Here's what we usually get asked
How can parents help their children buy a home?
There are several ways parents can assist, including gifting money, lending money, acting as a
guarantor or using equity from an existing property. The right option depends on your family's goals,
financial position and comfort level.
What's the difference between gifting money and guaranteeing a loan?
A gift is money provided to help with a deposit that generally doesn't need to be repaid. A guarantee
uses the equity in your property to help your child borrow without needing a larger deposit. Both
options have advantages and risks, which we help you understand.
The answer depends on the structure used. This is one of the most important reasons to seek advice before making any commitments so everyone understands their obligations and risks.
Will helping my children affect my retirement plans?
Potentially. That's why we always start with your position first. We want to ensure any assistance
provided supports your children without compromising your own future goals.
How much does it cost?
Your initial strategy session is complimentary.

Understand Your Family's Situation
We start by understanding both sides of the equation.
Your financial position, future plans and comfort levels, along with your child's goals, savings and
borrowing capacity.
This gives us a clear picture of what may be possible and what makes sense for everyone involved.
Explore The Different Ways You Can Help
Many parents don't realise there are multiple ways to support their children.
We explain the pros, cons and potential risks of each option, including family guarantees, gifting funds, lending money or using equity.
Most importantly, we help you understand how each option may impact your own future plans.
Create A Clear Plan For Everyone
Once we've identified the right approach, we help structure it correctly.
That means clear expectations, appropriate protections and a strategy that supports your child while
helping protect your own financial position.
The result is confidence, clarity and a plan everyone understands.
