Expert review

The HSBC Home Value Loan can be used to purchase a residential property. This loan is also an option for borrowers who are looking to refinance, with HSBC's streamlined "Fast and Easy Refinance Process". When the documents are returned from the customer, HSBC intends to have the loan settled on the same day or the next business day.

With this product, you can borrow between $50,000 and $15,000,000. You can take out the home loan with a term up to 30 years and can borrow up to 90% of the property's value.

About this loan

What are the features and benefits of the HSBC Home Value Loan?

  • Extra payments. You can make additional repayments towards your loan without penalty, allowing you to minimise the interest payable over the life of your loan and reduce your loan term.
  • Redraw facility. The redraw facility means that you're able to access any of the extra funds you have deposited towards your home loan. Your first redraw will be free, but subsequent redraws will cost $20 each after this. However, you can make unlimited free redraws online.
  • Portability. The portability feature gives you the flexibility to transfer your home loan in the event that you move property. This means you can save on application and other mortgage fees by maintaining your HSBC Home Value Loan.
  • Flexible repayment schedule. With the HSBC Home Value Loan, you can choose from a weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayment schedule.
  • Split Loan option. This option lets you to split your loan into both variable and fixed rate portions. When you apply for the HSBC Value Loan you get the option of having three splits for free.
  • Customer service. When you apply for the HSBC Home Value Loan, you'll be paired with a personal Relationship Manager who will help you through the entire process and answer any questions that you may have.

What fees and charges come with this loan?

  • Establishment fee $0. HSBC charges an establishment fee to cover the cost of setting up your loan. This fee is currently waived for the Resident Owner Occupier only loan.
  • Loan settlement fee $0. The loan settlement fee covers the administration and legal costs of settling your loan.

HSBC needs to pay for an independent home valuation before you can finalise the loan. This helps HSBC understand the value of the property and helps to determine how much you can borrow and whether mortgage insurance is required.

How to apply

If you believe the HSBC Home Value Loan is right for you, click on the green 'Go to site ' or 'Enquire' button. You will then be redirected to the HSBC website or to a mortgage broker page.

Then you can discuss your eligibility for this loan with a HSBC lending specialist or a qualified mortgage broker.

Required documentation

  • Income and expenditure. You'll need to provide details of your gross income and your monthly expenses, such as pay slips, tax returns and bank statements.
  • Loan structure and purpose. You'll be required to specify details including the number of loans, loan type, loan term and the interest-only term (if applicable).

      Hi Michael,

      Thanks for getting in touch!

      You can check our guide on how you can refinance while unemployed. It is best to speak with a mortgage broker to help you understand your borrowing capacity. They should be able to take your personal circumstance into account and offer you a range of borrowing options.

      Hope this helps!

      With care,

    I am an Australia PR with overseas (not Australia) income. Previously I did a check with Westpac and they only allow 30% deposit 70% loan although they can lend me up to $1.2m.
    I am looking to get a place Melbourne for around $500K.
    Can I check if they are any home loans that allow 20% deposit instead of 30% for PRs with overseas income? I work for an MNC (oil major) by the way.
    Thanks

      Hi Kai,

      Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. :)

      I understand you are looking for a home loan provider that will consider foreign income. According to our guide on how foreign income is treated, “a lender will need to assess your income and earnings capacity before approving your loan application, but each lender has its own approach to foreign income. Most Australian lenders will only accept a certain percentage of your foreign income, which allows a lender to protect itself against factors such as fluctuating exchange rates.” You may want to check with ANZ and HSBC as they have dedicated loans for expatriates or seek help from specialist lenders and mortgage brokers that are much smaller than international banks who can help you get a mortgage.

      I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.

      Have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Joshua

      Hi Rajat,

      Thanks for your question.

      Your approval for a home loan with a 10% deposit would depend on the lender’s discretion and whether you also meet other requirements aside from your tax return and income. Another factor that the lender will also consider is your creditworthiness. If you like to check your options for a home loan, please refer to these guides:

      1. A low deposit home loan. This contains a guide to know how small can your deposit be plus lenders that offer as low as a 5% deposit.
      2. A guarantor home loan. It explains how a guarantor home loan works, who can be your guarantor, and the benefits of this type of home loan.
      3. A self-employed borrower. You can find out what does low-doc home loan mean, loans available to a self-employed borrower, etc.

      If you’ve reviewed the guides and considered a lender, please get in touch with the lender directly to discuss your options. Alternatively, you can speak to a mortgage broker who can help you with your borrowing options as they can consider your current situation.

      I hope this has helped.

      Cheers,
      May

      Hi Krisztina,

      Thanks for your question.

      The HSBC Home Value Loan is available for refinancing at 80% LVR. However, as we do not represent HSBC, we are unable to assess if your property will qualify.

      Please do check if you meet the eligibility criteria listed above. You may also directly contact HSBC to directly discuss your eligibility.

      Alternatively, you may compare other home refinancing loans. And if you need expert advice on the best option for your situation, you may also get in touch with a mortgage broker to assist you.

      Cheers,

      Hi Vi,

      Thanks for your question.

      The home loan options being offered to temporary Australian residents are typical mortgage packages that would be available to Australian citizens or permanent residents. The main difference being the cap on the amount you are allowed to borrow and the down payment that is required. Depending on your job circumstances you may be able to qualify for the maximum LVR of HSBC Home Value Loan. You may have to directly get in touch with HSBC to discuss your eligibility.

      Alternatively, you may also compare other home loan products featured on our website. To get assistance in exploring your options, consider speaking to a mortgage broker.

      Hi Gerard,

      Thanks for your question.

      Unfortunately, we are unable to give a repayment quote for interest only HSBC Home Value Loan. You may have to directly contact HSBC to get a quote.

      Alternatively, you may also compare other interest-only home loans listed on our website.

      Finally, feel free to speak to a mortgage broker who can give you more personalised pieces of advice.
