A Closer Look at Family Guarantee Loans
30 June 2015 M'OR Mortgage Options
Wanting to buy your first home, but don’t have the deposit required?
With increasing house prices, we’re seeing more First Home Buyers struggling to save the necessary deposit to purchase their first home.
If you’ve found yourself in a similar position, you may be able to get into the market, sooner than you thought, by using a family guarantee loan.
So what is a Family Guarantee Loan?
A family guarantee loan works by using equity in your parent’s property to help secure your new loan. This means the new loan is secured by your new property, as well as a portion of your parent’s home (or other property).
You’ll still need the income to support the loan repayments yourself, as well as parents (typically) who are willing and able to assist, meaning they’ll need to have enough equity in their property.
How much additional security you’ll require for your purchase, and how much equity this translates to for your parents, depends on the purchase price, costs and how much you are looking to contribute to the purchase.
