At Saan Home Loan we assist borrowers exploring guarantor home loans in Australia as a pathway to homeownership when saving a large deposit may take time. As experienced home loan providers in Australia we work with lenders that allow eligible family members to support a loan application by offering equity in their property as additional security.
A guarantor home loan involves a family member using a portion of equity from their property to support your mortgage. Instead of providing cash the guarantor allows the lender to use their property as additional security for a portion of the loan.
For example:
Property purchase price: $650000
Borrower deposit: $32500
Guarantor provides security using available equity in their property
The lender combines the security from both properties when assessing the Loan to Value Ratio. This structure can reduce the risk for the lender which may allow approval with a smaller deposit and potentially remove the need for Lenders Mortgage Insurance depending on lender policies.
The borrower remains responsible for making all loan repayments while the guarantor supports only the guaranteed portion of the loan.
Lower Deposit Requirements
Some borrowers may qualify for a loan with a smaller deposit when additional security is provided.
Eligibility and Considerations
Guarantor home loans require careful assessment of both the borrower and the guarantor. Lenders evaluate financial stability serviceability and available property equity before approving the loan.
Greater Borrowing Support
The added security from the guarantor property can strengthen the loan application and may increase borrowing capacity.
Pathway to Independent Ownership
Once the borrower builds sufficient equity the guarantor may be released from the loan arrangement through refinancing or review.
