  1. Buying your first home puts you on the property ladder. Providing you with a secure home.
  2. First home buyers can enjoy a helping hand (first home guarantee scheme,  first home owner grant, stamp duty concessions). 
  3. Various lenders are offering incentives exclusive to first-home buyers to assit your success

How much can you borrow with a guarantor?

While a guarantor can help you in your home buying journey, having a guarantor does not mean that the amount you can borrow will increase. Your borrowing capacity can be determined by taking into account your income, liabilities (credit card, personal loans etc) and expenses to understand the amount of a loan you can service with your remaining income.

With a guarantor loan, you can borrow 100% of the property purchase price or even slightly above that in some special cases, as long as your income is enough to repay the required loan.

A guarantor loan can have many benefits including:

  • Help you get onto the property market sooner
  • Unlock better loans with more favourable rates
  • Buy a property as early as now (you may not need a deposit)
