AUSTRALIAN EXPAT HOME LOANS

Aussie Expats and
Non-Resident Loans

We help people overseas purchase property in all parts of Australia. We’re specialists in securing property investment lending for Australian expats and non-residents. This type of loan application process is different for non-residents so you can really benefit from working with our experienced team.

Options and Need-to-know

Most of the usual types of property loans are available for non-residents such as a standard variable rate loan or split loan (with fixed interest rate and variable rate components). Interest rates and fees may typically be higher compared to a regular loan and not all lenders will allow expats to borrow. It’s important to note, that the chosen lender accepts the currency in which you receive your income. PAYG income is also preferred to meet the criteria for such lenders with non-resident applicants. However, we do have solutions available if you are self-employed and living overseas.
