Questions about your first home loan? We’ve got answers!
What is a first home buyer loan?
A first home buyer loan is a mortgage specifically designed for individuals purchasing their first home. It often comes with benefits like lower deposit requirements, government grants, or exemptions from certain fees. At BE Astute, we help you navigate the various loan options available to ensure you get the best possible deal for your first home purchase.
How much deposit do I need as a first home buyer?
Typically, first home buyers need a deposit of 5-20% of the property value. However, some loans may require a smaller deposit, especially if you’re eligible for government schemes. We can help you determine the minimum deposit needed based on your financial situation and available incentives.
What government grants or schemes are available for first home buyers?
In Australia, first home buyers may be eligible for benefits such as the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) and stamp duty concessions. There are also schemes like the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS), which allows you to buy with a lower deposit without paying Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI). Our brokers ensure you’re aware of all relevant grants and schemes to help you maximise your savings.
Can I get a first home buyer loan with a low credit score?
While having a good credit score increases your chances of securing a favourable loan, you can still obtain a home loan with a low credit score. Some lenders offer products designed for buyers with less-than-perfect credit. At BE Astute, we explore all options to find a suitable loan that meets your needs, even with a lower credit score.
How much can I borrow as a first home buyer?
The amount you can borrow depends on several factors, including your income, expenses, deposit size, and current debts. Lenders assess your financial position to determine how much they’re willing to lend. Our team helps you calculate your borrowing power and secure the right loan to fit your budget and lifestyle.
What types of loans are available for first home buyers?
First home buyers can access various loan types, including fixed-rate loans, variable-rate loans, interest-only loans, and split loans. Each option has its advantages and suits different financial situations. We’ll guide you through these choices to help you find the right loan structure for your needs.
What are the benefits of using a mortgage broker for first home buyer loans?
Working with a mortgage broker gives you access to a wider range of lenders, expert advice, and support throughout the loan process. At BE Astute, we simplify the complexities of buying your first home, provide personalised loan comparisons, and handle negotiations with lenders, ensuring you get the best deal.
What is stamp duty, and do I need to pay it as a first home buyer?
Stamp duty is a tax levied on property purchases. As a first home buyer, you may be eligible for full or partial stamp duty exemptions, depending on your state or territory and the value of the property. Our brokers ensure you’re fully aware of any exemptions or discounts that apply to you, helping reduce your upfront costs.
What is Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI), and do I need to pay it?
Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is typically required if your deposit is less than 20% of the property value. It protects the lender in case you default on the loan. Some government schemes may waive this requirement for first home buyers. We assess your eligibility and guide you through options to avoid or reduce LMI costs where possible.
How long does it take to get approved for a first home buyer loan?
The approval process for a first home buyer loan usually takes 2-4 weeks, depending on your lender and financial situation. At BE Astute, we ensure the process runs smoothly by managing all paperwork, communicating with lenders, and keeping you updated every step of the way, so you can move into your new home sooner.
