A common myth is that vehicle finance requires you to own your home. In practice, plenty of businesses secure finance without property. Overdrive works with 80+ lenders, including those who assess non-property owners.
Do you need property for vehicle finance?
Some lenders like to see property ownership as it can signal stability, but many do not treat it as essential. Non-property owners are financed regularly where other factors are sound, subject to lender criteria.
What else do lenders weigh?
Trading history, time under your ABN, credit profile and the vehicle itself all carry weight. A strong showing across these areas can more than make up for not owning property.
Does owning property affect your terms?
For some lenders, property ownership may influence the rate or the amount available. That is one reason comparing lenders matters, so you find the one whose approach suits your situation.
