You Can have it all
Some exciting news was recently announced and it’s got everyone frantically Googling to find their dream home. Federal Government’s First Home Loan Deposit Scheme was recently announced and has generated much excitement, as first-time homebuyers finally have a chance to get into the housing market and purchase their first home. APRA has also reduced the benchmark loan default interest rate by which banks assess your ability to repay the loan from 7.5% down to the banks discretion which is significantly a lot lower given the current interest rate levels over the past 10 years.
First time home buyers won’t need to save a full 20% deposit. They’ll only need to save 5% of the value of the home. Government-owned National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation will then partner with private lenders to put up as much as another 15% of the value of the home to take the deposit to 20%.
The scheme also helps home buyers save as they don’t have to pay Lender’s Mortgage Insurance.
It’s an insurance policy that protects the lender from financial loss if the buyer can’t afford to meet their home loan repayments.
If you’re thinking about purchasing your first home, but also thinking ‘where do I even start?!’ don’t worry. We can put you in touch with some great mortgage brokers that have the lowdown on everything that is available to you as a first home buyer. The first place to start though is with Homestart Finance, a State Government Finance initiative. HomeStart is offering an interest-free deposit gap loan up to $10,000 to assist covering the costs of fees and charges or the gap in putting together a deposit for your loan, as well as loans with as little as 3% deposit plus fees and charges.
Homestart is taking applications from September. Sign up for their helpful seminars to learn more here.
