What is Property Share?
Want to share your property costs with someone else? Property Share allows you to split the cost of buying a home with family and friends, while retaining individual control of your finances.
All Property Share borrowers must be owners of the property and guarantee each other’s home loan(s) as security. A maximum of two home loan applications per security is allowed, but each application may have multiple borrowers or multiple loan products (such as a split loan).
Property Share is available for individuals, non-trading companies and/or family/unit/hybrid trusts who take out one of our Standard Variable Rate, Fixed Rate or Extra home loans, or a Viridian Line of Credit.
Property Share cannot be used for business purposes, bridging loans, land purchase or building and construction loans.
