Your first home. Our expertise.
Buying your first home shouldn’t be confusing.
Most first-home buyers have no idea:
- How much deposit they actually need
- Whether they qualify for a 5% deposit
- Which lenders accept first-home buyers
- What repayments will really cost
- Which suburbs fit their budget
- Which government grants they may be eligible for
That’s where First Home Domain helps.
We simplify the entire process by showing you what may be possible based on your income, deposit and goals, so you can search with confidence instead of guessing.
What Is The 5% Deposit Scheme?
Many Australians believe they need a 20% deposit before they can buy their first home.
In reality, eligible first-home buyers may be able to purchase with as little as a 5% deposit through participating lenders using the Australian Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme.
Depending on your circumstances, eligible buyers may also avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), potentially saving thousands of dollars.
