Acquiring property or refinancing an existing one in Australia as an Australian citizen residing overseas can be a challenging task. However, our award winning mortgage brokers specialize in obtaining home loans for Australian citizens who live and work abroad, allowing them to borrow up to 95% LVR at the standard home loan interest rates.
Using an expat lending specialist can be beneficial because navigating bank policies on home loans for non-residents can be complicated. Different lenders have varying credit policies and criteria for home loans, which can make it difficult to understand which bank is the best fit for your circumstances. A mortgage broker who specializes in expat lending has expertise in this area and not only can help you find a suitable lender that maximizes your chances of securing a home loan, they can also obtain competitive interest rates and a fast approval for your application. They are also a wealth of knowledge in giving you free lending guidance and proposals.
