Don’t have a 20% deposit?

We’ve got great rates, even if you don’t have a great big deposit.

Exclusively for first home buyers, we offer special discounted rates on loans of $150k+.

You can apply with a deposit as low as 5% (excluding costs). Talk to a lender to learn more.

Keep in mind, when borrowing more than 80% of the value of a property (banks call this an 80% Loan-to-Value ratio, or LVR), you’ll have to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance, or LMI.

LMI is a one-off cost that protects the bank in the event you’re unable to pay your mortgage. It’s added on to your mortgage and you pay it off with the rest of your mortgage over time.

What is pre-approval?

Pre-approval (sometimes referred to as conditional approval) will give you a good idea of how much you may be able to borrow from the bank. If a lender pre-approves you for a loan, they will do so for a specific amount, so you can house hunt properties you know you can afford. It is obligation-free if you're successful, and you can apply more than once.
