Who we are
Aussie Expat Home Loans was founded on a simple goal - to ensure that Australian Expats achieve the best home loan deals they can.
Borrowing as an expat can be tough, but we are here to provide you with expert guidance and advice to help navigate that process as easily as possible.
Each bank in Australia has its own set of rules and policies for assessing applicants living offshore. Some will accept your bonus income while others won’t. Others may shade your overseas income more harshly than the others. Our job is to find the bank that suits your situation, and ensure you get the best deal tailored to your needs.

DIRECTOR
My name is Tim, and I am the founder of
Aussie Expat Home Loans.
I spent 12 years working for a big 4 Australian Bank, and was lucky enough to spend my final year (2017) working in Singapore, helping Expats finance Australian Property back home.
2017 was the year that the major Australian Banks pulled out of Asia, and I started to hear more and more stories from my clients and friends about how difficult it was for them to get loans for their Australian property purchases. I decided I wanted to help do something about it, and from here Aussie Expat Home Loans was born.
I founded Aussie Expat Home Loans with a simple goal - to ensure that Australian Expats were getting the best home loan deals they could.
I am still based in Singapore living the expat dream, and being able to explain Expat life first hand means I am able to find better rates and deals that others can't.
If you have purchased or are looking to purchase Australian property, or would like to review your existing loan structures to ensure you're getting the best rates, I'd love the opportunity to be able to help you.
Please feel free to reach out to me below or book an appointment in my calendar above.
