    Good evening

    I have a property valued at $600000.

    I only need 80% of the money now so what I was thinking of doing was offering deposit finance of 20% to the buyer coming in (repayments -principal payments only) so they would only have to get a 80% loan with the bank.  My question is would a buyer be able to get a 80% loan with the bank knowing they have been given the deposit finance from the seller?

    If so what lenders would do this?

    Regards

    Jay

    It would be very difficult for the buyer to get finance if they were relying on that 20%. I don't know any lenders that would allow this.

    Thanks Terry

    Do you think if the buyer had 5% savings and I gave them the other 15% that they might be able to get a loan?

    regards

    If they had enough to cover a 5% deposit and costs then that could be enough to get the deal over the line without your involvement.

    Cheers

    thanks Jamie

    As I want the property to sell quickly (at the moment not the case) and for me to get my price I thought it would make it easier for the buyer to only have to get a 80% loan

    and therefore pay the price I want.  Would that work?

    Regards

    It will still be difficult even if the purchaser has 5% genuine savings.

    Are you contemplating taking a 2nd mortgage to secure your money? This could make it harder.
