Hello Sammy. Welcome to the forums.

Congratulations on the baby girl!

There are five primary no deposit home loan solutions available which are:
  • Guarantor loans: If you or your spouse’s parent can provide a guarantee secured on their property, you can borrow up to 105% of the purchase price.
  • Gifted deposit: If your parents can provide you with 5% to 15% of the purchase price as a non-refundable gift, some lenders may accept this as your deposit.
  • Personal loan as a deposit: Not many lenders accept this, however, if you have a very high income you can borrow up to 95% of the purchase price plus a personal loan. You must have a clear history and no more than $10,000 in debt.
  • Equity in another property: If you already own another property you can use the equity in that property as a deposit. If you have sufficient equity then you don’t need any savings at all.
  • Use your superannuation: If you have over $150,000 in your super, you can set up a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) to buy a property. You can only use this for an investment property, and not as an owner-occupied property.
We specialise in no deposit home loans.

Hi Sammy,

Lenders have strict criteria regarding gifted deposits however if it’s your parent or in-laws who are gifting you the deposit (or a portion of it) they are generally accepted.

You would need to provide a signed gift letter from your in-laws stating that the amount is actually a gift and not a loan.

You can use our gift letter template for a mortgage that’s accepted by most lenders.

Hi Sammy,

Consider the following points:
  • You’ll have to meet stricter lending criteria than if you were able to come up with a deposit, or at least a larger deposit.
  • Some lenders may charge you a higher interest rate, although this isn’t true with all lenders.
  • Since you’re borrowing a larger loan amount, your regular mortgage repayments will also be higher.
  • You’re not always exempt from all bank fees and may still need to set money aside to cover application fees, lender fees, legal fees and valuation fees.
