Permanent Residents are treated by some banks and lenders as foreign citizens which invokes stricter lending policy than is otherwise applied to Australian citizens. There are however a handful of banks and lenders that will treat PR visa holders like Australian citizens and thereby provide home loans under normal lending criteria. Below is an example of the policies applied to Australian Permanent Residents.
Permanent Resident living and working in Australia:
PR visa holders buying a home in Australia can obtain a home loan with just 5% deposit. The 5% deposit can be genuine or non genuine savings so there is no requirement to have saved up the deposit but can rather come from a gift, sale of an asset, First Home Owners Grant or even a personal loan.
Permanent Resident buying a home with someone who does not hold PR:
If the permanent resident is purchasing with an borrower that does not hold PR, then a home loan is still available to 95% LVR as well. The key is that one applicant must be an Australian citizen or Permanent Resident see: Joint Loan for PR and Temporary Resident.
Home Loans for Permanent Residents Living and Working Abroad earning foreign income:
For Australian permanent resident visa holders living and working overseas earning a foreign income, home loan mortgage finance is also available but to 90% LVR thereby requiring a 10% deposit plus costs like Stamp duty and legals. There are restrictions on the currency that the Permanent Resident is earning at this LVR.
Ashleigh StanleyWe’ve had the pleasure of working with Justin Thom to refinance our loans in order to purchase another block of land, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his support throughout the process.
From start to finish, Justin made everything feel straightforward and explained concepts to help us understand the process too. He went above and beyond to help us secure the best possible loan, taking the time to find the right bank and deal to suit our needs. Even when a few hurdles came up from our side, he was very flexible and found solutions for us! He is proactive in his approach, had very clear communication, and was always willing to make time for us.
Justin is very professional, yet we felt he genuinely cared for helping us. We felt completely supported every step of the way and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated broker! We will definitely be using him as our broker from now on.
Kyle MeehanWe had an exceptional experience with Justin. His patience throughout the process was remarkable, always taking the time to explain every detail and answer our numerous questions. He kept us informed at every step and ensured we understood all our options. His support throughout, and post completion, was invaluable, making us feel confident and secure in our decisions. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in securing our mortgage. Highly recommend!
Ari & Nadene ThomasWe recently worked with Justin refinance our loan. This is the 2nd time working with him and both times have been a pleasure.
Justin has always gone above and beyond to assist us to ensure we get the best possible service. Not only does he show a professional attitude toward his role, but he also shows a genuine interest in our family to assist with our financial matters.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Justin to people important in my life.
