First Home Buyer FAQs

Standard lenders require at least 5% genuine savings plus costs (stamp duty, legal fees). If your deposit is under 20%, Lenders Mortgage Insurance usually applies - or you can explore a Family Guarantee using a parent's property as security to avoid LMI altogether.

The FHOG in SA provides up to $15,000 for first home buyers purchasing a new home or land to build. Eligibility rules apply - we confirm your entitlement as part of our service.
