What is eligible for the guarantor to use as security?

Each lender is different, and their risk appetites will vary. Some will not accept owner-occupied property as security and will only accept security over property that is not the guarantor’s principal place of residence.
Listed below are the most common forms of security:

  • Property. Principal place of residence (an owner-occupied home).
  • Property. Not the principal place of residence, this could be an investment property or a holiday home.
  • Term Deposit. This is a less common option but may be used when the guarantor has sufficient funds in a term deposit held with the lending institution to utilise as the guarantee in lieu of providing security over property.
