FIRST HOME BUYERS

A first home loan doesn't have to feel complicated.

There is a lot to think about when you're buying your first property — your deposit, borrowing capacity, government support, loan repayments, upfront costs and the type of home loan that fits your circumstances.

At Ezy Finance Deals, we take the time to understand your situation, explain the options clearly and help you prepare for the next step. You don't need to know everything before you speak with us.

From “Can I afford it?” to “Here are my options.”

We'll help you turn your goals and financial position into a clearer borrowing strategy, so you can search for property with a more realistic budget in mind.

YOUR DEPOSIT

How much deposit do you really need?

There isn't one deposit figure that works for every first home buyer. The amount you need can depend on the property, lender, loan structure, your financial position and any eligible government scheme or family support.

A larger deposit can reduce your borrowing requirement, while some eligible buyers may be able to purchase with a lower deposit. We'll look at your circumstances before recommending a pathway.

01

Genuine savings

Regular savings history may help demonstrate your ability to manage future repayments, depending on lender requirements.

02

Family assistance

Some buyers receive a genuine gift or may have access to a family guarantee structure where eligible.

03

Other assets

Certain investments or available equity may be relevant to your overall lending position.

04

Eligible schemes

Government-supported programs can have specific eligibility, property and income conditions. We can help you understand what may apply.

UNDERSTANDING LMI

A smaller deposit doesn't always mean you have to wait.

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is commonly associated with higher-LVR lending. It protects the lender rather than the borrower and can add to the cost of a loan.

Depending on your circumstances, there may be ways to reduce or avoid LMI, including a larger deposit, an eligible guarantee or a government-supported scheme. We'll explain the costs and trade-offs so you can make an informed decision.

The important part

Don't assume that a particular deposit percentage automatically applies to you. Lender policies and eligibility can vary, so assess your position before making an offer.

GOVERNMENT SUPPORT

There may be help available for eligible buyers.

Government grants, deposit schemes and state-based concessions can change over time and have conditions attached.

First Home Owner Grant

Depending on your state and property type, eligible first home buyers may qualify for a grant. The amount and conditions vary.

Stamp duty concessions

Some first home buyers can access exemptions or concessions on transfer duty, subject to state rules, property value and eligibility.

Deposit support schemes

Eligible buyers may have access to government-supported deposit programs. Rules, caps and participating lenders apply.

Government programs and eligibility criteria can change. We recommend confirming current requirements before relying on any grant, concession or scheme.
BUDGET BEYOND THE DEPOSIT

Your deposit isn't the only cost to plan for.

A realistic first-home budget should allow for the costs that come before and after settlement. Some costs depend heavily on your property, state and loan.

CHOOSING YOUR HOME LOAN

The lowest rate isn't the only thing that matters.

A suitable first home loan should fit the way you expect to manage your money. Depending on your circumstances, features such as an offset account, redraw, extra repayments or flexible repayment options may be important.

Extra repaymentsPotentially pay your loan down sooner, subject to the loan terms.
Offset accountEligible savings can help reduce interest charged on your home loan.
RedrawAccess to eligible additional repayments may provide flexibility.
Repayment flexibilityConsider fixed, variable or other structures around your needs.

What Our Clients Say

FIRST HOME BUYER FAQ

Questions, answered.

There is no single deposit amount that applies to every buyer. Your required contribution depends on the property, lender, loan structure, your financial position and whether you qualify for any relevant scheme or guarantee.

Some lenders and eligible government-supported programs may allow lower-deposit purchases. Lower-deposit lending can have additional requirements or costs, so your circumstances need to be assessed before deciding what is appropriate.
