Family
Equity and
Guarantors
’Support
Policy
The Family
Equity
option has
been
introduced
to help
first home
buyers and
families to
enter the
property
market.
Specifically,
Family
Equity
will help
those that:
a)may not
have
sufficient
income at
the time
of
application
to service
the mortgage
repayments
b)may wish
to borrow
greater than
the value of
the property
to be
purchased (ie
to include
stamp duty
and fees
relating to
the property
purchase)
© or a
combination
of both
Under Family
Equity,
parental
help (or
help from
immediate
family) may
be used for
servicing
and/or
security
support.
This may
take the
form of
either:
1)Guarantors
providing
Security
support only
2)Guarantors
providing
Servicing
support only
3)Guarantors
providing
Security and
Servicing
support, or
4)Provision
of funds in
the form of
a gift
5)Second
Mortgage
Note: : The
above
scenarios
utilize the
new
Guarantors’
Support
Policy for
Home Loans,
Investment
Home Loans
and Line of
Credit.
Whilst some
competitors
have
released
other
products
targeted at
the first
home buyer’s
market,
Family
Equity is a
step ahead
by
allowing
guarantors
for
servicing
support and
making
available
Draft Forms
of Agreement
that can be
used to
document
ancillary
repayment
arrangements
between the
borrower and
guarantor.
These are
only
available
from
Commonwealth
Bank
branches
once the
loan
has been
approved.
Please note
Guarantors
who earn
solely
government
pension &
are
providing
their owner
occupier
home as
security
will be
deemed
unacceptable.
