What Working with a Perth Car Finance Broker Is Really Like: From Enquiry to Approval

Here's what it's really like to work with a Perth car finance broker, from your first enquiry to final loan approval.

1. The Initial Enquiry

Your journey begins with a simple enquiry. Whether you reach out via our website, phone call, or by visiting our Perth office, we start by understanding your needs. Are you looking for a new or used car? Is it for personal or business use? We listen closely to your goals, financial background, and preferences so we can tailor the right finance solution for you.

2. Document Gathering & Pre-Assessment

Next, we guide you through gathering the necessary documentation. Typically, this includes proof of ID, recent payslips, bank statements, and any existing liabilities. Our team uses this information to conduct a pre-assessment and determine what loan options you may qualify for. Unlike banks, we don’t just look at numbers-we understand your story.

3. Comparing Car Loan Options

One of the biggest advantages of working with a broker is access to a broad range of lenders. At Hanna Lending, we work with multiple lenders across Perth and Australia to find competitive interest rates and flexible terms that suit your budget and goals. We compare loan features, fees, and repayment options to present you with a shortlist of top contenders.

4. Loan Proposal & Vehicle Appraisal

Once we find the right loan product, we prepare a personalised proposal that outlines key details such as interest rates, repayment schedule, and any conditions. If you’re buying a used car, we also help with the vehicle appraisal process to ensure the price is fair and acceptable to the lender.

5. Formal Loan Application

When you're happy with the proposal, we submit a formal loan application on your behalf. This includes all your documentation and our broker notes to help the lender understand your situation. We manage all communication with the lender to ensure the process stays on track and stress-free.

6. Conditional Approval & Addressing Lender Requirements

After submission, you may receive a conditional approval-meaning the lender agrees in principle to provide the loan pending certain conditions. These might include verifying your insurance, confirming employment, or additional ID checks. We help you meet these conditions quickly to avoid delays.

7. Final Approval & Settlement

Once all conditions are met, you receive formal approval and settlement begins. The lender transfers funds to the dealer or private seller, and you’re officially good to go. We coordinate everything behind the scenes to make sure the transaction is seamless.

8. Post-Settlement Support

Even after your loan settles, we’re here for you. Whether you need help understanding your repayments, want to refinance down the track, or plan to upgrade your car in the future, Hanna Lending remains your trusted finance partner.
