Greek Mortgage & Finance

Secure the funding you need with an Australian partner who speaks "Greek Bank."

Financing is the #1 hurdle for 70% of our community. The Greek banking landscape is vastly different from the Australian market, and navigating it from 15,000km away can feel impossible. We solve this through a specialised Cross-Border Finance Strategy. By working with Origin Finance in Australia, we help you understand your LVR (Loan-to-Value Ratio) and how your Australian home equity can be used to secure European funding. We manage the translation and “re-packaging” of your Australian PAYG or Self-Employed documents into the specific format Greek lenders require. Our goal is to secure you a competitive Greek mortgage, often around average fixed rates of 3.04% as at January 2026, while protecting your Australian interests.

FAQ

Greek Mortgages for Australians

  • Yes. Greek banks accept Australian income, provided it is translated and verified correctly—which is exactly what we facilitate.

  • Typically, 20% for Greek ID holders, or 35% for Australian residents without Greek citizenship.

  • Greek rates are currently very competitive (average fixed rates of 3.04% as at January 2026), offering a stable alternative to the fluctuating Australian market.

  • Most loans must be repaid by age 70 or 75. We look at specialised structures or co-borrowing for our 50+ clients.

  • Not necessarily, but a Greek ID often grants access to higher tiers. We find the most suitable rate based on your specific profile.
