We'll help you understand the loan types, grants and incentives to get you into your First Home

Buying your first home is likely to be one of the largest purchases you'll make. In Australia, First Home Buyers can take advantage of the current market conditions as well as generous Government Incentives (including the first home owner grant) to get on the property ladder.

We can talk you through your various options as well as helping you compare things like buying vacant land vs. an established home. You may also be eligible for the Home Guarantee Scheme which can make a big difference in the type of property you may be able to purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgage?

A fixed-rate mortgage has a set interest rate that remains constant for a specified period, providing stability in monthly repayments. A variable-rate mortgage has an interest rate that can fluctuate based on market conditions, potentially affecting your monthly payments.

What is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)?

LMI is a type of insurance that protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on their loan. It is usually required when the borrower's deposit is less than 20% of the property's value.

How much deposit do I need to buy a home?

The deposit required depends on the lender and the type of loan you're applying for. In Australia, a common rule of thumb is a 20% deposit, but some lenders may accept lower deposits with the inclusion of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

Are there any fees for using a mortgage broker?

Many mortgage brokers in Australia do not charge fees to borrowers. They are compensated by the lenders they work with. However, it's important to clarify this with the broker upfront and understand any potential fees before proceeding.

What documents do I need to provide to a mortgage broker?

Commonly required documents include proof of income (payslips, tax returns), proof of identity (passport, driver's license), employment information, details of existing debts, and statements of savings and assets.

How do mortgage brokers get paid?

Mortgage brokers are usually paid through commissions from the lenders. When a borrower successfully secures a loan through a broker, the lender pays the broker a commission for their services. This commission doesn't typically impact the cost of the loan for the borrower.

How long does the mortgage application process take?

The mortgage application process can vary depending on the complexity of your financial situation, the lender's processes, and market conditions. On average, it can take a few weeks to a couple of months from application to settlement.

How much can I borrow for a home loan?

The amount you can borrow depends on various factors such as your income, expenses, credit history, and the lender's assessment criteria. A mortgage broker can help you determine your borrowing capacity based on your individual circumstances.

Why should I use a mortgage broker instead of going directly to a bank?

Mortgage brokers have access to a wide range of lenders and loan products, offering you a broader choice than what a single bank can provide. They can save you time by comparing multiple options and potentially help you find better terms or rates.

What is a mortgage broker and what do they do?

A mortgage broker is a professional who acts as an intermediary between borrowers and lenders to help people secure home loans. They assess your financial situation, research available mortgage options, and assist in finding the most suitable loan for your needs.
