What makes a VIC mortgage brief stronger

Strong Victoria mortgage briefs explain whether the property is in metro Melbourne or regional Victoria, whether the scenario is purchase or refinance, and whether the income story is straightforward or more complex.

1. State whether this is a purchase, refinance, or pre-approval request.
2. Include the property or borrower state and your preferred timing.
3. Mention anything material such as deposit position, lender review, or self-employed income.
4. Review contact details before you submit.

Common mortgage brokers briefs in Victoria

These are the mortgage situations that show up repeatedly across Melbourne and the rest of Victoria and benefit from more detail than a generic broker request.

Purchase

Melbourne and growth-corridor home purchases

Use this route when you need a broker to compare lender options for a first-home or next-home purchase in Melbourne or surrounding growth areas and you want borrowing capacity, deposit, and timing assessed together.

  • Deposit position and target budget
  • Search stage or contract timing
  • Any guarantor, family, or joint-borrower support
Explore

Refinance

Refinancing loans already held in Victoria

Use this when repayments have changed, a fixed term is ending, or you want to compare your current lender against other options for a Victorian owner-occupier or investment property.

  • Current lender and loan type
  • Repayment or cash-flow objective
  • Any valuation, equity, or servicing pressure
Explore

Regional move

Regional Victoria purchases and relocations

Use this route when the purchase is outside Melbourne and the broker needs clearer context on the location, transaction timing, and whether this is a move, upgrade, or investment decision.

  • Town or regional-centre location
  • Owner-occupier versus investment use
  • How soon you need approval or settlement support
Explore

Complex income

Contractor, self-employed, and mixed-income borrowers

Use this page when PAYG salary is not the whole story and the broker needs to understand contractor income, company income, commission, bonuses, or multiple borrowers before shortlisting lenders.

  • ABN, company, or contractor structure
  • Available tax returns, BAS, or accountant numbers
  • Any existing lender-policy issues
