Help the kids and keep your money working.

So the kids get into the property market and the parents have helped make that happen, that’s great but Family Equity does more!

If they wish, parents can benefit from any increase in the value in the kid’s property. They can also, if they choose, get interest paid on their contribution. It’s up to the family to decide.

Basically everyone wins!

So what's the difference between Family Equity and going guarantor or just giving the kids a gift or loan?

Family Equity is totally different to the traditional ways of helping your kids into their first property.

Parents don’t have to go guarantor, which has hidden financial risks. And you’re not gifting the money either, you’re making a contribution that is backed by our exclusive legal agreement and registered with the State Government, giving you protection not available with gifts, loans or guarantee arrangements.

But here’s the big difference – you can benefit financially by helping without the kids being disadvantaged!

A joint arrangement - parents and kids agree as equals.

It’s also different because no one has the upper hand, every one enters into a Family Equity Agreement as equals.

You decide and agree the terms:

  • Whether or not the parents get part of the property’s increase in value
  • Whether or not the parents receive interest from the kids on their contribution
  • How and when the parents are to be repaid, if that’s what happens
  • The rules for returning money

Case Study – Everyone Wins

In the case study below we can see that a home buyer with a $75,000 deposit trying to buy a $500k property can eliminate Lenders Mortgage Insurance and also reduce the monthly loan repayments on their home loan with the help of a Family Equity contribution.

^ Interest is only payable if an interest payment option is agreed by parents and children. Assumes an applied interest rate of 2% above an RBA Cash Rate of 2%, annualised and paid in equal monthly instalments.

  • In the example shown the Lenders Mortgage Insurance is reduced from $7,972 to $nil and the children’s loan repayments are reduced from $2,299 per month to $1,879 per month.
  • If the parents and children agreed that mum and dad should be paid interest, then mum and dad receive $250 per month (which is probably more interest than they would have received on a term deposit) and the total monthly outgoings for the kids is still less than it would have been if they had borrowed the extra $75,000 from a bank.

Family Equity agreements are legally binding and spelled out up front so everyone knows exactly where they stand - no one gets a free ride, unless you want to give them one, and all family members are treated fairly into the future.

The kids keep their independence.

When we started working on this new approach we saw how important it was for kids to keep control of their lives. It’s great that they’re getting a helping hand but they’re out there working for a living, earning good money. They want to stand on their own two feet – be independent. They know they could easily cover mortgage repayments but as prices rise the deposit needed grows faster they can save it!

It’s a catch 22 that parents can fix. Family Equity lets you set up cast iron agreements up front, there’s even clever ways to get a decent rate of return on the money you help them out with, while they save too. Everyone feels better, the kids have their own place and mum and dad have peace of mind.
