What’s a guarantor loan?
A guarantor home loan allows you to use the equity in the property of your parents, or someone else close to you like a sibling, in-law, aunt or uncle, as security for a mortgage. The equity of your guarantor’s property will be used as collateral for a loan, which gives the bank the confidence to lend to you and means you won’t need to pay lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI). You will be responsible for making repayments, but should anything go wrong the bank will be able to turn to your guarantor for payments.
A guarantor loan could help you get a home in the South West much faster and more easily by lowering the deposit you’ll need to get a home. It could also save you thousands in LMI costs and other fees.
Because your guarantor will be using their property as security for your home loan, there is some risk involved so it’s important to discuss the commitment involved.
Guarantor loans are a great way for first home buyers to get their foot in the door but there are some eligibility requirements you’ll need to meet.

What does it mean to be a loan guarantor?
Being a guarantor means you’ll be helping someone to get credit. Guarantor’s basically provide a guarantee on a loan by promising to pay back a debt if the borrower can’t. A portion or all of the equity in the guarantor’s property is usually required by lenders as additional collateral on the loan.
Can anyone be a guarantor?
Your lender will usually require that a guarantor is someone you have a close personal relationship with. This usually means a parent or a spouse, but it could also be siblings, aunts or uncles or an in-law.
Why would someone need a guarantor?
A borrower might need a guarantor because they’re young and don’t have much credit history, they might for instance be a first home buyer, or they may have just started a job, have a history of bad credit or have a lower income or savings than the banks require. A guarantor can help borrowers overcome these hurdles.
