My partner and I are in the process of purchasing a property in QLD. We are borrowing 100%. I joint own another home with my mother that I am using as security. Because I am doing this, she has to go guarantor. At the very beginning before we applied to proceed with the loan. The mobile banker explained that my mother has to guarantor 20%. Once the loan gets down to 80% LVR, she will automatically be released from being guarantor.
Time has passed and we received approved finance, making our contract unconditional.
A week before settlement my mother recieved her contract to sign and written in her contract says that she is guarantoring the ENTIRE loan amount for the life of the loan.
Now she refuses to sign it because that wasn't what she agreed to, etc...
I've contacted the bank endlessly and they keep leading me around in circles and im not getting anywhere with getting this resolved.
Settlement is tomorrow! There is no way we will have the loan money by then and now I am freaking out about what to do.
Our solicitors advised us to go through other finance and extend another few weeks, which will cost us. I don't want to go through all this hassle again just to be put in the exact same position OR get near settlement again and have my mother refuse to sign again.
My partner and I feel comfortable forfeiting the sale, running the risk of being sued and keep fighting the bank that messed their contract up.
Through my eyes it was such a simple error for the bank to fix.
I want to fight them on this because they have caused my family tonnes of stress.
Help, what should I do?
