Most lenders will lend up to 95% of property valuation where a single property is offered as security for the loan, provided the property is assessed as being a suitable security. Some lenders will also add most of the Mortgage Insurance premium to the loan amount, provided the total loan amount does not exceed 97% of valuation. Refer "Lending Updates" link.

-
Offset Variable Home Loans:
Your loan account is linked to a separate savings account to enable interest earned on the savings account to offset or reduce the interest which would normally be calculated on the loan account.
-
Parental Guarantee Loans:
This loan allows parents to offer their home as additional security so that 100% of the purchase price can be borrowed, plus costs in some cases.
The loan will not exceed 80% of the combined security value and no mortgage insurance will be payable. See What is a Parental Guarantee? FAQ.
-
Property Share Loans:
An easy to manage home loan option which allows friends or relatives to purchase a property together but keep their loans separate.
For example, a $400,000 loan can be split into two separate portions with two separate account numbers. Property Share can help first home buyers and investors to make a puchase which might not otherwise occur.
