Don’t quite have your deposit ready? Great news! If you’re a first home buyer or don’t have large deposit you may be eligible for our range of Low Deposit Home Loans.
What does this mean?
You could potentially borrow up to 97% of the value of your chosen home. This could save you years of trying to put together a bigger deposit.
Plus, receive a low rate as part of our range of Low Deposit Home Loans.
Eligibility
To be eligible for one of our Low Deposit Home Loans you must be:
- Borrowing at least $150,000
- Have 5% of the value of the property in savings plus purchase costs.
To calculate the purchase costs, check out our buying and selling costs calculator so you have an idea.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance
It’s important to keep in my mind that you will need to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if you take out any of our Low Deposit Home Loans. LMI is a fee when your Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) is over 80%, and it's usually added to your total loan amount, so you don't have to pay it out of pocket.
Quick and easy application
Our paperless application makes it simple for you to apply online, over the phone or in person.
We can come to you!

When you're buying or building a home or apartment you intend to live in, it's called an owner occupied property. This includes holiday homes that you don’t rent out and purchases of land on which you intend to build on, to live in. When you're applying for a home loan, you'll need to specify whether you're applying for an owner occupied loan or an investment loan. This distinction can change the interest rate options and loan features available to you.

The LVR is the loan amount as a percentage of the total value of the property. For example, if you are borrowing $280,000 to purchase a house valued at $350,000 then your LVR is 80%. The maximum LVR that you can borrow up to depends on several factors including the type of loan, the loan amount that you’re applying for and your capacity to make repayments.
Providing you redraw a minimum of $500 at a time, you can redraw excess funds at any time for no fees. To find out more visit the Compare Home Loans page.
