How to maximise your chances of approval for your car loan in Brisbane

The stability of your work will be a deciding factor in your loan application. Fewer workplace changes will make your application more attractive to lenders. Having a steady job not only demonstrates you have a regular income but also shows a lender you have the ability to take on new debt.

Addressing outstanding debts that are hampering your credit report will go a long way to improving your odds of approval. Paying off unpaid defaults or entering into payment arrangements will demonstrate to lenders you are working to correct past financial mistakes.

Lenders will want to see consistency in your rent and utility bills, so having a strong residential history will greatly improve your chances of approval. Being able to prove you have lived at one address for a good length of time, and not been in and out of different accommodation, will suggest stability in your life and expenses.

Be realistic about what you can afford. Do a rough estimate of your expenses and current liabilities and work out a loan size you can easily manage to repay. Opting to borrow a smaller amount will increase your chances of approval with lenders, who want to ensure new debt won’t cause you financial stress.

Submitting multiple loan applications, especially over a short period, will increase your risk profile with lenders. If your application has been rejected by other lenders, it may be worth taking steps to remedy some of the causes, such as paying off outstanding debts and reducing spending. If lenders see multiple rejections in quick succession, they’re less likely to approve your application.
