What is loanScore?

loanScore is a simple way of seeing if the home loan you have at the moment is a good deal or not. We want you to know whether you are getting a good deal based on your circumstances such as the value of your property, the preferences you have for your loan and other home loans currently available.

Using the information you give us, we calculate a score based on how the loan you have compares with loans from 30 lenders. We then give you a score out of 100 to indicate how good your current loan is. The higher the score, the better the deal.

loanScore does not necessarily tell you whether you would be approved for loans with a higher score. Calculating a loanScore does not assess your credit record for example. Each lender has its own lending criteria, so it is possible that loans with a higher score would not be available to you if, for example, you have a poor credit history.

On average, UNO loanScore subscribers could be saving over $17,000 by changing lenders with a better rate.

How do I use my loanScore?

loanScore helps you understand how close your loan is to the best deal available to you. The higher the score, the better the deal.

Once you know your loanScore, we can help you optimise your situation to save you money.

How is my loanScore calculated?

Your loanScore can change based on variables such as the interest rate, other loans available to you in the market and your personal circumstances, i.e. your borrower profile. Your loanScore is a point-in-time statement and should not be regarded as any kind of representation as to your future loanScore.

What does my loanScore mean?

The loanScore you receive is just a number. It’s designed to give you a quick and easy view of whether you have a home loan that compares well to the home loans available to you in the market at that point in time. UNO has designed a unique calculation to determine your loanScore at a given point in time.

Alongside your loanScore, you will see how much we think it might be possible to save by taking action to improve your home loan. This could be through talking to your existing lender, moving to another lender or by simply making some changes to the way you pay off your loan.

Why did my loanScore change?

Your loanScore can change for a number of reasons. Here are a few common ones:

  • Lenders change interest rates on various products regularly and introduce new lending products from time to time that you may be eligible for.
  • You changed the preferences for your loan. For example, if you choose to just compare against loans from the Big 4 banks, your loanScore might be different from when you compare with loans from all 30 lenders on our panel.
  • The value of your property changed. House prices rise and fall and the service we use to value your property will change the estimated value over time. The loans available to you will change depending on the loan size you are looking to borrow compared to the value of your property. Typically, the higher the percentage of your property value you are looking to borrow, the higher the interest rate you will be charged by your lender. So, if over time your house price goes up and the percentage you are borrowing falls, you might be able to get access to a better rate on your home loan.
  • If the way you use your property changes – lenders offer different rates for owner occupied properties than they do for investment properties. So, if you change the use of your property, the range of loans available to you will change.

After owning my property for a few years undertaking substantial house renovations I found myself in a situation where I had run out of cash to finish due to rising building costs at the time. I wanted to refinance to free up equity from my home to ultimately finish my house renovations and give me an extra cash buffer. I honestly thought it would be out of reach for me and the sole home owner and was going to be pretty much impossible. However, Mike Parsons from Uno Home Loans found a way to make it happen. He was incredibly thorough and really took the time to explore every option instead of just going with the obvious ones, which made a huge difference to me in the end. Not only that, he also kept me in the loop the whole way through— always checking in, explaining things clearly, what the next steps would and generally made the whole process feel way less stressful than I expected. Thanks to Mike, I was able to free up equity when I didn’t think it was on the cards at all. This has since allowed me to complete some more home improvements which is not only a great feeling but has added more value to my home and my living situation in general. On top of that it has also provided me the extra comfort of having additional cash to support rising monthly living costs. If you want someone who genuinely cares and will go the extra mile to get you a result, then Mike Parsons is your man! I cannot recommend him enough!

Complex self-employed deal done incredibly fast. I’m a commercial finance broker myself and have dealt with a lot of brokers. Scott is easily the best I’ve come across. My situation involved multiple businesses and low documentation, which is usually where things get messy, slow, and dragged out. Scott handled it seamlessly. He knew exactly how to structure everything from the start and was clear on what would be needed at each stage, which meant no unnecessary back and forth with the lender. The whole process was smooth, efficient, and far quicker than I expected given the complexity. If you’re self-employed and want someone who actually understands how to get these deals approved without the usual headaches, I’d strongly recommend reaching out to him.

I have no words for how incredible Nathalie was. She kept me updated every step of the way and worked as hard as anyone could to get me the loan required for my settlement even though my financial record wasn't great. She got the loan sorted incredibly fast, and to be honest, is an absolute angel. I would recommend her hands down to absolutely everyone.

I wish the 5 star rating was out of 100 because I would’ve given it 100/100 star rating. My husband and I have been clients of Jess for a good 3 years now and Jess has been the absolute best to us. She is so reliable, patient, knowledgeable, approachable and beautiful - the list goes on! She exceeds expectations. She has been through the ups and downs and has helped navigate throughout the way. Most importantly as this is our first home, she has educated us on so much that happens in the buying market. I 10000000% recommend her to be your broker. She is like no other. So thank you Jess for everything you have done for Mitchell and I, you don’t realise how much we appreciate everything you have strived for us.

I highly recommend Mike Parsons from Uno Home Loans. He is a clear, patient communicator who made the complex loan application and settlement process easy to understand. Mike is very thorough and reassuringly meticulous with documentation. He was generous with his time, always prompt with answers, and handled multiple applications and extensions for us seamlessly, while giving useful advice on loan options along the way, even if it meant more work for him. Most importantly, Mike secured us a great loan when other brokers couldn't. I’ve already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. The best broker I have used out of the several i have interacted with.

We can’t recommend Paul highly enough. He truly went above and beyond for us and made what could have been a stressful process feel simple and manageable. Paul’s communication was clear and honest from the start. He was straight up about everything, provided us with a clear list of what we needed to supply, and then took care of the rest. He was transparent throughout the entire process and always took the time to answer our questions — no matter how big or small. As first-home buyers purchasing in a new country, we were nervous going in, but Paul made the whole experience easy and reassuring. We felt supported every step of the way and genuinely appreciated his professionalism and guidance. Very appreciative of everything Paul did for us — we couldn’t have done it without him.
