My partner and I want to buy a house that we think may sell for around 250,000.
We have no deposit, however he has a property with his ex wife that is worth around 400,000.
Unfortunately it is in her name.
He is waiting for settlement which is in the hands of a solicitor now.
There is $60,000 owing on his house.
Once settlement is through he will pay most of the loan out.
I am a registered nurse with a permanent job.
This house is to be auctioned early August, so we need the money asap.
Is it possible to borrow 100% if a family member can go guarantor??
Finder
ShirleyJuly 9, 2013Finder
Hi Carole,
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, with a guarantor you can borrow up to 120% LVR with RAMS, depending on your financial situation and your eligibility to their lending criteria.
If you think a particular RAMS home loan is right for you and you meet the lending criteria, you can click enquire and you’ll be safely redirected to RAM’s enquiry page.
