We couldn't be happier with Andrew and his team at Intuitive Finance. We previously approached other mortgage brokers... to obtain finance on our behalf for our next investment purchase and they had fallen well short of the funds we needed to achieve our next property purchase. Andrew provided guidance with the right finance strategy for us and assisted us through the sometimes rocky road with the banks. We will most certainly engage Intuitive Finance again when we require funding for our next project.read more

Guarantor Home Loan

Introduction

What is a Guarantor Home Loan?

A guarantor home loan allows family members or, in some cases, someone else who is close to you, to ‘guarantee’ a loan. This means they will be responsible for paying back the loan if you can’t. A guarantor usually has to offer equity (such as a percentage of their own home) as security for part or all of your mortgage.

For a guarantor home loan you would borrow an amount from a bank and repay it, but the guarantor’s equity essentially acts as additional collateral should something go wrong, which means the bank could take possession of it if your guarantor also can’t meet the repayments.

Key Issues

Why choose a Guarantor Home Loan?

Benefits
One of the main benefits of having a guarantor on your home loan is that it may help you avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). It can be paid upfront as a one-off or added to your loan repayments, depending on the lender. A guarantor could also help you secure funding from a bank if you don’t have enough saved for a 20% deposit, and can help reassure the bank that mortgage repayments will be covered even if something unexpected occurs and you can’t pay.

Drawbacks
The main risks and drawbacks associated with a guarantor home loan are for the guarantor, who is ultimately liable to cover mortgage repayments and fees if the borrower is unable to. Any potential guarantors should carefully consider the decision to go guarantor, as it could put their hard-earned savings or potentially their home at risk and delay retirement plans.

Lenders’ Views on Guarantor Home Loans
Some lenders may let you borrow up to or even above 100% of the value of the property you’re buying if you have a guarantor, but it really depends on the lender, your financial standing as a potential borrower and the circumstances of your proposed guarantor or guarantors, as well as factors like the size of your loan. As with any home loan, your lender will still consider whether you can afford your loan repayments, along with your track record of saving.

FAQ’s

1. Can a guarantor help with both servicing and security? Or is it just security?

Some lenders will allow guarantors to help with servicing of the loan but generally, the majority of lenders only allow the guarantor to help with security.

2. How does providing a guarantee effect the guarantor?

There is little to no effect for the guarantor when the guarantee is able to make payments on time.
The guarantor agrees to the loan to help the guarantee, not themselves.
There is recourse against the guarantor.

3. How does a guarantor be released from their obligations?

There are a number of ways that a guarantor can be released from their obligations, these include:

Paying down the loan
Having the equity of the guarantees home increase

But normally, it is a combination of both of these outcomes.
