What is a low deposit home loan?
In Australia, many lenders require deposits of 10% or even 20%, this combined with existing rent and other living expenses can make saving up for a home seem like an impossible dream. Luckily, there are low deposit home loans available! Low deposit home loans are ideal for first home buyers as they make it much easier to get into the property market much earlier. Instead of wasting money on rent, a low deposit home loan lets homebuyers break into the market with a much lower deposit, usually around 5% but sometimes as low as 2%.
To qualify for a low deposit home loan you don’t even need genuine savings, you could use a windfall like lottery winnings, or if you’re a first home buyer you can even use the First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) as a deposit. This means you can start building your own future much faster, instead of paying off someone else’s mortgage!
