Frequently asked questions

What documents do I need as self-employed?

For full-doc: 2 years personal + business tax returns, 2 years BAS, 6 months business bank statements. For alt-doc: 12 months BAS + accountant's letter.

My tax return shows low income but business turns over $400K. What lender works?

Specialist alt-doc lenders use BAS turnover or accountant's declaration instead of tax return. Several handle Bangladeshi business income well. We match.

How much deposit will I need?

Full-doc: 15-20%. Alt-doc/low-doc: 20-30%. Higher than PAYG but workable.

Are halal home loans available for self-employed Lakemba buyers?

Yes — Australian Islamic finance providers work with self-employed Bangladeshi business owners with proper documentation.

How long does the whole process take?

Self-employed applications typically take 4-8 weeks from submission to settlement. Documentation gathering can add 2-4 weeks before submission.
