First Home Buyers

Your first home, with confidence.

Buying your first property is a big step. We'll walk you through the process, explain the jargon and help you explore finance options in a way that feels clear and manageable.

Guidance from day one

We help first home buyers understand each stage, so there are fewer surprises along the way.

Understanding your budget

Work through what you may be able to borrow and what upfront costs to plan for.

Government schemes & grants

General information about first home buyer schemes, grants and concessions you may be eligible to explore.

Deposit options

Understand how deposit size affects your options, including LMI and guarantor arrangements.

Pre-approval

Help preparing for conditional approval before you start making offers.

Paperwork made simpler

A clear checklist of what lenders typically ask for, and support getting it together.

Through to settlement

We stay in touch through approval and settlement, and are available afterwards.

Before you start

First home essentials

  • Eligibility for government schemes and grants varies by state, property price and personal circumstances, and is set by the relevant government body.
  • Plan for costs beyond the deposit, such as stamp duty (where applicable), legal fees, inspections and moving costs.
  • Building a record of genuine savings and consistent spending can help when lenders assess your application.
  • Pre-approval is conditional — final approval depends on the property and lender assessment.
