FAQ's

How much deposit do I need as a first home buyer?

Traditionally, lenders require a 20% deposit to avoid paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). However, many lenders accept as little as 5–10% with LMI. With the new 5% Deposit Scheme starting October 2025, eligible first home buyers can purchase with just a 5% deposit without paying LMI, as the government acts as guarantor.
