5% deposit is no longer a necessity with some lenders !
As you are probably aware, the majority of lenders make it compulsory for 5% of genuine savings over a minimum 6 month period. As the cost of living has increased for a lot of us, and the prices of property have increased quite dramatically over the last 2 years, it is becoming increasing more difficult to get to that 5%. However to make it easier for you to buy your first property, there are a new range of loans available which won't require this and here are some of those options:

 
 

Option 1: NO DEPOSIT HOME LOANS – If you have stable employment history of at least 1-3 years of full time employment and a good credit history, some lenders will look at financing 100% of the purchase price of the property. Other costs such as the loan and govt costs can be partially funded by the first home owner's grant. Depending on the purchase price of your home, you may not have to use much of your own money at all. We can go through all these calculations with you and determine an estimate of what your contribution will be. Residential properties for this type of home loan can be houses, townhouses, units or villas. The property must be located in prime metropolitan areas as shown.

Option 2: FAMILY EQUITY ASSISTANCE – A new popular option for first home buyers looking to save on mortgage insurance and possibly increase the amount they can borrow is by using a portion of the equity in your parent's property. If your parents own their home outright or have a substancial amount of equity in their property, they can help. Mortgage insurance is one of the biggest costs when buying your first property especially if your looking at borrowing 95% of the purchase price. However if your parents can assist with providing sufficient equity to cover the 20% of the purchase price this will help save on that cost. Conditions and guarantees apply dependent on lender. The guarantee can be for security only, serviceability only or a combination of both.

Option 3: REDUCED LENGTH OF 5% SAVINGS TO 3 MONTHS – Some lenders have reduced the 5% genuine savings requirement down to 3 months. This will allow you to look at purchasing a property prior to the normal 6 month waiting period. Also some lenders will look at capitalizing the mortgage insurance to make it easier with your deposit.

For more information contact us by email or phone. These are some of the latest options available to you. We will take the time to help you understand all the different interest rates, fees and charges, and terms and conditions available. We want you to be completely satisfied with the options presented to you and that you will be confident in your decision of which loan you choose best suits your needs.
