Kylie & Brad needed funds for a deposit to upsize their family home.
Kylie & Brad needed funds for a deposit to upsize their family home.

Kylie & Brad needed funds for a deposit to upsize their family home.

Let's say Kylie and Brad were in need of a larger family home as their family was growing. Kylie came across a property in a nearby suburb that she fell in love with. Unfortunately, the property was going to auction in 2 weeks and their cash was tied up in the sale of their flat, so they couldn't access their funds until settlement, which was 110 days away.

A friend of Kylie's suggested they try CampaignAgent and recommended DepositNow. Kylie applied for a DepositNow loan and was approved on the same day. The funds were transferred into their bank account the following day, allowing her to hire a solicitor to review the sale contract and attend the auction.

Frequently asked questions

What is the credit check process?

In most cases, CampaignAgent does not undertake a credit check as part of your application for a DepositNow loan.

What documentation do I need to apply?

You will need your contract of sale, proof of the size of your mortgage and a copy of your passport or driver’s licence as proof of your identity.

How is the loan secured?

A DepositNow loan is secured through a caveatable interest in the property being sold. This results in a notice being lodged on the title of the property confirming CampaignAgent’s interest in the property. This notice is withdrawn when the DepositNow loan is repaid as part of the property settlement process.

Is this loan the only way I can access any funds from my property sale before settlement?

No. Depending on your state, you can request an early deposit release (known as Section 27 in Victoria). This can take up to 28 days, however.

The information provided by CampaignAgent should be treated as a guide and not an indication of pre-qualification for any loan.
