Temp and Agency Worker Home Loan

• An agency worker is classified as someone who is hired on a temporary basis, through a recruitment agency.
• Although they are employed through a recruitment agency, they are usually contracted to specific hours of work.
• The individual is not directly paid by the employer they are working for; both rather the employer pays the recruitment agency who will pay the individual the agreed upon wage.
• This practice is generally common in; IT, hospitality and even healthcare.

• A temporary worker is someone who isn’t committed to permanently working in a role and is only there on a temporary basis. An example of this is working as an assistant for a short period of time, whilst the current worker is on maternity leave.
• Temporary workers usually fall within the following types of employment; contractors, freelancers, casual and seasonal staff.
• Due to the wide scope, there are temporary workers found in a variety of fields.

There are a number of things that banks consider when deciding whether to approve you for a loan:

• You will need at least 12 month worth of employment history in your current role; we work with a select few lenders who will consider your loan even if you don’t this history, so long as you have an income that is set and stable.
• You will need to prove that your employment is ongoing.
• You will need to ensure that you have at least a 10% deposit towards the property value of your home (depending on your length of employment, we can help you secure a loan with only a 5% deposit).
• You will need to show that you have an employment history of some kind, so that banks will have confidence in your ability to continue paying your loan.
