FIRST HOME BUYER GUIDE

It's crucial to limit the number of credit inquiries on your credit file, as each application can impact your credit score. At Rarebreed, we match your financial profile with banks to improve your chances of approval.
We'll help you understand what you need to save for your deposit and purchase costs, including government fees and legal expenses. We'll also provide options to show how property prices affect your savings and home loan choices.
Most major banks now require an 8% minimum deposit to purchase a property. This includes mortgage insurance premiums, which can be as high as 3% for loans over $300k. However, at Rarebreed we offer special home loan packages for first home buyers with just a 5% deposit.
Some banks consider your rental history as an alternative to genuine savings, allowing you to use gifted funds from family and additional savings. You'll need to provide 6-12 months of good rental history through a property manager or onsite manager.
WA offers stamp duty concessions for first home buyers, with no stamp duty on properties up to $430,000. There are discounts for properties between $430,001 and $530,000. You can also receive a $10,000 First Home Owners Grant for house and land packages or new property purchases.
Family equity home loans are gaining popularity, enabling you to buy a property with a minimal deposit. This option eliminates the need for mortgage insurance, typically saving over $10,000 compared to a 95% home loan.
With a family equity home loan, the bank lends only 80% of the property's value, eliminating the need for mortgage insurance. The remaining balance is secured using one of your parents' properties as a limited guarantee. Our mortgage brokers at Rarebreed can guide you and explain the process to your family.
We have assisted numerous clients in securing family equity home loans, even if they already have some savings. If your parents own their property or have a small mortgage, they may be able to assist. We are here to discuss this option with your family and guide you through the process.
