Frequently Asked Questions
For residential home loans, we don’t charge you any fees. We’re paid a commission by the lender after your loan settles. This is fully disclosed in our compliance documentation. This commission does not influence your interest rate or loan terms.
For commercial, business, or SMSF loans, a brokerage fee may apply depending on the complexity of the transaction. Any applicable fees are always discussed and agreed upon upfront, ensuring complete transparency.

Absolutely! At Veritas Financial, we specialise in helping clients who face challenges with traditional lenders or have had their loans declined. We work with a wide network of lenders, including major banks, second and third-tier lenders, and private funders. This allows us to explore creative solutions and match you with the most competitive product tailored to your unique circumstances.
Most lenders require at least 10-20% of the property’s purchase price as a deposit. However, some loans, like those for medical professionals, may allow deposits as low as 5% or even 0%. In many instances, a trusted family member can provide additional security to help support your application. In these instances, you may be able to borrow the full purchase price plus stamp duty.
The timeframe varies depending on the type of loan and lender. On many occasions, our team has obtained loan approvals within hours. However, most lenders typically require a few days to assess applications. For more complex loans, the process may take a few weeks. We always take into consideration any specific deadlines relevant to your situation.

Low-doc loans are designed for self-employed individuals or those with non-traditional income streams. They require less documentation than standard loans, but interest rates may be slightly higher.
Private loans are offered by private lenders rather than traditional banks. They are typically used for short-term needs, such as bridging finance, and may have more flexible terms but higher interest rates.
Business loans can fund various needs, including purchasing equipment, expanding operations, managing cash flow, or hiring staff.
