Bad Credit Property Loan
Having bad credit doesn’t mean your dream of owning property has to be put on hold. At Realloans Australia, we specialise in helping people who’ve been knocked back by traditional banks. Whether your credit file shows late payments, defaults, court judgements, or even bankruptcy, we help you access property finance options tailored to your current situation, not your past mistakes.
We believe everyone deserves a second chance. And with the right guidance, your path to property ownership or investment is still very much alive.

Loan Requirements
While bad credit loans are more flexible than standard home loans, there are still some basic requirements. Here’s what you’ll generally need:
- Proof of income – This could include payslips, tax returns, BAS statements, or rental income.
- Identification documents – Driver’s licence, passport, or other valid ID
- Credit file – Lenders need to assess the current status of your credit history
- Asset details – Property value or equity if refinancing
- Deposit or equity – Usually 10–20% of the property’s value
If you don’t have all of these, don’t panic. At Real Loans Australia, we assess your whole picture, not just your paperwork.
Loan Features
Bad credit property loans come with features that support borrowers who need flexibility:
- Borrow up to 80% of property value (depending on credit and security)
- Options for interest-only or principal + interest repayments
- Loan terms from 1 to 30 years
- Available for residential, commercial, or investment properties
- Access to non-bank and private lenders who specialise in bad credit
- Potential to refinance or consolidate debt
Our job is to help you find the best possible structure and terms for your situation, even if your credit score is less than ideal.
What Is a Bad Credit Property Loan?
A bad credit property loan is a loan product designed for individuals who have a poor credit history but still want to buy or refinance a property. Big banks do not typically offer these loans; instead, they are offered by specialist or private lenders who assess borrowers differently.
Instead of focusing solely on your credit score, these lenders look at:
- Your current income
- Available equity or deposit
- The value and location of the property
- Your overall repayment ability
It’s about where you are now, not where you’ve been. And with the right structure, a bad credit loan can also help you rebuild your credit over time.
How Do I Apply?
Applying for a bad credit loan through Real Loans Australia is straightforward and hassle-free:

How Much Can I Borrow?
How much you can borrow depends on your income, liabilities, and the property value. In most cases:
- Borrowers can access up to 80% of the property value (LVR)
- You may be able to borrow more if you have additional security or private lending access.
- Your borrowing capacity can be calculated based on current income and loan affordability, not just credit score.
