Abnormal expenses right before home loan application?

My income is $5k a month.
My monthly expenses are usually $1.5k - $2k however due to some once off purchases April saw my expenses about $5k - $6k.

I was able to get a lump sum of money which means I can potentially apply for a loan now and buy before prices get even higher. However worried that application might get rejected due to very high expenses for the last month.

Should I just wait till August when the bank would only look at the previous 3 months (is this true btw?) and more indicative of my average monthly expenses?

Thankyou all

 

If they are once of expenses and your banker/broker make commentary on it, then it should be fine.

 

Some of the purchases were also refunded for example we bought a washing machine and returned it a few weeks later. Wonder if this would still be looked at as an expense?

 

These are once of expenses that could be deleted or pro rata 'd as long as proper notes are made

 

This likely won't be an issue, one-off expenses like that are easily explained and clearly one-off shouldn't stop you from getting a loan.
Some banks no longer require any statements to verify living expenses.

 

Definitely look to apply now large purchases are seen by banks as one off purchases and do not account for your actual living expenses.

With that said if your broker is worried a lender may not write this off there are plenty of lenders who do not require bank statements. It may just be the path of least resistance to go with this one.
