Credit Impaired Home Loans are used by people who do not have a good credit history and therefore do not meet the traditional lending criteria. These types of loans are also known as non-conforming loans or second chance loans. They are not usually offered by any of the traditional lenders.
For these types of loans the borrower would need have job stability and sufficient income to support the loan. In addition, a reasonable deposit of between 10% and 20% would be required.
Debts that a borrower has, may be able to be consolidated into the Credit Impaired Home Loan, thus reducing the overall interest payable, and thereby reducing the overall repayment amount. For example, if the credit card debt can be reduced from the higher interest rates normally charged on a credit card, down to a home loan interest rate. That would be a good thing, as it would help to reduce the repayments in dollar terms on the credit card part of the debt.
Furthermore, one could consolidate most of a borrower’s debts into a Credit Impaired Home Loan, and to pay out some of those debts that are in default, thereby enabling the borrower to work his or her way to a better credit rating……..and in time, to a traditional home loan with a lower interest rate.
Credit Impaired Home Loans can take into account a variety of different types of credit impairment, such as unpaid defaults and paid defaults. There can be a number of reasons why a person’s credit record has been tarnished. Sometimes a tarnished credit record may even be due to circumstances beyond their control, such as loss of a job, sickness, injury or divorce.
For these types of loans, interest rates are usually higher and will vary depending on the level of the credit impairment. In addition, the loan to value ratio (LVR) of the property will also vary depending on the level of impairment. In other words, the deposit that you will have to come up with and the interest rate you will have to pay will vary depending on how poor your credit history is. Generally speaking, the worse your credit record the more it will cost you.
After consistently making payments on time and re-establishing a good credit record, a borrower may be willing to provide and interest rate discount.
