What do I need to buy my first home?

When looking to buy your first home, you’ll need the following:

  • A deposit. Usually 20% of your loan amount, or 10% which will require you to pay Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
  • Funds to pay for government and third-party fees
  • Your bank statements
  • PAYG summaries
  • Income statements
  • Details of any other debt or financial responsibilities you currently have

Our self-serve home loan application can be completed independently and at your own pace, so if you’ve checked your eligibility and prepared the documentation you need - get started!

Legal information about our rates
Our home loans are subject to credit criteria and eligibility requirements. Home loan interest rates are for new customers only and can change. Our comparison rates are based on a $150,000 loan amount over a 25 year term. They factor in fees associated with applying for the loan; ongoing fees and fees associated with leaving the loan. Our fixed loans roll to a variable principal and interest rate at the end of the fixed term. If the interest only period is not specified, the comparison rate is calculated on a 5 year period.

WARNING: The comparison rates are true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.
