What the score looks at

Five areas that shape your readiness

The score reviews five areas that commonly matter when preparing for a home loan. Your adviser looks at each one, and your report shows how you sit across all five.

The score is intended to help you understand your current level of preparation and identify topics worth discussing with an adviser.

01Deposit Position

Your savings and funding progress. Lenders look at how much you have saved and where the funds have come from.

02Income Position

Your household income stability. Lenders look at how regular and reliable your income is, not only how much it is.

03Budget Alignment

How your goals align with your current circumstances. This compares the home you have in mind with what your situation currently supports.

04Financial Habits

Your credit history and banking behaviour. Lenders review how you manage credit and everyday accounts.

05Purchase Readiness

Your timeline and level of preparation. This looks at how ready you are to move once the right property appears.
