Applying for a loan

To apply for a home loan online, we will need to get some details about you and your financial situation. Before we get underway, there are some quick questions we need to ask to find out if you'll qualify for a Keystart home loan.

Application stages

  1. Pre-qualification

    Find out if you qualify.

    This step will take about 5 minutes. Click on the button at the bottom of this page to get started.

  2. Apply for a loan

    If you qualify (yay!), you can go on and apply for a loan online. We'll need some more detailed information from you.

    This step will take between 20-30 minutes.

  3. Find your home

    We'll review your application and let you know if you have pre-approval. You'll find out your pre-approval amount and any conditions you need to meet.

    Remember you can look at buying an established home or building a new home. Your choice. But wait for pre-approval so you know your budget before you make an offer!

  4. Finalise your application

    We'll let you know what you need to do to get full loan approval. Once this is done, your loan is formally approved and you're on your way to home ownership.
