Relocation Loans

You've found that a perfect property or a block of land to build your dream home, and want to move quickly, without the delay or added stress selling your existing home may cause. A Relocation Loan enables you to purchase your new property, or start construction, before selling your existing home, giving you the breathing space to make important decisions.

How much can you borrow?

The amount you can borrow with a relocation loan will depend on the amount of equity you have in your existing property combined with the property’s current market value.

Home valuation

You should have your existing home valued by an (accredited) bank valuer before you make any new purchase decisions.

It is important to note that a valuation by a real estate agent is not considered sufficient and will not provide an accurate guide for your borrowing capacity.

How does it work?

Your relocation loan can be established to pay for your deposit on your new home, with the balance, plus additional expenses like stamp duty. These loans have a period of 6 months which generally covers the purchase of a new home and the sale of an existing property. For the construction of a new home, relocation loans can be established with 6 months for construction and 6 months to sell your existing home.

To get you started, we have collated all of the questions we have been asked by our Upgrader clients. Check out our FAQs, or download our handy Tips on whether to sell first before buying.
