Buying your first home is a big step. We compare 50+ lenders and explain every option in plain English, so you know exactly what you’re signing up for.
Buying your first home means new terms, new decisions, and a lot of forms, most of it unfamiliar if you haven’t done it before. We explain what each option actually means for you, so you’re making an informed choice, not just following along.
From borrowing power to keys in hand
01
Know your borrowing power.
We factor in your income, expenses, credit history, and deposit size, so you know what you can actually afford before you start looking.
02
Explore low-deposit options.
Guarantor loans, lender-specific exceptions, and government schemes can reduce or remove the need for Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). We’ll tell you what you’re likely to qualify for.
03
Check what you’re eligible for.
Stamp duty concessions and other first home buyer schemes vary by state and change over time. We confirm what currently applies to you and walk you through the eligibility requirements.
04
Get pre-approved.
Pre-approval gives you a clear budget and lets you make an offer with confidence, which strengthens your negotiating position.
