Common Questions

First Home Buying FAQs

Typically lenders prefer a 20% deposit to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). However, pathways exist to purchase with as little as a 5% deposit using government schemes or guarantor supports.

Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a fee charged by lenders if your deposit is less than 20% of the property value. It protects the lender (not you) against default risks.

Yes. A family member (typically parents) can pledge equity in their home to act as a guarantor for your loan. This can allow you to secure a mortgage with a 0-5% deposit and entirely avoid paying LMI.

Most bank and lender pre-approvals are valid for 90 days. If you do not purchase a home within this window, they can be rolled over or renewed with updated pay slips.
