Loan Products

Most Home Ownership Program loans are offered to first home buyers who have the capacity to repay a long term loan and are unable to secure all their finance from a bank or other home lending institution. Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) requires some applicants to source a portion of their required loan funding from alternative lending institutions.

Standard loan products

Purchase or construction of homes – A loan to purchase either an established residential property or to buy land and construct a new home. A condition of construction loans is that the house is to be built by a registered licensed builder under a fixed-price contract. If required for affordability purposes, a construction loan may include refinance of the land on which the house is to be constructed.

Purchase of residential land – A loan to assist with the purchase of land on which you will build a house. Construction of a house on that land must be completed within an approved time period.

Split Loan – Where customers borrow some of the loan funds to purchase a home from a commercial lender. The remainder of the loan funds are borrowed from IBA. Read more about:

Special assistance loan products

In special circumstances IBA may consider providing a loan to a non first home buyer. Your local IBA lending officer can provide guidance on whether your particular circumstances can be considered.
