Mercia’s Mortgage Brokers

With house prices moving it’s even tougher for first home buyers to enter the market. If you want to assist a family member to buy their first home there are a number of thing you can do:

  • Provide a gift or loan
  • Offer equity in your own home as security
  • Use Commonwealth Bank or other banks Family Equity products.

Family Equity is a home buying solution unlike any other, designed to help first home buyers enter the property market. It’s a range of financing options that can help customers secure a home loan, repay a home loan, or a combination of both. The main customer benefit is the ability to enter the property market by relying on guarantors for security and/or servicing support.

A family member has always been able to assist with providing equity or funds for a deposit. What’s good about family equity is it also allows servicing support. This means that if an applicant’s income is not sufficient to service the loan required, a family member (or anyone for that matter) can assist by paying some of the repayments on an ongoing basis. The person providing the equity or servicing support is not required to be on the title of the property being financed. Remember there is a grant and stamp duty incentives from the State Government for first home buyers too.

Some banks are  currently offering great discounts  on home and investment loans.

The current low variables may not last for long – so you may want to lock in the savings for up to 3 years. Not sure how it all works. A mortgage broker and explain it to you.
