Dreams can become realities
First Home Loan Deposit Scheme places still available
There are a number of incentives for first home buyers at the moment – stamp duty exemptions, grants, etc. One of these incentives – the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme – supports eligible first home buyers to purchase a modest home with a deposit of as little as five per cent. Through the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC), the Australian Government guarantees up to 15 per cent of the assessed property value to a participating lender.
There are only 10,000 places available each financial year and in FY19-20, all 10,000 places were reserved within five months. This latest release from 1 July 2020 has been just as popular.
You may have seen in recent media that Commonwealth Bank and NAB are working through their FHLDS waitlists at the moment. If you’re unable to secure a spot for your client with CBA or NAB, there are still places in the Scheme available with any of the other 25 non-major lenders on the FHLDS participating panel.
See a list of the participating lenders on the NHFIC website: https://www.nhfic.gov.au/what-we-do/fhlds/how-to-apply/ .
