Buying your first home

Buying your first home can be an exciting time. There can also be a lot of new information and important decisions to make, so it's good to start with the basics to make sure you have everything covered.

As it’s your first time in the housing market it doesn’t hurt to get a bit of help. By asking your parents or guardians to act as guarantor - you may be able to borrow up to 100% of the purchase price of your first home, just so long as you’re living in it. We also know that when you’re starting out, money can be a little tight. So if you can’t afford the repayments over 30 years, we also offer a 40 year term, which will help to lower your repayments. Plus speak to us about our 95% LVR (Loan to Valuation Ratio) and how you could own your own home from $370* per week.
