Bluestone Home Loans

Bluestone Logo

Bluestone is a provider of home loans. It is a non-bank lender and says its home loans may suit PAYG borrowers, self-employed borrowers, borrowers with alternative income streams and borrowers who have had  difficulty getting finance from other lenders.

What types of home loans does Bluestone offer?

At the time of writing, Bluestone offers the following four home loan products:

  • Prime: designed for borrowers with a clear credit and strong employment history.
  • Near Prime: designed for people with a clear credit history who want more flexibility with their home loan product.
  • Specialist: designed for borrowers with some defaults or other credit impairments.
  • Specialist+: designed for borrowers who are recovering from financial difficulties and have been struggling to get finance because of this.

Each loan offers a full doc and alt doc option, which refers to the kind of documents you have to provide to prove your income. Bluestone says full doc loans are designed for those who are not self-employed or have recent tax returns available. Alt doc loans are designed for self-employed borrowers who don’t have their most recent tax returns available.

If you decide to apply for a Bluestone home loan, you can check if you pre-qualify for a loan through Bluestone’s website. This lets you see your individual indicative interest rate and get matched with a Bluestone personal loan consultant. It is not the same as pre-approval for a loan. Bluestone says it will ask you about the purpose of your home loan, the approximate value and location of the property and the size of your deposit or existing equity.

You can also complete a loan application form through the Bluestone website and contact Bluestone by phone or email.

To give you an idea of how making extra repayments could save you money in interest over the life of your loan, you might like to try our Extra Repayments Calculator.
