, our network of brokers have lenders on their panels that offer Low Doc loans that provide alternative ways that you can demonstrate income. This can include Business Activity Statements; bank statements; an accountant’s declaration or even a self-declaration. We will assess your financial position to identify the right broker for you, who can advise of ways to structure your application to obtain finance.
If you are an investor looking to build your investment portfolio, the development and subdivision of properties are another way to grow your wealth. However, as any developer or investor will know, when it comes to development and subdivision loans, securing loans from major banks can be difficult and therefore it is important to have a knowledgeable finance broker on your team. The beauty of Punters Finance’s trusted brokers network is that they have access to over 60 lenders, including non-bank lenders and private funders who specialise in development and subdivision loans.
Some lenders consider people working in the medical industry to be lower risk due to consistent and high-level income and offer to lend up to 95% without charging any mortgage insurance! This can save a big chunk of money when purchasing a property. Once we connect you with the right broker, they may also help you access exclusive packages and rates.
An SMSF (Self-Managed Super Fund) loan is a loan used to purchase a property as an investment to further grow a super fund for retirement. It can be used to purchase residential investment properties; commercial properties; office spaces; warehouses and more.
Some lenders can be quite restrictive when applicants are over a certain age, even if the applicant is in a good position for retirement. We have brokers in our trusted network who work with a few select lenders who will assess your scenario based on individual merits and with a bit of common sense. Punters Finance have connected clients with brokers who’ve helped clients purchase properties in their 60’s and 70’s, without issue.
Cash flow is vital for business survival. Small businesses, in particular, can be the hardest hit from external factors such as seasonal fluctuations, staffing costs, business downturn or equipment maintenance.
