Hello Obi. Welcome to the forums.

Apart from guarantor home loans, there are a few other no deposit home loans available:
  • Gifted deposit: If your parents or in-laws can gift you a deposit that is acceptable to some lenders.
  • Personal loan as a deposit: If you have a high income, clear credit history and no more than $10,000 in existing debt, you can use a personal loan as a deposit.
  • Using the equity from another property: If you have equity in an existing property, you can use that as the deposit to purchase another property.
  • Self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF): If you have over $150,000 in your super, you can set up an SMSF to buy an investment property. However, you cannot buy an owner-occupier property within your SMSF.

Hi Obi,

If possible, you’d want to wait until the loan to value ratio (LVR) is below 80% of the property value before applying to remove a guarantor’s guarantee so as to avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) fees. To be clear, you can apply to remove the guarantor once the LVR reaches 90%, but that would involve paying LMI.

For example, if you were borrowing $420,000 to purchase a house worth $400,000 plus associated cost of completing the purchase, your LVR is 105%.

Once you’ve paid down the loan to $320,000 or 80% of the property value. Your LVR may in fact even be lower than this if the property value has risen in the meantime.

Hi Obi,

Yes, you can borrow 100% of the property value plus up to 5% in costs to cover stamp duty, legal fees, mortgage fees etc.

Typically, the guarantor is only guaranteeing up to 20%-25% of the property value. It is also known as a limited guarantee guarantor loan wherein the guarantor only secures part of the borrower’s mortgage instead of the whole loan amount. For example, for a $420,000 property, the limited guarantee will be around $125,000 if you’re borrowing 105% of the purchase price.

You can use our guarantor loan calculator to work out the size of the limited guarantee and whether or not you’re likely to have any issues getting approved with lenders.

One of the key advantages of a guarantor home loan is the waived Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). LMI is a fee charged when borrowing over 80% of the property which is waived when applying with a guarantor.
