There are 4 different types of guarantee you need to know before taking up a guarantor loan:
- Security guarantee: In this guarantee, the guarantor uses their property to secure your home loan. Even if there is already a home loan on the property, you might be eligible to take out a second mortgage. This guarantee is popular with first home buyers who have a good credit history and no deposit.
- Security and income guarantee: This guarantee is common for parents who want to help their children to buy their first property. Besides providing their property as security, their income can also be used as additional security.
- Family guarantee/parent guarantee: It is also referred to as “parental guarantee” as the guarantor is directly related to the borrowers. These guarantors can even include siblings, grandparents and other related family members, however, they are considered on a case by case basis.
- Limited guarantee: As only part of the loan is guaranteed by the guarantor, this reduces any potential liability of the guarantor’s property.
