Guarantor Home Loans in Australia
Enter the property market faster with expert guidance for both borrowers and guarantors.
Buying your first home may feel out of reach when you only have a 5–10% deposit. Saving tens of thousands solely to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) may feel impossible — especially with rising property prices across regional NSW.
A guarantor home loan may change that.
With the right structure, you may borrow up to 100% of the property value (or 105% including costs), skip LMI, and get into your first home years sooner.
But guarantor loans also come with responsibilities and risks — for you and for the family member offering their home as security. This is where having the right broker becomes crucial.
At REMC Finance, we ensure both the borrower and guarantor understand the commitment, the protections available, and the fastest path to releasing the guarantee safely.
Why Guarantor Loans Are Increasing Across Australia
Many first-time buyers face the same challenges:
Common problems borrowers face
- A strong income but not enough saved for a full deposit
- Concern about rising rents outpacing savings
- Worry about Lenders Mortgage Insurance adding tens of thousands
- Feeling overwhelmed comparing deposit rules between lenders
- Confusion about guarantor obligations
Common concerns for guarantors (especially parents):
- “Will my house be at risk?”
- “How much am I guaranteeing?”
- “What happens if their situation changes?”
- “When may I be released from the loan?”
Our job is to remove the uncertainty — for both sides.
How a Guarantor Home Loan Works
A guarantor loan allows a parent or close family member to use the equity in their home as security for part of your loan. This reduces your loan-to-value ratio (LVR), meaning the lender may waive LMI.
There are two main structures:
Full Guarantor Loan
The guarantor secures the entire loan amount.
This is rare today and not usually recommended.
Limited Guarantee (Most Common & Safest)
The guarantor only secures the amount needed to reduce your LVR to 80%.
This approach significantly reduces risk and is the structure most lenders prefer.
At REMC Finance, we focus heavily on limited guarantees, giving everyone peace of mind with minimal exposure.
