The first home buying process
Tell us a bit about yourself, your needs and home loan preferences. We’ll ask about income, expenses, credit history, employment history and any current loans. We’ll also assess your eligibility for various government schemes such as First Home Buyers Grant.
Once we have a view of your financial situation, your broker will then negotiate competitive finance from our wide range of lenders and present you with the best options for your needs.
Once you’ve selected a lender, we do all of the legwork for you. Preparing the application and gathering any other necessary documentation. We also prepare and apply for all grant applications on your behalf.
From here we’ll do the heavy lifting for you. Liaising with the lender, keeping you updated on your loan’s progress. Plus we are available to answer any questions you might have along the way.
Your chosen lender will assess your application and your ability to pay back the loan amount. Once approved your loan, and you, can move towards settlement. We’ll meet again to explain your loan in full and providing you’re comfortable with everything, run you through which documents need to be signed.
The final and most exciting step. We liaise with your conveyancer and/or solicitor to organise a settlement date with the lender. Giving you the time to celebrate your big milestone.
Concessions and grants for first home buyers
It will be no surprise to you that making that first leap onto the property ladder is quite often the hardest one. The government recognises this and provides a number of grants and concessions to first home buyers, at both the federal and state level.
We keep up-to-date with what is available as first home buyer mortgage brokers in Melbourne as well as what is on offer around the country. Some of the concessions available may include the First Home Owners Grant (FHOG), First Home Loan Deposit Scheme, Stamp duty exemptions and reduced Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
Your eligibility will vary depending on the state or territory you are looking to buy in. So it’s always a good idea to chat to our experts first, to make sure you are taking advantage of all that is on offer.
