About the Specialised Home Loan:
What is a Specialised Home Loan?
The terminology “specialised”, covers a broad range of categories. A specialised home loan, usually means that not every lender will carry this facility and therefore some lenders will have this listed as a “specialised” product.
Usually you will find that a specialised home loan will come under the categories of the following loans:
- Owner builder home loan.
- Reverse honeymoon loan.
- Line of credit or home equity loan.
- Structured loan or split loan.
- Construction loan.
- Bridging loan.
- Self-employed or low doc loan.
- SMSF (self-managed super fund) home loans.
- Unusual security loans.( studio apartments under 50 m² etc).
- Reverse mortgage or Seniors Loan
There are many other loans that will fall into the category of a specialised home loan. It is not only the loan type that will dictate if it is specialised, but also the property type.
Should You Choose a Specialised home Loan?
The lender has the right to look at the security property that you are buying, the reason you are buying, (investment or owner occupied), how you will fund this purchase and if your income is suitable for the amount you need to borrow. This will then determine if the loan will be a specialised loan or not.
- Example: Say you want to purchase a property to live in, and you had not yet sold your existing property and had no cash in the bank to support the new purchase, then there is a chance that you may need a bridging loan. There may be other options as well, but for this exercise will just use the bridging loan scenario.
- The bank has the right to offer you this loan as a solution for you to purchase the new property because it may be the only loan that they have that will suit what you are trying to do. This means that you have no choice but to accept the terms and conditions and the rates and repayments on offer with this loan, because it is the only loan they may offer you, making this loan specialised to your lending needs.
Your individual circumstances will dictate what kind of loan you may need. There are other loan types that you can read about on our site, keeping in mind that you should always speak with an accredited mortgage adviser about your options. This will ensure that you are fully informed about benefits and downsides and that you apply for the right loan the first time.
