Answer to your questions
How much deposit do I actually need to buy my first home?
You don’t need 20% to get your foot in the door. While 20% helps you avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), many of our clients start with as little as 5% (or even 2% for eligible clients). By leveraging the First Home Guarantee (FHBG), we can often help you bypass LMI entirely, saving you thousands upfront and getting you into your home years sooner.
