A guarantor home loan is a unique financing arrangement in which a family member of the homebuyer pledges their own property as collateral for the loan. This type of loan serves as the sole option for borrowing between 100% and 110% of a property's purchase price. Essentially, 80% of the loan amount is secured by the property you intend to purchase, while the remaining 20% is secured against your parent's property.
