Frequently asked questions

Typically we recommend having a deposit of at least 20% of your property price, (deposits under this mark usually incur Lenders Mortgage Insurance costs of up to 4% of the property price) however, there are ways around this:

  1. First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS) — under this scheme eligible first home buyers can build or purchase their home with a deposit of as little as 5% thanks to the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC) guaranteeing up to 15% of the property’s value.
  2. Family Security Guarantee — a family member can act as a guarantor to secure your deposit, making up the remaining balance to get you to 20%. They don’t need to hand over any money, just put up cash or equity as security against your deposit.

Generally, we don’t recommend borrowing any more than 80% of the price of your property. If you borrow over the 80% mark you’ll be required to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

There are several different types of property loans including:

  • Fixed-rate — Fixed-rate home loans allow you to lock in your current interest rate when you settle the loan.
  • Variable — Variable home loan rates fluctuate based on the Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate.
  • Interest-only — Interest-only loans require you to only pay the interest and no capital on the loan. They typically have a limited loan term of no more than 5 years.
  • Split rate loans — A split rate loan combines both fixed and variable portions of the loan.
  • Low doc — Low doc loans are for those who might struggle to provide sufficient paperwork to support a traditional loan (such as self-employed people).

Mortgage broking is a commission-based industry, with banks paying the mortgage broker. Our mortgage broking costs also include…

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a fee paid by borrowers when borrowing more than 80% of the purchase price of a property. This insurance is to protect the lender if the borrower is unable to pay the loan. This fee can either be paid upfront or if the lender allows it, be added to your loan. LMI ranges from $800 up to around 4% of the loan amount.
