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've worked with clients across Australia to access the different first home owner grants (FHOG) as well as the various stamp duty and other concessions that may be available depending on which state you are in. 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.

I had an amazing experience working with Chris! From start to finish, the process was fast, straightforward, and hassle-free. He took the time to explain everything clearly, guided me through each step, and ensured that all my questions were answered promptly. The loan was sorted out quickly, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service provided. Highly recommend Chris for anyone looking for a seamless, efficient experience with their loan process!
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
