Saving For A Deposit

It’s no secret that it’s getting harder and harder to get into your first home. The good news is that for many there are more ways to get into the property market than they think. The government does want more Aussies to actively participate in the nation’s property market, and particularly younger Australians. While the government schemes, grants and incentives are great, the main issue remains the same – how do you save all that money for a house deposit?

START SAVING AND SET A TIMELINE

Be realistic with your savings goals, and start small if you have to – ANYTHING, is better than nothing. Open an account that you can’t touch or transfer funds out of easily such as a term deposit and watch your nest egg grow. Set goals with how much you want to save by, so that you’re accountable for the results. 

First home buyers - icon 2

REDUCE YOUR EXPENSES

Look for ways to reduce your discretionary spending. Cut back on non-essential items and activities, such as eating out, entertainment, or subscription services. Consider negotiating better deals for utilities, insurance, or internet services to lower your monthly expenses.

GET ON TOP OF DEBTS

Consolidating your debts is one of the most straightforward ways to get on top of existing loans or debts, and ultimately lowering your interest rates. One credit card stashed for emergencies isn’t going to make or break your chances of a loan approval, but a large car loan or multiple miscellaneous debts might. 

TAKE ADVANTEGDE OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT

The Federal and State Governments of Australia want you to buy a house, as you will directly impact the economy in a positive fashion. Consider monetary benefits available such as the First Home Buyers GrantHomeBuilder Grant or even the First Home Grant – they are in place to help you, and it all adds up.

INCREASE YOUR INCOME

While cutting down on your living expenses sometimes doesn’t leave much wriggle room for potential savings, increasing your income is an alternative that doesn’t necessarily suck all the fun out of your lifestyle. If you have a creative pursuit that can be turned into a side hustle – go for it. Explore the opportunities around you that could boost your income.

What If I Don't Have A Deposit?

The Power of Mum and Dad

This option has become super common over the last 5 years with houses getting more expensive. This one can allow you to buy a house with ZERO DEPOSIT. Yes, that’s right, you don’t need to have any money saved, however I recommend you get saving a little first even if to prove to yourself you can afford to own property…

Pros for this option:

  • You can get into a property without having a deposit saved
  • You won’t need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance, this often saves around $5,000 – $25,000 straight up
  • Your parent’s property would be putting up a 20% deposit, this means you can access some of the lenders best deals
  • Some lenders will even let you consolidate (pay off) some other debt with this option so your cash flow remains healthy

Cons for this option:

  • Mum & Dad and their property will be accountable for your actions. If you screw up, the bank will come to them to fix the situation
  • There are eligibility requirements for Mum & Dad, we can check these out for you in about 30 seconds
  • That’s about it!

All the above options can work well if they fit your circumstances, I often find people would rather not use Mum & Dad but when they see the massive benefits many of them decide to ask the question. I will always arm clients with all the info they need and guide them through these options in much more detail before they decide on a strategy.

Government Help - The Home Guarantee Scheme

The Home Guarantee Scheme (HGS) is an Australian Government initiative to support eligible home buyers to buy a home sooner.

How it works: The government make a guarantee to the Participating Lender of up to 15% of the value of a home loan under the First Home Guarantee which means you do not need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

Clients Feedback

Highly recommend Quinto and the team at Q financial.

Quinto went above and beyond to assist me with home loan planning, future planning, putting me in touch with other experts to assist me with my investment journey as well as sourcing and securing the best product for me.

Smooth communication and always available to answer any questions over the phone and in person.

Excellent experience from start to finish.
We have been working with Quinto for many years now. We have used Q Financial for our original home loan, then for a building loan when we knocked down and rebuilt our house and he has just secured us a new home loan with a better interest rate that better suits our needs. Always answers my calls and questions and always super helpful.
Quinto from Q Financial is the reason I am in my own home today! Him and his team work tirelessly with me over a good couple years to make my dream a reality! He made himself available around my crazy schedule and was always free for a quick call or text to clarify things. I cannot recommend him enough if you are looking at getting across the line!
We used Q Financial for our home loan a couple of years ago and again recently to consolidate a personal loan. Always happy with their expertise and service. Highly recommend them
Great experience with Q Financial.

Communication was clear and precise and they got us a package that suited our needs going forward.
Whole process was smooth and hassle free and I highly recommend them.
Quinto was very helpful and great at communicating. I am very happy with the service.
BEWARE

This company took all of our information and then GHOSTED us. They knew we were on a short deadline to achieve finance and they strung us a long. Once I uploaded my documents to their site, I haven't heard back from them. I sent texts, left voice message and NOTHING.
I am now concerned this is a scam site and my details are stolen.

Avoid this company, biggest time wasters.

His skill in structuring deals means clients not only get an excellent outcome, but also the peace of mind that every possible advantage in the market has been explored and secured.

Thank you to Q Financial for all their help and support. They made the process of purchasing a property completely seamless (this was my first property transaction). I would 100% recommend their services to anyone looking to purchase a home or investment. Thank you!
Quinto and his team were great. Quinto is super friendly, always happy to help, very knowledgable and our home loan application went through very smoothly and quickly.
Highly recommend him.
As a charity our financing options were limited, Quinto from Q Financial helped us obtain a loan approval with a major bank. Throughout the process, Quinto was proactive in keeping us updated and guided us on the documentation of the information the bank requested, this made is easy for us to quickly respond and get the application progressed. He was always available whenever we had questions and was very professional, getting us the best deal out of options available.!
Cant recommend Q Financial enough, from start to finish the process was easy and stress free.
Great to deal with, absolutely recommend.

FAQs on First Home Buyers Home Loans

First, a broker can help you understand the borrowing process and provide guidance on the types of loans that might be suitable for you. They can also help you prepare and organise your financial documentation.

Second, a broker has access to a wide range of lenders and loan products, including those that may not be available to the general public. They can use their industry knowledge and relationships to negotiate with lenders on your behalf and find a loan that meets your specific needs and financial situation. At Q Financial, we can help you get preferential treatment from lenders who can look at your home loan application most favourably!

Third, a broker can help you present your application in the best possible light to lenders. They can highlight your strengths and address any concerns that lenders may have, increasing your chances of being approved.

Mortgage brokers generally don’t charge a fee to borrowers as they receive a commission from the lender when they settle a loan. However, some brokers may charge a fee for their services, so it’s important to ask upfront about any fees involved.

In Australia, mortgage brokers are not allowed to claim that a particular home loan is “the best” on the market. This is because the ASIC does not like this phrase, especially since we do not have access to EVERY lender or product in the country, so there is no substantial evidence that the home loan options we are exposing you to are indeed, the best.

However, we can work with you to find the loan that is most suitable for your specific needs and circumstances. Our job is to assess your financial situation, discuss your goals and preferences, and recommend a range of options from our panel of lenders. Ultimately, the right home loan for you is the one that meets your needs and fits your budget.

Yes, a mortgage broker can still help first home buyers that have bad credit. They have access to specialist lenders who may be able to offer you a loan despite your credit history. However, you may need to pay a higher interest rate or provide a larger deposit to secure a loan.

Here are some grants to buy first home that you can ask your mortgage broker to help you with:
  • First Home Owners Grant Australia (FHOG): This is a one-time grant of up to $15,000 available to eligible first home buyers who are purchasing or building a new home.
  • First Home Buyer Choice scheme: This first home buyer scheme lets borrowers in New South Wales opt out of paying the first home buyer stamp duty upfront in exchange for annual property tax.
  • First Home Guarantee (formerly known as First Home Loan Deposit Scheme): This scheme is designed to help first home buyers purchase a home with a deposit as low as 5% without the need for lenders mortgage insurance.
  • First Home Super Saver Scheme (FHSSS): This scheme allows first home buyers to save for a home deposit within their superannuation fund, providing certain conditions are met.
  • Stamp duty concessions: Depending on which state or territory you’re in, there may be stamp duty concessions or exemptions available for first home buyers.

To be eligible for this Australian first home buyers grant, you must be 18 years or over, a permanent resident or Australian citizen, plan to live in the property as your home for at least six months, and have never previously owned your own home in Australia. However, eligibility also depends on the state or territory you want to buy in, how much you are going to spend, and if you own any property already. If you, or a person you are entering into a joint home loan with, have previously claimed the FHOG, you may not be eligible for it again. In some states and territories, the FHOG can be beneficial when you buy or build a ‘new’ home, which can be a newly built property that hasn’t previously been lived in or sold as a home, or a substantially renovated property.

The mechanics for submitting application to certain grants to buy first home can vary. Specifically, to apply for the First Home Owners Grant, you can either apply through an approved agent or via the FHOG customer portal. If you require the grant for settlement or first drawn down/progress payment, you must lodge your application with the approved agent who is providing you finance. Applicants must lodge within 12 months of settlement or the completed construction date of your new home. You’ll need to complete the First Home Owner Grant (New Homes) Application form if you’re applying through an approved agent.

Buying a house for single person can be tough, especially with our current economic climate that has yet to feel the full impact of the consecutive RBA cash rate hikes. However, the decision to buy a house if you’re single in Australia depends on your personal circumstances, financial situation, and long-term goals. It’s important to consider factors such as your income, expenses, and lifestyle before making a decision.

Buying a cheaper house as a first investment has advantages such as requiring less money to get started and potentially having less downside risk, as well as offering potential positive cash flow and upside potential. However, cheaper properties may be in poor condition and harder to sell, and due diligence is important.
