Home loans / Property Share

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, building and construction loans or internal refinances.

Features & benefits

Convenience

  • Pool your money with friends or family to buy your first home or enter the market as a property investor
  • You may be able to buy a bigger or more expensive property than  you would otherwise be able to afford on your own

Flexibility

  • Split the costs of your home any way you like and let each borrower decide how they want to manage their loan repayments

Things to consider

  • By going into a Property Share agreement you are providing a guarantee, which can involve serious financial risk to you if the other borrower(s) can’t meet the terms and conditions of their loan contract. Your credit report may also be negatively impacted
  • We strongly recommend you seek independent legal and financial advice before providing a guarantee to understand your risks, obligations and potential impact on your financial situation

How to apply

  • Each borrower must be an owner of the property (no third-party guarantors) and show they can repay their portion of the home loan (prove servicing of the loan)
  • You’ll need to guarantee each other’s loans as security support
  • You must seek legal advice and all sign a Property Share Authority Declaration form before entering into a Property Share agreement
