Who Is First Home Buyer Support Designed For?
Every first home buyer starts from a different place. These three situations are common.
Are You Still Saving Your Deposit?
Planning early lets you see what you could borrow and what you still need to save. A broker can run those numbers with you.
- See how savings, income and debts affect your borrowing power
- Learn how lenders may treat gifted or family-assisted deposits
- Understand the costs that sit on top of the deposit
Are You Ready to Start Looking at Homes?
A pre-approval shows what a lender may be willing to lend before you bid. It is not a final approval.
- Ask about pre-approval before you start inspections
- Keep your income and savings documents ready
- Stay within a budget you are comfortable with
Which First Home Buyer Loan Melbourne Buyers Can Compare With a Broker?
A broker lays your loan options side by side so you can see the trade-offs. Variable, fixed and split loans all have different features.
- Compare features and fees, not just the rate
- See how repayments may change under each loan type
- Ask about offset accounts and redraw
Which Government Schemes Could Help a First Home Buyer?
Governments support some first home buyers with grants, guarantees and stamp duty concessions. Eligibility rules and limits change, so the details need checking when you buy.
- Whether you qualify depends on your circumstances and the property
- Some schemes apply only to certain property types or prices
- Current details are checked before you sign a contract
- Lender criteria apply alongside any scheme
First home buyer lenders Melbourne buyers can choose from do not all handle schemes the same way. The lender you pick matters.
How Much Deposit Do You Need to Buy Your First Home?
There is no single answer, because it depends on the lender, the property and your circumstances. A larger deposit usually opens more loan options and may reduce the need for lenders mortgage insurance.
- Savings you have built up over time
- Gifted money from family, where the lender accepts it
- Costs on top of the deposit, such as stamp duty and legal fees
