First Home Buyers FAQ's from a Finance Broker

A 20% deposit is not required for every lending option. The amount you need depends on your circumstances, the property and lender requirements. We can explain potential options, purchase costs and whether lenders mortgage insurance or a government scheme may apply. Eligibility and approval must be assessed.

 

Government grants, deposit schemes and transfer duty concessions may be available to eligible first-home buyers, including self-employed applicants. Eligibility depends on current program rules, your circumstances and the property you intend to buy.

We help you understand which options may apply and the supporting information required. Current requirements should be checked with the relevant government authority before applying.

Pre-approval gives you a clear budget before you start house hunting. It also shows sellers you’re serious, which can make your offer stronger in a competitive market. The process involves a lender assessing your income, savings, and credit history before giving you a conditional approval limit.

Yes. Even if your income comes through a business, trust, or multiple contracts, there are lenders who work with self-employed borrowers. We package your application with BAS, tax returns, and other documents so your true income is recognised.

Some common pitfalls include:

  • Relying on one bank’s offer without comparing.

  • Forgetting to budget for costs like building inspections, legal fees, and insurance.

  • Making an offer before securing finance.

A broker can help you avoid these mistakes and keep the process stress-free.

Borrowing power depends on your income, deposit size, expenses, and debts. As a general guide, most lenders cap repayments at a set percentage of your income to ensure you can manage the loan. We’ll run the numbers for you based on current rates and your personal situation.

It depends on your goals.

  • New builds can qualify for higher grants and may have lower maintenance costs in the early years.

  • Established homes often come with more character and established locations, but may not be eligible for certain grants.

We can help you weigh the pros and cons for your budget and lifestyle.
