💡Negative gearing is changing — here’s what you need to know.

Following the 2026 Federal Budget, the Government has proposed limiting negative gearing to new residential builds from 1 July 2027.

🏠 What’s the goal?

To improve housing affordability and support first home buyers by reducing investor tax advantages on existing homes and encouraging investment in new housing supply.

In short:
➡ Existing properties held before 12 May 2026 are expected to be grandfathered
➡ Established properties bought after that date may no longer allow rental losses to be offset against wages or salary
➡ Unused losses may be carried forward
➡ The changes have been announced, but are not yet law

This is a significant proposed reform that could reshape property investment decisions in Australia.

💡Thinking about a fixed-rate home loan?

Fixed rates can be a great option if you want repayment certainty while rates are moving around. Before you lock one in, it’s worth checking the comparison rate, any upfront or ongoing fees, and what happens if you need to refinance or pay out the loan early (break costs can be significant).

Are you leaning fixed, variable, or a split loan right now?

💡Are you paying a "loyalty tax" on your home loan? 🏡💸

Many mortgage holders don’t realise banks often charge loyal customers higher interest rates than new ones. If you’ve stuck with the same lender, you could be forking out thousands more over time – just for being loyal!

Banks lure new customers with low rates and special deals, but existing clients can see their rates creep up. Don’t let your loyalty cost you. Review your home loan regularly, negotiate your rate, or consider refinancing to save on your mortgage.

Stay smart, keep more money in your pocket, and make your home loan work for you!

💡ANZ has recently become the final major bank to join the Lender panel for the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme (formerly known as the Home Guarantee Scheme).

In addition to the Big Four banks, several smaller banks and non-bank lenders are participating in the scheme, providing greater choice and enhanced accessibility for home buyers across Australia.

Further lenders are expected to join the panel over the course of 2026, with updates to be reflected on the First Home Buyer website as new lenders commence accepting applications.

This scheme allows eligible first home buyers to purchase a property with a deposit as low as 5%, without the requirement for Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

Our team holds accreditation with multiple lenders currently involved in the scheme. With extensive experience in First Home Buyer transactions, we are well-positioned to guide and assist you throughout your home purchasing process.
