    Frequently asked questions about First Home Owner Grant for QLD

    The Home Guarantee Scheme is one of three schemes available to First Home Buyers that is to support eligible home buyers to purchase their homes sooner with a deposit as low as 5%. The goal of the scheme is to eliminate the cost of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) that would usually apply to purchasers with less than a 20% deposit. This may lead to a saving of roughly $8,000 to $16,000 which over time can add up to much more as it is commonly added to the loan (capitalised), meaning it’ll also attract interest. For clients participating in this scheme, the Australian Government is offering its assets, guaranteeing up to 15% of the purchase price in case of default, which allows the lenders to remove the need for the first home buyer to incur LMI. This scheme is available for both es
    The Home Guarantee scheme essentially allows First Home Buyers with 5% deposit to borrow the remaining 15% deposit (to make up a 20% deposit) against the Governments asset. In doing so, the bank looks at the applicants as if they have, they 20% deposit to purchase a home and thus removes the need to incur lenders mortgage insurance. First Home Buyers need to apply with lenders that are approved to administer the scheme by the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC).
    You can check your potential eligibility on the NHFIC website for the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme. The following conditions will generally apply:
    • applying as an individual or 2 joint applicants
    • an Australian citizen(s) or permanent resident(s)* at the time they enter the loan
    • at least 18 years of age
    • earning up to $125,000 for individuals or $200,000 for joint applicants, as shown on the Notice of Assessment (issued by the Australian Taxation Office)
    • intending to be owner-occupiers of the purchased property
    • First home buyers or previous homeowners who haven’t owned a property in Australia in the past ten years.
    • Applicants must have a deposit of between 5% and 20% of the property’s value
    • Your maximum property purchase price is subject to the suburb and postcode of your new property. You can check the property price threshold for your property’s suburb and postcode using NHFIC’s property price threshold tool

    There are several other fees that you will incur when you purchase your first home. You need to check with your Conveyancer and Broker/Lender as to what those will be. However, generally these include Conveyancing/Legal fees, Building Inspection, Transfer fees, mortgage registration fees, Council rates adjustment, and possibly a Borrower application fee.

    Haven’t be able to do that? Well, no worries, as some lenders may allow you to use a 12 month rental ledger from a licensed real estate agent as a way to prove your genuine savings. Your Brisbane Home Loans Expert will provide you with detailed advice about each Lender’s requirements
