Low Doc Loans

Self-employed, contract or business income that doesn't fit a standard payslip? Low doc lending assesses your income differently — often with less paperwork.

If you're self-employed, a contractor, or your income fluctuates, a mainstream lender's requirement for two years of tax returns and full financials can be a genuine obstacle. Low doc lending exists precisely for that situation: it verifies your income through alternative evidence rather than a traditional payslip.

What the lender accepts varies. Some want an accountant's letter, some a business activity statement, and some simply a declared income with a borrower declaration. What matters is matching your particular documentation to a lender who will actually accept it.

Because low doc loans carry more risk for the lender, rates and LVR limits are typically tighter than a full doc loan. We'll tell you honestly whether low doc is your best path or whether there's a cheaper option you qualify for.
