You can use a family guarantee to help get your home sooner
A family guarantee allows your family to help you purchase a property without actually providing you with a cash gift or cash loan. Using a family guarantee you could apply for a home loan without a deposit and without paying the lender’s mortgage insurance costs.
For example, if you wanted to purchase a property worth $550k, you could have to save up to $110k to get a 20% deposit. Saving up for a deposit this big could take you years. Instead, your parents could provide a limited guarantee for the required amount against their existing property (or against a Term Deposit that they hold with IMB) so that you don’t have to pay lender’s mortgage insurance or save up for a deposit.
This all helps you get into your home much sooner and can save you money.
You can use a family guarantee to help get your home sooner if you are purchasing a residential property that you intend to live in. Family guarantees are not available for investment properties. Family guarantees are well suited to first home buyers, although you do not need to be a first home buyer to take advantage of IMB’s Family Guarantee.
IMB allows immediate family members such as parents and step parents to provide a guarantee for their children. IMB may also consider other guarantor relationships.
