We understand where you are starting from
Most first home buyers we work with share similar concerns
Information overload.
You have researched online, talked to friends, and now have more questions than answers. Every source seems to say something different.
Fear of making a costly mistake.
This is likely the biggest financial decision of your life. Getting the wrong loan or missing out on a grant you were entitled to feels like a risk you cannot afford.
Uncertainty about what you can actually borrow.
Online calculators give you a number, but is it realistic? Will a bank actually approve that amount for your situation?
Confusion about the process.
Pre-approval, conditional approval, unconditional approval, settlement. What happens when, and what do you need to do at each stage?
First home buyer grants and schemes
Several government schemes exist to help first home buyers enter the property market. Eligibility depends on your circumstances, the property you are buying, and when you apply.
First Home Owner Grant (FHOG)
A one-off payment for eligible first home buyers purchasing or building a new home. The grant amount and eligibility criteria vary by state. In NSW, the grant is currently available for new homes up to a certain value.
Eligibility requirements apply. We confirm current details when assessing your situation.

Stamp duty concessions
First home buyers may be eligible for reduced stamp duty or full exemptions depending on the property value and type. In NSW, concessions apply to both new and established homes below certain price thresholds.
Thresholds and concession rates can change. We calculate what applies to your specific purchase.
First Home Guarantee
A federal government scheme allowing eligible first home buyers to purchase with as little as 5% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). The government guarantees the difference between your deposit and the standard 20%.
Places are limited each financial year. We assess whether you may be eligible.
First Home Super Saver Scheme (FHSSS)
Save for a home deposit inside your superannuation fund, potentially with tax advantages. Voluntary contributions can be withdrawn for a first home purchase, subject to limits and conditions.
We recommend speaking with a financial adviser about the tax implications.
Family Home Guarantee
A scheme supporting eligible single parents or single legal guardians to buy a home with as little as 2% deposit. Income limits and property price caps apply.
