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.
