Asking how long it takes to get a #loanapproved is like asking when this hot weather in Sydney will end. Every #application is unique, so the time between your first contact with your bank or broker and approval can never be predetermined. There are, however, some things you can do to help hurry your application along.
Although very rare, same-day loan approvals are possible depending on the lender’s criteria, the complexity of the deal and turnaround time.
In my experience, same-day loan approvals have been possible when your lending position is fairly straightforward in terms of employment, asset and liability position. If a valuation wasn’t required due to a low LVR and both parties were happy with the contract price, this can also speed up the process.

If you’re not prepared, it could take up to a month. The most common reason for a delay is a lender’s turnaround time to assessment, especially when some lenders have competitive offerings and experience larger application volumes, but a lack of preparation can cause this delay to snowball.
When there are such delays and then a lender must organise a valuation or request further information, this can lead to a lengthy process time.
A good finance broker will help you take all the necessary steps to ensure fast home loan approval, but there are simple ways you can help hurry the process along before your first meeting with your broker.
My advice is to listen to a quality broker who is pro-active and leads the process with great communication!
Disclose all information
To avoid back and forth requests, which can delay your application, ensure your lender has a thorough understanding of you as an applicant including appropriate identification of all borrowers.
Provide all the supporting and necessary documents upfront to your broker, and convey as much detail as possible in relation to your requirements and objectives and have good, current information on your financial position. The broker will need to not only have your full financial details but will also need to take reasonable steps to verify it.
Skip the valuation queue
Not all applications require a valuation, depending on the property and lending institution, and forgoing this step can save a considerable amount of time. You can also save time by having a valuation completed prior to your application, as long as it’s accepted by your chosen lender – but check with your broker first.
