This couple is keen to buy their first property, but have a few issues that could affect approval. Can you help?

According to their broker, they are husband and wife applicants who are looking to borrow $400,000 at 90% LVR.

The problem, however, is that – while the wife is a nurse who has been in permanent full time employment for more than two years – the husband only has a four-month permanent casual employment arrangement.

They have non-genuine savings and a clear credit reference.
