Frequently Asked Questions

How much home loan can I borrow?

Use the Borrowing calculator to work out your borrowing power. The value is calculated using a number of different factors such as your income, length of employment in your current job, how much you spend and the value of your deposit. Lenders calculate this slightly differently which is why the calculator provides you with a range. A mortgage broker can obtain a borrowing preapproval for you if you need a more precise answer to how much home loan I can borrow.

How much is a deposit on a house?

Most mortgage lenders require a 20% deposit, otherwise, you may be subject to paying Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) which can cost you thousands of dollars. If you are a first-home buyer, you may be eligible for government grants or relief that enable a deposit of as little as 5%.
