Investor Home Loans: how we’re making business with us easier for you and your customers

We get it, home loans can be hard work. From finding the right product for your investor customers to the i-dotting and t-crossing paperwork that needs to be done, it’s a lot of jumping through hoops. Luckily it doesn’t have to be that way.

We’re making investment home loans easier,  We’ve taken a look at our processes and policies, harnessed the power of going digital and designed attractive and competitive home loan offerings to appeal to the investor market.

It’s all about making it easier for you to move through the application and approval process.

A loan made for the market

We think good business is about giving the people what they want. And when it comes to investment home loans, that means lower costs, flexibility and all the features.

With our Virgin Money investor Reward Me Home Loan we offer:

• competitive fixed and variable rates
• a handy $3,000 cashback^* for investors that refinance with us
• offset and redraw facilities on all variable and 1 year fixed rate loans
• Unlimited repayments on all variable loans and up to $10,000 of additional repayments on fixed products each year, helping investors make hay when the sun shines.

There’s also no mandated annual package fees or credit cards, because nobody should be forced to take what they don’t want.

A better deal for better business

We’ve designed product that appeals to the market at every stage of their investment journey. So with a Virgin Money Home Loan investors get:

A simpler approach for better and faster results

We’ve taken a look at our  Home Lending policy and made enhancements that make life easier for everyone. It’s a commonsense approach, including:

• reduced living expenses validation requirements ­– we require just a 1 month transactional statement for PAYG and no LMI applications
• clear and precise risk settings on investment income acceptance ­– we calculate borrowing power based on 80% for standard residential investment properties rental income (or 70% shading only)
• a loan checklist for validating existing facilities, expenses and investment costs to remove common roadblocks and get quicker application assessments
• reducing more information required to 1 cohesive document.
