For many would-be first home buyers, the ongoing cost of their rent can be a barrier to saving a sufficient deposit for their home loan. Many lenders recognise this and are giving first home buyers a lower barrier to enter by offering home loans with lower deposits.
How low deposit home loans work
Low deposit home loans allow home buyers to borrow up to 95% of the value of their new home, as well as up to 2% more to cover the cost of Lenders Mortgage Insurance.
You will still need to have some savings, as well as a stable income to prove you can service the loan.
Other options
There are several other ways to get a loan without a large deposit. Some lenders can also:
- Recognise regular rental payments as part of your genuine savings requirement.
- Accept a pledge from a family member which potentially allows you to borrow 100% of the value of your new home.
