Who this guide is for
Lakemba-area buyers whose family is willing to help with the deposit by acting as guarantor — using their property equity as security.
- FHBs in Lakemba whose parents own a paid-off home in Sydney
- Bangladeshi families using parent guarantees to help kids buy
- Buyers wanting to avoid $15-30K LMI on a Lakemba property
- Families exploring guarantor + halal finance options
The local picture
Without a 20% deposit, Lakemba buyers face $15-30K in LMI costs and limited lender options. A family guarantor can solve this — but most general brokers don't explain the structure clearly, and family members worry about the risks.
Bengali and Urdu language support makes the conversation work for the whole family.
