What is a Family Guarantee Loan and how could it help me?

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.
