What is Finder Score?
The Finder Score crunches 7,000 home loans across 120+ lenders. It takes into account the product's interest rate, fees and features, as well as the type of loan eg investor, variable, fixed rate - this gives you a simple score out of 10.
To provide a Score, we compare like-for-like loans. So if you're comparing the best home loans for cashback, you can see how each home loan stacks up against other home loans with the same borrower type, rate type and repayment type. We also take into consideration the amount of cashback offered when calculating the Score so you can tell if it's really worth it.

I am looking to purchase a home. I receive $26000 wage, $26000 benefits, and $20000 child maintenance. I have $80000 deposit. I have 3 children under 12. I pay $2100 monthly in rent but so far the few lenders I have spoken to won’t allow child maintenance to be considered as an income and state my serviceability isn’t sufficient.
Are you able to help? Looking to borrow between $420000-$450000.

Hi Vicki,
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I’m sorry to hear about your situation.
You need to find out first if you qualify for the necessary fund as lenders reject applications because you are applying for a bigger amount of money. You can use a home loan eligibility calculator to help you know how much you can really borrow.
Next, you may want to read our guide on the lending criteria for home loans. On this guide, you will know the approval policies banks have in place to determine if you qualify.
From here, you may then compare your home loan options. On that page, you will see a table that allows you to conveniently compare home loans based on the interest rate, application fee, and monthly payment, to name a few. Once you found the right one for you, click on the “Go to Site” green button to learn more or initiate your application.
Please make sure that you’ve read the relevant T&Cs or PDS of the loan products before making a decision. Moreover, check the eligibility requirements as well and consider whether the product is right for you. Alternatively, you can speak to a mortgage broker who can take your personal circumstance into account and offer you a range of borrowing options.
I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua

Hi Brenda,
Thanks for your question.
This decision is entirely up to you. If you feel as though your current bank is willing to give you the best deal (in comparison to the rest of the market), then you may want to stay with them. However, if another lender is willing to give you a better offer, then you may want to consider switching.
Our refinancing home loans guide can help you calculate your savings versus the costs of refinancing to determine whether it will make financial sense for you to do so.
I recommend getting in touch with a licensed mortgage broker. A broker can help you understand your financial position and they can leverage their panel of networks to find a lender that is more inclined to review your application.
Cheers,
Shirley

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
