Refinancing is when you move your home loan from one lender to another. You might do this to get a better interest rate, better loan features, better service… any reason at all really! Be careful though, as there may be some Help me refinance my Home Loan.

When you're buying or building a home or apartment you intend to live in, it's called an owner occupied property. This includes holiday homes that you don’t rent out and purchases of land on which you intend to build on, to live in. When you're applying for a home loan, you'll need to specify whether you're applying for an owner occupied loan or an investment loan. This distinction can change the interest rate options and loan features available to you.

Struggling to save up enough of a deposit to buy your first home or first investment property? Then our Family Guarantee could be just the thing to get you into a place you can call your own. Our Family Guarantee enables first home buyers with limited savings to enter the property market sooner*.

Here's how it works – If your parents or other family members have equity in their home, investment property or have a Term Deposit with Credit Union SA, you can use that equity or investment to guarantee a portion of your loan.

Which family members can provide a Family Guarantee?

• Parents
• Parents-in-law
• Step-parents

Credit Union SA will consider the provision of guarantees by other immediate family members where a guarantee from the above-mentioned family members would not be appropriate.

When can a Family Guarantee be used?

Guarantees from family members can only be provided to assist first home buyers/investors to:

• purchase a new property;
• purchase an established property;
• build a new home.

Where a borrower is entitled to a government grant, the entitlement will not be affected by the provision of a Family Guarantee. Family Guarantees will not usually be accepted by the Credit Union where offered to support borrowings for a second/subsequent property or for any other purpose.

The LVR is the loan amount as a percentage of the total value of the property. For example, if you are borrowing $280,000 to purchase a house valued at $350,000 then your LVR is 80%. The maximum LVR that you can borrow up to depends on several factors including the type of loan, the loan amount that you’re applying for and your capacity to make repayments.
