    I know St George were allowing it at one point provided there was 5% genuine savings. Not too sure if it's still something they would do.

    All of the above + carry back from the vendor and/or higher LVR (using LMI) come to mind.

    Also, trust you're keeping in mind that in addition to the deposit you'll also need circa 5% for purchasing costs, yeah?

    Best wishes!

    Liberty do those kinds of loans assuming servicing remains healthy. I would suggest a Westpac unsecured LOC they go up to $35K
