Key features

The Greater Bank Great Rate Discount with parental guarantee home loan offers a solid 5.99% p.a. variable rate (6.00% p.a. comparison rate*) for owner occupiers making principal and interest repayments and allows home buyers to borrow up to 110% of the property value. 

For first home buyers who may not have enough to put down a deposit, the Great Rate Discount with parental guarantee may be exactly what they need. Been nice to your folks lately? Because with this home loan, instead of making a deposit of 10% or 20%, borrowers can get mum and dad to guarantee the loan by using their own property as security on the mortgage. Not only that, Greater Bank will waive Lenders Mortgage Insurance, it may be worth considering washing dad’s car, and soon! 

And the benefits of the Greater Bank Great Rate Discount with parental guarantee home loan don’t stop there. Borrowers can make extra repayments on this loan at no extra cost and have access to a redraw facility with no minimum redraw amount, so they can access their funds if they need to. 

Just bear in mind though, you will be hit with a $180 settlement fee at the beginning of your loan and a $300 discharge fee once you’ve paid it off.

Any catches

Remember that the more you borrow the more interest you accumulate, so weigh up the costs of putting down a deposit versus paying extra in interest. Also keep in mind that there is a $180 settlement fee and a $300 discharge fee.
