Buying your first home is a big step.
We all remember how scary this is and it can be very hard knowing what your lending potential is and what are the right steps to get underway.
The biggest item we see with property prices being the way they are is that saving for a deposit is very hard to achieve, especially when most have moved out of home and are already renting.
Plenty of banks will let you borrow up to 95% of the purchase price to help you with your purchase.
This is where it gets exciting.
Did you know that under the first home guarantee scheme that the government will then cover your lenders mortgage insurance also? This can be in the tens of thousands of dollars in savings. Conditions do apply however we can walk you through these to check if you meet the requirements.
Additionally, depending on the purchase amount and state you are purchasing in we can apply for a stamp duty waiver also.
Don't have genuine savings to equate to 5% deposit? We have potential solutions for this also. Certain lenders will consider your past rental payments in lieu of genuine savings being necessary.
Confusing isn't it?
