Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Short, practical answers to common questions about first home buyer home loans.
How much deposit do I need?
Deposit requirements vary based on the lender, property type, and your overall financial position. We can help you understand what may be needed and what other upfront costs to allow for.
Should I get pre-approval before making an offer?
Pre-approval can help you understand your budget and prepare earlier, but whether it is the right step depends on your circumstances and timing. We can explain how it works and when it may be useful.
Can I use a first home buyer grant or scheme?
Some buyers may be able to access grants or schemes, depending on the relevant rules and their situation. We can help you understand how these may fit into your planning without assuming eligibility.
How do lenders work out my borrowing power?
Lenders typically review income, expenses, debts, dependants, and their own assessment criteria. Because policies vary, borrowing power can differ from one lender to another.
What costs should I allow for besides the deposit?
Besides the deposit, buyers often need to consider costs such as stamp duty where applicable, legal or conveyancing fees, inspections, and lender-related fees. The exact costs depend on the property and your circumstances.
Can you help compare different lenders?
Yes. We can help compare lender options, loan features, and application considerations so you can make a more informed decision based on your needs.
