Access to the right home loan shouldn't cost you

Our Tiimely Home Brokers can work with you to explore other options, including a Tiimely Own home loan, and you won’t be charged a fee for their service.

We pay our Brokers a salary to work for you which means they are not motivated to stretch your budget or use a particular lender. However, depending on which home loan product you choose, there may be associated lender fees which your broker will disclose before applying.

How Quickly Can You Get a Home Loan Approved?

We’re known for our fast approval times, with our online application taking about 15 minutes to complete. However, the time to approval depends on the complexity of your application and the number of applications we're processing at the time.

Our fastest fully approval - from the time the application was submitted (including assessment, verification, and running all our digital checks) is 58 minutes however, approval times depend on individual circumstances.

Once you’ve completed the application process, you’ll either be approved, politely declined, or referred to one of our home loan experts to fill in any blanks or to get more information to enable your application to be assessed.

We’ll also let you know if we’re experiencing any delays and once we pick up your application for assessment, we immediately start working towards approval. The quicker you’re able to respond to any requests from our Credit Assessors, the quicker we’ll be able to fully assess your application.

Our application is entirely online.

We believe in removing the complication associated with getting a home loan and reimagined home loans from the ground up, simplifying the process and making it more efficient and easier to understand.

If you're approved, you'll get an email from us detailing the next steps, along with your home loan contract. You’ll also get a settlement pack which will outline further steps.

What may delay my home loan approval?

Sometimes delays occur if we need more information. Opting to validate your financials manually instead of securely linking your accounts slows the process down significantly, and one of our Credit Assessors will need to assist. Submitting an incomplete application or providing inaccurate estimates of your expenses (or any information regarding your income, expenses and debts) also requires manual work from our Credit Assessors, so make sure you’re really ready before you apply.

Due to our competitive rates, we often receive large volumes of applications, and it takes us a little longer than usual to assess and approve your application. When this happens, we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as possible. We work hard to keep up with demand and are continually growing our team to ensure we maintain our fast approval times.

If your application is time-sensitive or if there is a deadline you’re trying to meet, please speak with our team to get an understanding of our current approval times. You can chat with us over or on 1300 842 405.

What happens if my application needs to be reviewed by a Credit Assessor?

If we need more information, we’ll refer your application to one of our Credit Assessors who’ll help you complete your application. Our Credit Assessment team move fast, and if you’re proactive in responding to their requests, they’ll be able to process your application quickly.

Sometimes they’ll only need one or two things like updated payslips or a bank account statement. Everyone’s situation is unique, so if your specific application is more complex than most, you might be asked to provide more detail. If you’ve chosen to validate your financials manually, this typically requires more information and your application will take longer to assess, however if you choose digital validation, our team receive the exact same information, but much faster.

What's Right For Me - A Tiimely Own Home Loan or Broker?

Tiimely Own is the smart choice for a low-rate loan with fast approval, but it’s not for everyone. Our brokers support complex situations and loan features such as split loans, guarantor loans, and construction loans.

Tiimely Own

Your Tiimely Own home home loan is funded by Bendigo and Adelaide Bank​. You must meet the Tiimely Own home loan eligibility criteria, which includes postcode and property eligibility (i.e. capital, metropolitan and major regional only for owner-occupied and investment purposes), and be borrowing up to 90% (for customers who have less than 20% deposit, you’ll need LMI).

Our Tiimely Home brokers

Your loan will be funded by one of our 30+ panel lenders​. This may allow you to unlock additional loan features that better suit your financial situation (i.e. split loan facilities, guarantor loans, land and construction).​ You can borrow up to 98% (including LMI, which usually applies for customers who have less than 20% deposit) and depending on your loan amount, there may be more flexibility.

What remains the same across both?​

Regardless of which lender provides your home loan, you’ll have access to the same superior service we’re famous for.​

**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.
