Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the entire process take?

From application to approval is typically 5-10 business days. Settlement (once you've found a property) takes another 5-10 business days, which is standard in Australia.

What if I don't have all documents ready?

Let us know during the application. We'll tell you what's essential and help you gather the rest. Most documents can be provided digitally.

Can I apply online?

Yes! You can start your application at yusrafy.com.au anytime. You can also call or email us for guidance.

Will you do a hard credit check?

Yes, we conduct a credit check as part of the assessment. This may temporarily lower your credit score by a few points (normal and temporary).

What if my credit isn't perfect?

We assess holistically. Past credit issues don't automatically disqualify you. We focus on your current situation and ability to repay.

Can I apply if I'm self-employed?

Absolutely! We work with self-employed professionals. You'll just need 2+ years of tax returns and business financials.

What if my application is rejected?

We'll explain why in detail and discuss options, which may include: reapplying in the future, improving specific areas, or exploring alternative structures.

Is there any obligation to proceed?

No. The pre-qualification and application are entirely non-binding. You can withdraw at any time.
