Pre-Qualify for a Home Loan With Brisbane Home Loans
Our pre-qualification form is the easiest way to start your home loan in Brisbane. You enter a few figures about your income, spending and debts, with no paperwork to upload.
Then one of our brokers reviews your answers against the lending rules of more than 40 lenders. We call you to explain your likely borrowing range and what to do next.
What Is Home Loan Pre-Qualification?
Home loan pre-qualification is an early estimate of how much you could borrow, based on the details you share. It suits buyers who are still saving, researching suburbs or deciding when to buy.
We don't lodge a credit application at this stage. That matters, because each application for credit is noted on your credit report.
Pre-Qualification vs Pre-Approval: Which Do You Need?
Start here while you plan. When you're ready to inspect and make offers, we'll help you get pre-approved for a home loan.
What Our Pre-Qualify Form Asks
Property details
The price of the home you've found, or your best estimate
Your income
Salary, overtime, bonuses, rental income and government payments
Living costs
Monthly spending, plus private health, school fees and childcare
Current debts
Other home loans, investment loans, personal loans and car loans
Keep your latest payslip and banking app open while you fill it in. Lenders compare your spending with the Household Expenditure Measure, a benchmark of household living costs. Accurate figures give you a more reliable result.

Why Your Borrowing Power Can Differ From a Bank Calculator
A common frustration we hear: an online calculator shows one figure, then a bank offers less. Each lender treats income, living costs and debts in its own way.
Some lenders count only part of your overtime or bonus income. Many count your full credit card limit, even if you clear the balance each month. Banks also test your repayments at least 3 percentage points above your loan rate.
Who Should Pre-Qualify for a Home Loan?
- First home buyers checking if the 5% Deposit Scheme and its $1,000,000 Brisbane price cap could work for them
- Renters planning to buy in the next 6 to 12 months
- Homeowners weighing up an upgrade before they list
- Couples who want a clear number before they start saving

Home Loan Pre-Qualification FAQs
Does Pre-Qualifying Affect My Credit Score?
No. We don't run a credit check for pre-qualification, so nothing is added to your credit file.
Can I Make an Offer With a Pre-Qualification?
It's best to get pre-approved first. In Queensland, auction purchases have no cooling-off period, so you need a lender-backed limit before you bid.
How Accurate Is My Pre-Qualification Result?
It's a guide based on the figures you enter. Your borrowing power is confirmed at pre-approval, after the lender checks your documents and credit history.
I'm Self-Employed. Can I Still Pre-Qualify?
Yes. Use figures from your latest tax return, then we'll call to look at your business income in more detail.
