Home Loan Guarantees

There is no doubt that property prices of Australian real estate are constantly on the rise.  Due to this fact, it is becoming harder and harder for investors and first home buyers to make the initial deposits, or get a loan in the first place. What makes it more difficult is that often the market values of properties often rise rapidly, faster than the income you make and the savings you put in your bank account.
Several banks and lenders recognise this continuous problem, and have tried a number of ways to remedy and fix the existing problem.

One of the solutions to get around the deposit that you require is through a family guarantee. The basic idea of a family guarantee is that it will allow you to purchase a home without the need for your own savings as a deposit. With a family guarantee, the existing equity in the guarantor’s home can be used to add as funds for the loan.

A family guarantee however requires that the family member making the guarantee has adequate assets of their own. This means that a family guarantee may not be as effective if the family member acting as the guarantor has low assets of their own, or does not have a good credit score.

With a family guarantee, you are able to apply for many loan types. The loan can have a fixed or variable rate, it can be a no doc or low doc loan, capped rate loans, and many more.

So what are you waiting for? Why loan just 90% when you can loan up to 100% of the property’s value with a guarantee home loan.
