What can it be used for?

What does it cost?
Provider interest and charges
Check whether the rate is annual or monthly, flat or reducing-balance, and whether repayments include principal. EIR, where published, is separate from the advertised rate. Allow for processing, upfront, annual, legal, valuation and early-settlement charges where applicable.
Loura service fee
Separate from provider charges; no fee is assumed in the estimate. Your adviser confirms whether a Loura fee applies and its amount before you decide to proceed. All provider charges must be confirmed in the offer.

Frequently asked questions
Why is it harder for self-employed people?
Providers often average your declared income over two years using your Notices of Assessment. This can make your assessed income lower than your actual recent earnings.
What can I do to improve my chances?
File your taxes on time, keep business and personal bank accounts separate, and keep clear records of your income and expenses.
Can I use bank statements instead of tax records?
Some providers accept bank statements as supporting evidence, but most still want your Notices of Assessment. Requirements vary by provider.
Do I need documents to enquire?
No. You can enquire without sending any documents. If you decide to go ahead, your adviser will tell you exactly which documents the provider needs, such as bank statements or financial statements.
What happens after I enquire?
A Loura adviser will contact you, usually by phone or WhatsApp, to understand what you need. We explain the options that may suit you, the likely costs and any Loura service fee. Nothing is sent to a provider without your instruction.
