When Do Home Loan Funds Get Released?

Even though our loan application process is fast, it will take a little bit longer than the loan approval for the money to change hands.

If you’re buying and you know the exact property you want, the money will be paid to the seller once you have signed the contract and the settlement day arrives (usually 30 to 60 days from signing).

Or if you don’t have a property in mind, the money will be available to you for up to 60 days and if you find a home during this period, and make an offer, the loan amount will be paid to the seller on settlement day.
If you don’t find a home you want during the 60 days, you can contact us and ask for an extension on the loan.

In the case of refinancing, the money is transferred between loan providers (your current lender and Tiimely Home) on the settlement date, which is usually organised by conveyancers or solicitors. (While it’s not compulsory to use a conveyancer to refinance in Australia, some may feel more comfortable with extra support in complex refinance situations, such as title changes).
This is followed by the final settlement and payment process where the money is transferred.

When refinancing, the money is transferred on the settlement date between loan providers (your current lender and Tiimely Home). The settlement date is when both banks have everything they need to transfer the loan. This can take up to 3 weeks and is generally arranged between our solicitor/conveyancer and your current bank’s settlement department.

**The rates shown for products available from panel lenders via Tiimely Home brokers are current based on information from panel lenders and are subject to change without notice. The home loan with the lowest current interest rate is not necessarily the most suitable for your circumstances, you may not qualify for that particular product and the product may not include all the features relevant to you. All applications are subject to lender assessment and approval, and eligibility requirements and terms and conditions apply.

^Comparison rates are based on a loan amount of $150,000 over a 25-year term. They factor in fees associated with applying for the loan, ongoing fees and fees associated with leaving the loan. Tiimely Own fixed loans roll to a variable principal and interest rate at the end of the specified fixed term. If the interest only period is not specified, the comparison rate is calculated on a 5-year period.

WARNING: The comparison rates are true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
