How do I go about buying a property with a family member or friend?

You will only be getting one first home owners grant. Even if both of you are eligible to receive the first home owners grant of $7000, as you are making a joint home loan application you will only be entitled to one grant amount.

Keep the relationship equal. An important factor in the success of co-borrowing is to maintain an equal and strong relationship with your fellow borrower. Therefore make sure each of you is responsible for an equal 50-50 share in the property and that you have a legally binding contract.

Consider a co-ownership agreement. A co-ownership agreement can cover things such as maintenance, payment for any damages and each personâ€™s capital gains liability. It will also include details of what is to happen if one person defaults on their loan payment; typically if one person defaults the other person can be liable for all of the repayments and you may want to be able to take power of attorney in this case so you can refinance or sell, or you may want to make sure you are not held responsible by the lender for the repayments if your co-borrower has lost their job or become unable to work. A co-ownership agreement can also cover you in the event that the relationship between you and your co-borrower breaks down because details of such a situation will be in your agreement and can save you on costly litigation.

A co-ownership agreement will need to be obtained from your solicitor. A co-ownership agreement is not a standard part of a home loan contract and will need to be organised in addition to your home loan application.

What is LMI and how is it calculated?

It does not protect you it protects the lender. Lenders mortgage insurance protects your home loan provider if you default on your loan, and the provider makes a loss when they sell your home to cover their costs. If you want to insure your repayments if you are unable to meet your mortgage obligations, you will need to take out a separate personal insurance policy.

LMI is provided by an external insurance underwriter. Lenders mortgage insurance is organised by an external insurance provider and the premiums are determined by that insurance company based on the amount of your loan, your loan to value ratio, the stamp duty amount and type of loan.

Lenders mortgage insurance can be paid upfront or over the life of the loan. You can pay your LMI with your other loan application fees, or you can spread the cost out over the life of your loan by adding it to your loan amount.
