Buying your first home is likely to be one of the largest purchases you'll make. In Australia, First Home Buyers can take advantage of the current market conditions as well as generous Government Incentives (including the first home owner grant) to get on the property ladder.
We've worked with clients across Australia to access the different first home owner grants (FHOG) as well as the various stamp duty and other concessions that may be available depending on which state you are in. We can talk you through your various options as well as helping you compare things like buying vacant land vs. an established home. You may also be eligible for the Home Guarantee Scheme which can make a big difference in the type of property you may be able to purchase.
Understanding the process to buying your first home is critical as well as understanding how much you can borrow and how much you should borrow. We've been supporting First Home Buyers through the purchasing process for years and can help guide you through purchasing your first home.
We're a proud member of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia and can help First Home Buyers right across Australia. If you're looking to buy your first home, we have the expertise and experience to guide you through the process and make the right choice.
In 60 seconds, understand how much you can borrow to buy your dream home.

Dale was recommended to us by our real estate agent after we experienced shocking service from our bank when purchasing our forever home and we are so glad she did! The level of service from our initial meeting with Dale was exceptional and I left the call no longer stressed about our finance. Within less than a week of signing the loan application forms we had received formal approval of our loan. Fantastic customer service, no question was too hard. We highly recommend Dale and his team.
The best interest rate varies from person to person based on individual circumstances. A larger deposit and borrowing less than 80% of the property value can help secure more favourable rates. However, the interest rate is just one of several factors we consider when making recommendations. Other factors include lending products, service quality, turnaround times, flexibility, and lender policies. Our goal is to ensure our clients don't overpay, so we frequently request better pricing from lenders during regular loan reviews.
Yes, you can. Depending on factors such as GST registration and the length of time your ABN has been established, it may be possible in some cases to use financials from the previous financial year. Some lenders also offer financing without financials, provided your BAS is current and the numbers align. Understanding which lenders are more accommodating to self-employed applicants is crucial, and our expertise can guide you through these types of applications.
In general, no. However, there are exceptions that depend on the complexity of your situation and whether we will receive compensation for our services. Any applicable fees will be transparently communicated to you at an early stage.
The notion that a 20% deposit is mandatory is a misconception. Depending on your circumstances, the minimum deposit is often just 5%. We will advise you on the required deposit during your initial appointment with us. If you have a family guarantor, it may even be possible to buy property with no deposit at all. Feel free to contact us for more information.
In brief, it's all about choice (with access to 50 lenders), service (our unwavering commitment to supporting you, not just for the immediate transaction but also your long-term goals and objectives), and advice (our expert guidance tailored to your unique needs). Banks simply can't compete with our offerings. Moreover, we are obligated to act in your best interests, in line with the recently introduced Best Interest Duty (BID), a requirement that banks cannot fulfill.
To be frank, writing a home loan isn't particularly challenging; our value lies in the ongoing service we offer. We proactively review our clients' loans and portfolios, identifying opportunities for you to expedite debt repayment, amass wealth, or enhance your lifestyle.
Absolutely! Like anything worthwhile, it requires commitment and sacrifice, but the prospect of being debt-free in a decade sounds appealing, doesn't it?
Absolutely, no problem. Our services are entirely digital, and our appointments are primarily conducted online. We have clients from all over Australia, and even some based overseas, so your location poses no hindrance.
Yes, we can. The SMSF (Self-Managed Super Fund) space is currently a trending option, and we work with several lenders who operate in this market. If you already have SMSF lending, when was the last time you reviewed it? We've seen substantial savings for clients who were able to secure significant interest rate reductions. If you haven't had your SMSF loan reviewed, it's in your best interest to schedule a Loan Review with us.
This varies. We can expedite the application process as much as you can, but the timeline ultimately depends on your chosen lender. Some lenders can process applications within hours, while others may take anywhere from 3 to 14 business days. Bank turnaround times can occasionally influence our recommendations, especially if you have a specific timeframe in mind.
Certainly. We encounter many people in a similar situation, whether they're not quite ready but have a goal, or they're unsure about their readiness. We'll guide you every step of the way, speaking in plain language while explaining the necessary steps for obtaining financing.
