🏡 Buying a Home “Subject to Finance” Why It Matters
When you’re purchasing property, including a “subject to finance” clause in your contract can be one of the smartest moves you make, especially from a home loan perspective.
✅ What does “Subject to Finance” help with?
• Protects your deposit If your loan isn’t approved, you can exit the contract without losing your deposit.
• Gives you time to secure your loan
Allows your broker/lender to complete full assessment, valuation, and approval.
• Reduces financial risk
Avoids being locked into a purchase you can’t fund.
• Covers valuation issues
If the bank values the property lower than the purchase price, you have an exit option.
• Supports complex scenarios
Helpful if your income, employment, or financial situation needs further assessment.
• Peace of mind during the process
You can confidently move forward while your finance is being finalised.
⏳ How long does “Subject to Finance” take?
Typically, a subject to finance period lasts 7 to 14 days, but it can vary depending on the contract and lender.
💡 Pre-approval is still important!
Even if you have pre-approval, it’s always better to secure one before making an offer but regardless, always include a subject to finance clause for added protection.
