Guide to Australian Mortgages

Australian mortgages are available for residential property only, available for both house purchase and home improvement. Furthermore, Australian mortgages may be available for other purposes. Australian loans are available on both repayment and interest only mortgages.

The minimum loan value of a mortgage in Australia is £50,000. There is currently no maximum set, but the loan may not exceed 75 per cent in pounds sterling or 80 per cent in Australian dollars of the valuation of the house or the purchase price, whichever is the lower.

Borrowers looking for mortgages in Australia need to prove their income. This can be made up of earned income, pension investment, or rental income, but the lender does not have to take all of this into account. Mortgage terms are between 5 and 30 years, and must be paid off by age 70. Mortgages are available in Australian Dollars.
