Bank Deposit vs Low Deposit

Many home buyers will go directly to their bank for home loan advice. But did you know this could limit your options? We compare the banks deposit versus our low deposit.

In this example, let's assume you're a first home buyer and your building a new home worth $600,000. This allows you to take advantage of the First Home Grant and stamp duty concessions.

 

Bank Deposit (without MWC)

Many first home buyers will approach their bank to determine their borrowing capacity and deposit requirements. This is generally the old-school approach, and it may limit your options.

Most banks will require at least 5-10% deposit savings.
Lenders mortgage insurance will also be payable. This protects the lender and it allows you to borrow more towards your home purchase.
Bank requires $59,294 (5% plus+ LMI)*
  • Going to your bank limits you to their loan products and interest rates. They won't tell you if there's a better offer elsewhere.
  • Not all lenders are authorised for the government Home Guarantee Scheme. This scheme allows you to avoid lenders mortgage insurance.
  • Banks generally won't consider the First Home Grant towards your deposit.
  • Your deposit could be higher than it needs to be. This could delay your chance to get into the property market - setting you back trying to save as house prices rise, while also paying rent.

 

 

Low Deposit (with MWC)

Our low deposit strategy connects you to more lenders and allows you to use government grants to your advantage. This combined with our $10,000 deposit boost significantly reduces the savings required.
