Sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you've already seen.
If you've previously ruled out a client because of their visa status, where they wanted to buy, or the paperwork involved, it may be worth taking another look. Recent Connective Skip policy updates have expanded eligibility and simplified parts of the application process, potentially opening the door for more clients.
You asked, we delivered.
Connective Skip now considers certain applicants on bridging visas, giving eligible couples another pathway to home ownership. This could be particularly relevant for clients who were previously excluded from the scheme or those looking to upgrade their current home.
If you've got clients who have hit a roadblock because of one partner's visa status, now is a great time to revisit the conversation. Check the broker portal for the full list of eligible visas.
Property location can make or break an application. That's why Connective Skip has expanded eligible areas to include Bunbury, Townsville and Maitland.
Eligibility is also moving from postcode-based assessments to suburb-based criteria, giving you and your clients greater certainty when assessing properties.
Verification of Identity (VOI) has also been simplified. Clients now only need one form of photo identification, either a driver's licence or passport. It's a small change, but one that can help keep applications moving and reduce unnecessary follow-up.
If you have clients with the income to buy but limited deposit or equity, now is the perfect time to review their options. With loans available up to 98% LVR, competitive rates and fees that are always less than LMI, there may be opportunities that didn't exist when you first assessed them.
