First Home Buyer Loans Melbourne
1. How much deposit do I need as a first-home buyer?

Most lenders prefer a 20% deposit, but many first-home buyers secure a loan with as little as 5% and in some cases even less through government schemes. A broker can help you understand your options and how your deposit size affects your borrowing power and repayments. You can read more about first home loans here.

Depending on your state and circumstances, you may be eligible for incentives such as the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG), stamp duty concessions, or the First Home Guarantee (FHBG). We can help assess your eligibility and guide you through the application process.
Your borrowing capacity depends on factors like income, living expenses, debts, deposit amount, and credit history. A mortgage broker can calculate your borrowing power across multiple lenders so you know exactly what you can afford before you start house-hunting.
First-home buyers should budget for costs such as stamp duty (if applicable), conveyancing, building and pest inspections, loan setup fees, mortgage insurance (LMI if your deposit is under 20%), and moving expenses. We’ll help you map out the full cost breakdown upfront.

Yes-pre-approval gives you clarity on your borrowing limit and shows sellers you’re a serious buyer. It also helps speed up the final approval process once you find the right property.
