We give you the flexibility to apply for a home loan on your terms; with Alt Doc application options starting with just six months’ business documentation  (plus other eligibility criteria). This means you may not have to wait for your business to mature before you decide to apply for a home loan.

Alt Doc applications considered

What is an Alt Doc Home Loan?

Alternative documentation (or Alt Doc) is a way to apply for a home loan with non-standard income documentation. This can make it easier for those who don’t work 9-5 or haven’t been operating their own business for an extended period, to apply for a home loan. Alt Doc home loan applications still go through our full credit assessment criteria and responsible lending checks, however the documentation we ask for caters to a wider variety of financial circumstances.

Alt Doc loans could be a solution for New Zealand’s army of self-employed small business owners who may not tick the usual loan application boxes or have the extensive NZBN history and paperwork required by some mainstream lenders.  

Any loan applications are subject to the Link Home Loan team completing responsible lending checks and considering your/every customers individual circumstances.
