    Hi all,

    Does anyone know any lenders in NZ that will lend 95% to overseas borrowers?
    Westpac have declined saying the 20% is hard and fast and we just don't have 20%!
    I am a NZ citizen living in Australia.

    Thanks in advance,
    Emma

    Hi Emma,

    Is it a cashflow positive property? Just wondering if you could borrow the rest of the money from somewhere else and pay it back from the rental over time?

    Is it a new property or would the vendor do a vendor loan?

    Regards,

    I would doubt you would get 95% as an offshore buyer even using a second mortgage.

    Hi Kiwishep,

    I was hoping the fact that I'm an NZ'er living overseas would help but no.
    I have managed to secure 90% through a fantastic broker in Chch so I'm happy.

    Cheers,
    Emma

    I have a two bed room apartment in Nelson St, Auckland. It is on the 12th level in a block of 500 or so units. I paid $195,000 for it about two years ago. I wonder how much it is worth today. Any idea?

    I need to refinance the mortgage. How much can I borrow against this and at what rate? Any help will be appreciated.

    Regards

    Robert

    Dear Emma,

    The best way to purchase properties overseas is to establish a line of credit against the equity in your home or portfolio that way you will not be restricted by LVR.

    Otherwise there are morgage brokers who specialise in securing loans for overseas investors.

    Hi Emma
    I'm new to investing but I had a discussion with my partner today re financing.  Before we met he looked into getting a second house using Southern Cross Finance (http://www.scfl.co.nz/)  He said they were very open to investors who didn't meet the standard criteria set by other lenders. 

    Just a thought.

    Best of luck
    Colleen
