Hi Leo,

Welcome to the forums.

Australian banks implement a much stricter lending policy to foreign nationals than they do for Australian citizens. As lenders consider this a high-risk area, only a handful of banks actually provide home loans.

As a general rule, you may be able to borrow up to 70% of the purchase price. Bear in mind, higher interest rates apply to foreign purchases.

Given that you have a high net worth and you make your earnings in Japanese Yen (considered a primary currency), it's possible to get cheaper interest rates but you'll have to come up with a 25% deposit.

If you're a Japanese citizen and you're looking to get an Australian mortgage, please call us on +61 2 9194 1700 or complete our free assessment form and one of our brokers will contact you to further discuss your options.


Cheers,
Otto

Hey Leo,


Buying a property in Adelaide could be a problem for foreign borrowers.

Since there are only a handful of lenders that offer mortgages to foreign nationals, their list of acceptable property locations changes pretty often.

The lenders that can help prefer metro or Category A properties located in the following states:


- Melbourne, Victoria (VIC)
- Sydney, New South Wales (NSW)
- Brisbane, Queensland (QLD)

In saying that, you may stay still qualify for a mortgage - it just means your borrowing may be restricted.

Cheers,
Otto
