1.     Saving your deposit

To purchase a home, you are required to have a minimum deposit of 5% on your home loan. Once you have worked out how much you can afford in monthly repayments, your Make Wealth Broker can determine your borrowing power.

It’s important to be aware that the more money you can save, the better. Why? With greater savings comes greater buying power as it will help you achieve security with lenders and reduce your monthly repayments. If you have a larger deposit on your home loan, you have more power to seek a lower interest rate and have a wider selection of home loan choices.

2.     Lenders Mortgage Insurance

If you cannot save up a 20% deposit for your home loan, you are required to get Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI). LMI protects the financial institution against financial loss in case of an instance where you are financially unable to repay your loan.

3.     First Home Buyers Grant

This government initiative gives first home buyers $10,000 towards their home loan of $750,000 or less. First home buyers can put this towards their deposit to reduce their home loan and LMI.

4.     Excess costs associated with buying a home

In addition to saving a deposit for the home, you wish to purchase, first home buyers, are also required to cover a range of additional costs. These include:

• Stamp duty
• Legal/ Conveyancing fees
• Home loan application fees
• Pest and building inspections
• Utility connections
• Insurance

When deciding on how much you can afford, you must also take into account the one-off and ongoing fees associated with a first home buyer's home loan in Melbourne.
