It has become even easier to get into your brand-new home with deposits requirements as low as 2%.

Our trusted finance partner, Truevest Finance are proudly supporting the Australian Federal Government’s First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS), New Home Guarantee and Family Home Guarantee that will help buyers struggling to meet the 20% deposit requirements by home loan lenders.

Homebuyers with less than a 20% deposit usually need to pay lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).

Eligible purchasers planning to build a brand-new home or buy an established home will only need to save a deposit as little as a 5% for FHLDS and as little as 2% with the New Home Guarantee or the Family Home Guarantee without having to pay LMI. Using these government deposit schemes, eligible home buyers can save up to $19,235 in lenders mortgage insurance*.

First home loan deposit scheme (FHLDS)

The FHLDS initiative has been created to support eligible first home buyers to purchase their first home sooner. The Australian government has made 10,000 FHLDS available to eligible first home buyers from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022. Under this scheme, part of the first home buyer’s home loan from a Participating Lender will be guaranteed by the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC). The objective is to enable eligible people to purchase their first home sooner with as little as a 5% deposit.

New Home Guarantee

The New Home Guarantee initiative was created to support eligible first home buyers to build or buy a new home and differs to the FHLDS by the higher property price caps available in selected areas.

The New Home Guarantee has been extended with the release of an additional 10,000 places made available from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.

Family Home Guarantee

The Family Home Guarantee was put together to support eligible single parents with at least one dependent child in purchasing a family home, regardless of whether that single parent is a first home buyer or a previous home owner.

10,000 Family Home Guarantees will be made available over four financial years from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2025.
