Foreign Currency Home Loans.
There are potentially two basic groups of people who can apply for a loan to purchase property in Australia.
Australian citizens living abroad and non residents. Australian citizens can borrow and invest in Australia without
needing government approval.
Non residents need Foreign Investment Review Board [FIRB] approval to purchase property
in Australia. FIRB approval must be sought by non citizens prior to signing a contract or applying for a loan, we are
unable to apply on your behalf.
We can source, from our lender panel, a home loan for your Australian investment property that offers the
choice of being in Australian dollars or USD, HKD, SGD, GBP, NZD or Euro whilst
you are living overseas. Lenders approval criteria does apply.
Why Star Financial Solutions?
If you are an Australian expatriot living overseas then we know what you are experiencing.
We have lived overseas and understand what it is like coming to grips with a different way
of doing things, different laws, different culture. What makes simple things hard is trying to work remotely
from the other side of the world and dealing with people who do not know what it's like. Whilst we cannot
eliminate all the frustrations and difficulties, we can work with you to make the process as smooth as
possible, we have been in your shoes.
