Expatriates Loans Australia - Remote home loans for Australians Overseas

Facts about mortgages for Aussie expats

Banks in Australia lend up to 90% of the Australian property value to Aussie expats on normal terms. "Normal terms" means that expats can have the same conditions as locals. Acceptable loan purposes include:

To purchase an investment or owner occupied property in Australia
To refinance or consolidate debts in Australia or overseas
To take equity out of Australian property for personal or business use overseas

Loan amounts

The maximum loan amounts depending on the percentage of the property value are:

Mortgages up to 90%, max amount $1,500,000
Mortgages up to 80% - no maximum amount

The process: requirements, timeframes and costs

Arranging a mortgage takes about 30 days plus 15 days for the loan & mortgage documents to be couriered overseas for you to be executed and back. A pre-approval can be obtained within 2-3 days. The entire process is completed via email, phone and fax. We generally do not charge a brokerage for arranging mortgages as banks pay us a commission. We disclose commissions and loan parameters on a finance broker agreement at the time of application.

The property purchase costs (stamp duty, legal fees, etc.) in Australia can be roughly estimated as 4-6% of the purchase price depending on the state (VIC, NSW, etc.) and property type/size. This excludes the mortgage insurance applicable in some cases, ranging from 1-3% of the loan amount as a once off expense.
