How do Australian expat home loans work?

Typically, an expat applying for an Australian home loan will typically needs about 20% deposit on the property, as well as additional funds such as stamp duty, legal fees, and bank fees.

For example for a $700k property in New South Wales, where you have a $150k deposit (about 21.5% of the property value), you can expect to also have the following expenses:

  • Stamp duty (currently $26,835 for a property of this price in NSW)
  • Legal fees (approximately $2500)
  • Bank fees (approximately $500)

Please note this is just an example, and we recommend using our calculators to get a better understanding of costs associated with your specific circumstances.

What other options available for expats?
If you already own property in Australia,  you’ll be able to use the equity on that property as a deposit for your new property. Another option is that if your parents own property in Australia, then you may be eligible for a guarantor home loan, which simplifies the process.
