Key Considerations for Your Offshore Loan
Lenders apply different, often stricter, criteria when assessing loans to borrowers residing overseas. Our expertise is essential for navigating these specific requirements to maximise your borrowing power and secure a competitive rate.
|
Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR)
|
Expats and non-residents typically require a larger deposit than resident borrowers. LVRs are commonly capped between 60% to 80% depending on the borrower's status and country of income.
|
|
Foreign Income Assessment
|
Lenders will "shade" or discount your overseas income (often by 20% or more) to account for currency fluctuations and international tax differences. We identify lenders who offer the most favourable assessment.
|
|
Security & Loan Purpose
|
Loans are predominantly for Investment Property purchases (residential or commercial). We can also assist with refinancing existing Australian mortgages.
|
|
Lender Appetite
|
The number of Australian lenders who offer expat and non-resident loans is small and their policies are constantly changing. We match you with lenders who are actively funding borrowers in your specific location and income currency.
