Requirements may vary slightly from lender to lender but the following list is fairly standard:
- Your driver’s licence

- Two consecutive pay slips showing YTD earnings OR
- A letter from your employer confirming your salary, your last Group Certificate and your last Tax Assessment Notice
- Or if self employed:
- Latest Tax Assessment Notice AND
- Personal Income Tax Returns for the last two years AND
- Tax returns and accounts for the last two years
If you are refinancing, the lender will want to gauge the value of your property and how much equity you have. They will probably want to see:
- A copy of all loan statements for the last 12 months AND
- Proof of ownerships e.g. a rates notice
If buying an investment property the lender will need to assess your rental opportunity. You’ll therefore need to include:
- A letter from a real estate agent confirming expected rental OR
- A copy of the current Lease Agreement OR
- Recent rental statements
