Frequently asked questions

Our team has helped many first home buyers through this journey. Here are some of the questions we’re often asked along the way.

Get in touch

What’s the minimum down payment required to buy a home in Australia?

Typically, a minimum of 5-20% of the property’s purchase price is required as a down payment when you apply for a home loan. Some lenders even offer options with as low as 3% down. One of our home loan mortgage brokers can guide you to the best home loans with suitable down payment terms.

What’s the difference between fixed-rate and variable-rate home loans?

When considering new home loan interest rates, it’s important to understand the options. A fixed-rate home loan offers stability with a consistent interest rate, while a variable-rate home loan can fluctuate with market conditions. The choice depends on your financial goals and risk tolerance.

How do I qualify for a first-time homebuyer loan or grant?

Yes, the First Home Owner Grant is available in many Australian states and territories, offering financial assistance to first-time homebuyers. Eligibility for such incentives varies by state, often depending on specific income and property value criteria. To navigate this process and explore pre-approval home loan options, it’s advisable to consult with one of our home loan brokers who specialises in these incentives and can guide you effectively.

What’s the pre-approval process for a home loan?

Pre-approval is a crucial step before house hunting. It involves providing your financial details to a lender, who then assesses your eligibility for a loan. Getting pre-approved for a home loan gives you a clear budget and helps you make informed decisions about home loan financing.

What factors should I consider when choosing between an interest-only home loan and a traditional principal and interest loan?

When deciding between an interest-only home loan and a standard principal and interest home loan, consider your financial goals and circumstances. Interest-only loans may offer lower initial repayments but typically have higher overall interest costs.Typically, interest only loans are only offered for investors, but can be offered to owner occupiers in very select circumstances. Consult with one of our home loan approval experts or use a home loan calculator to evaluate which option aligns best with your needs and budget.
