Why this causes declines
- Each lender has different policies for income, employment type and postcode exposure.
- Multiple rejections in a row can reduce your score and make approval harder.
Quick fix
- Match your profile to policy (LVR, casual/contract rules, genuine savings).
- Use a broker’s lender matrix to target fit before applying.
