| | Finding out how much you can borrow is an important step so you can look for houses in the right price range. | | How much can you borrow?
There are two ways you can find out how much you can borrow: The amount you can borrow will vary according to your specific situation. It depends on a number of factors including: - The value of the home you want to buy
- How much deposit you have (if any)
- Your income
- Your ability to repay your home loan i.e. how much money you will have to put towards repayments, after you’ve accounted for your regular expenses.
- The type of home (freestanding house, apartment, etc.).
We suggest that you talk to us about your specific situation. Generally when the amount you are borrowing is over 80% of a property’s value, a Low Equity Premium on a graduated scale will apply and a Registered Valuer's Report will be required.
