What our clients say
“We didn’t think we had enough saved. Turns out we qualified for the First Home Guarantee and only needed 5%. We moved in four months after our first call.”
“I was buying alone with a HECS debt and about $45k saved. I assumed I’d be waiting another two years. The broker found two lenders willing to work with my situation.”
“I’d tried my own bank and got knocked back. Home Loan Experts found a lender who understood contract work. Six weeks from first call to settlement.”

Questions First Home Buyers Ask Us All The Time
Do I need a 20% deposit?
No. Some buyers may be able to purchase with a much smaller deposit. For example, eligible buyers may use the First Home Guarantee to buy with as little as 5% deposit without paying LMI.
What is the First Home Guarantee?
It’s a federal scheme that may allow eligible first home buyers to purchase with a 5% deposit without paying LMI. Places are limited, and eligibility rules apply.
How much can I borrow?
That depends on your income, living expenses, employment type, existing debts, credit history, and lender policy. Our calculator gives you a guide, but a broker can give you a more accurate answer.
Is there any cost to use a broker?
Most first home buyers do not pay us a fee. In most cases, we’re paid by the lender if your loan settles.
What’s the First Home Owner Grant?
It’s a one-off grant offered by state governments to eligible buyers, usually when buying or building a new home. The amount and rules vary by state.
What if I’m not ready to buy yet?
That’s completely fine. Many of the most useful conversations happen before someone is ready. Knowing what you may be able to borrow and what support may be available can help you plan the next 6–12 months with more confidence.
