Expat loans in Australia
Expat loans in Australia are tricky but totally achievable. Australian citizens living and working overseas can still buy property here. But only specific Australian lenders will offer finance.
To make things more complicated, each of those lenders has its own specific requirements and expectations.

Talk to Derek about expats loans in Australia
Some things to consider…
There is a restricted number of Australian lenders who offer expats loans. Those that do have assessment policies that are very strict.
That’s why using a broker experienced in expat loans can make this process less stressful, especially taking into account the added difficulties of timezones, conveyancing and whether you are using a buyer’s agent.
But getting an Australian loan, or refinancing, as an Australian citizen living overseas is possible. Right now though, Australian lenders are only accepting applications from PAYG-style borrowers. Self-employed Aussie expats don’t fit the current policy.

“As a long-term expat looking to retire back home [in Australia], I started looking at property during lockdown…I came across Derek’s broking services and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. In fact, I was so happy, I bought two properties and used his services twice.”
