Who Qualifies for Vendor Finance?

Updated: Feb 29

Three weeks ago, I shared a video on “How Property Vendor Financing Works”, so let me sum this up again before I explain if you qualify for Vendor Finance.

What is Vendor Finance?

Property Vendor Finance can help an owner sell their property quickly and for the right price, while offering buyers an alternate way into home ownership.


Vendor finance allows buyers to purchase a property when they do not qualify for a traditional bank home loan. This type of vendor finance arrangement involves a loan or mortgage contract between the owner and the buyer. Essentially, the owner must still meet any home loan obligations they have while the buyer pays them in weekly or monthly mortgage instalments.


The buyer pays a premium interest rate which creates profit for the seller.

Typically, the property title remains with the seller until the buyer pays the final instalment or refinances the property. The contract duration is usually 25 to 30 years but most buyers refinance within 2 to 5 years.

Why do sellers find Vendor Finance attractive?

In this climate where it is harder to get bank loans, Sellers can benefit in two ways by offering a vendor finance option to buyers:

  • Properties sell faster because they appeal to more buyers. Offering an option to pay that appeals to low income earners or self employed expands your pool of buyers. This makes it more likely that you will find a buyer sooner.

  • The owner can sell for a higher price. Rather than discounting to encourage offers, you can offer payment terms that suit the needs of the buyer.

  • It’s especially beneficial to sellers in a buyer´s market that is flooded with similar properties because it provides opportunity to buyers that are excluded from traditional home financing, differentiating your property from others..




How to qualify for Vendor Finance?


Vendor finance is aimed at buyers with low income or self-employed workers or those with a bad credit history. Buyers should be in a good position to take on a loan and should have a good reason for any bad credit history.


Owners should always do due diligence to qualify the buyer. They must satisfy the following criteria to qualify:

  1. The buyer must seek legal advice before purchasing a property using Vendor Finance.

  2. Buyers need a minimum of 2% of the purchase price for the deposit.

  3. On the buyer’s current income, they must be able to afford the repayments of the loan.

Is Vendor Finance legal?

Vendor financing is allowed in Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia, Northern Territory and ACT.
