Stop renting and start owning. We navigate government schemes, grants, and specialist lenders to help first home buyers enter the market sooner.

Can You Buy with Just a 5% Deposit?

Yes — and many first home buyers are doing exactly that. The Australian Government's First Home Guarantee allows eligible buyers to purchase with a 5% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), which can otherwise cost $15,000–$30,000.

  • 5% deposit accepted by participating lenders
  • No LMI — government guarantees 15% of your loan
  • Both new and established properties eligible
  • No income cap

Deposit Example: $600,000 Home

$120,000 + LMI $0
