For many first home buyers, saving for a deposit is often the biggest challenge. Most lenders require a 10-20% deposit, but there are options for lower deposits (as low as 5%) with Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) or government schemes.
Your borrowing power depends on factors like your income, expenses, credit score, and existing debts. We can help assess your situation!
LMI is a one-time fee lenders charge when your deposit is less than 20%. It protects the lender, not the borrower, but can help you buy sooner with a smaller deposit.
A pre-approval is confirmation from a bank that they are willing to lend you the funds needed to buy a property. It helps you understand your budget and makes you a stronger buyer.
