A temporary resident in a de facto relationship with an Australian permanent resident or citizen can borrow up to 95% of the property value, regardless of your visa status.
When buying with a temporary resident as a permanent resident you would have to consider FIRB approval and foreigner stamp duty surcharge.
- You can avoid the surcharge as well as FIRB approval by having both you and your partner on the mortgage but only the Australian PR holder on the property title. This means for all intents and purposes, the property is solely owned by an Australian who is exempt from both.
- This way both of your incomes can be used when assessing your borrowing power allowing you to borrow the amount you need.
- You may even qualify for the first home owners grant and stamp duty concessions this way.
