Saving enough money for a home deposit sounds unachievable for many first-home buyers. Contrary to what you may have heard, you don’t always need to have a 20% deposit. To take advantage of today’s favourable market conditions for first home buyers, our First Home Buyer loan has a Family Support option, which means parents can help children purchase their first home by using the equity in their property to guarantee the entire deposit, or a percentage of it.
Using the Family Support option, you may be able to purchase a home with no deposit, avoiding paying lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), which can amount to thousands of dollars.
