Your deposit

How much do you actually need?

Many buyers aim for 20%, but it’s possible to purchase with less. Low-deposit loans can involve Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), and some government-backed guarantees may help eligible buyers reduce or avoid LMI. Exact options depend on your circumstances and the lender’s criteria.

FAQs

Is this a cash grant?
No. It’s a government guarantee to the lender that can help eligible buyers avoid LMI with a low deposit. You still need to meet full lender credit criteria.
Do I need to be a first-home buyer?
For the main First Home Buyer pathways, yes. Some variants exist (e.g., Family Home Guarantee for single parents/guardians). We’ll confirm what applies to you.
What happens on Oct 1?
Places become unlimited, income caps are removed, and WA price caps rise (Perth to $850k; regional WA to $600k). Lenders still assess normally and scheme/lender eligibility applies.
Can you get me a rate now?
We’ll prioritise structure, features and approval probability first. Once we align on lenders, we’ll present rate + comparison rate with full disclosures.
