First Home Finance
For first homebuyers, finance can be confusing with so many different options available. With plenty of lingo to get your head around, taking that first step can feel overwhelming. That’s where we can help. If you are in the process of looking into finance or even starting to think about building your own home, it’s important you get the facts, don’t waste time with misinformation!
The first step? Talk to an expert! We’re partnered with Resolve Finance, an award-winning brokerage that puts you first. Leading in all things finance, Resolve can help you navigate the first home finance process. If you are eligible for a loan, we can help you find the right loan to suit you and guide you in the right direction of understanding what documentation is needed.
There are some benefits to sorting out your finance early on in your building journey. Talking to a broker allows you to gain an understanding of your current financial position. This is the first indicator if purchasing a new home is possible or if you require some extra help or time before applying.
Once you have been given the ‘good to go’ from your broker, you will be issued a letter of eligibility, otherwise known as a LOE. This allows you to start placing offers on blocks of land and finding a home design that’s more you.
Having an LOE not only shows the builder/land agent that you are able to purchase a home, but it also provides you with a clear understanding of your budget and how much you are eligible to borrow. This will also provide you with a more defined pathway for securing your first home finance loan, such as a mainstream lender (your big banks).
My Home Plan
Struggling to save a large deposit? Perhaps you have no deposit for your home loan? My Home Plan could be perfect for you. It’s a home savings plan that works for you. Whether you are looking to transition from renting to owning your own home or are a first homebuyer, the My Home Plan team will work with you to get you from no deposit into a home that’s more you.
My Home Plan allows you to work together with a Finance Coach from Resolve Finance to build a unique savings plan that will help you get in to your own home sooner. Without the price tag usually attached to a coaching service.
Low deposit home loans
Found a house and land package that’s a little more you, but worried about having a low deposit for your home loan? Don’t be. There are plenty of low deposit home loans available in WA at the moment to help deliver the dream of home ownership, even if you thought it wasn’t possible.
Our Consultants can help put together a house and land package that’s a little more you, and find a suitable low deposit home loan to go with it.
There are multiple benefits of selecting a house and land package rather than securing design and land separately. From a building perspective, you have all the hard work done for you. The package is put together with a home design that not only suits your needs but the dimensions of the block and guidelines from the council. This avoids any back and forth in finding a design that is right for the block.
Another compelling benefit is the ease a house and land package can create in organising your finance. You are given an upfront total cost for both the land and the build. This means there are no hidden surprises later down the track. You can look at packages within your price range, saving you time and resources. Purchasing land and design as a package also means there is one loan, simplifying the process.
For those wanting to utilise a low deposit home loan, a house and land package is your ideal option. A low deposit home loan is when you have less than 10% of the overall loan as a deposit. This can range from 2% genuine savings to a 10% deposit.
If you are unsure about what is included within a low deposit house and land package, or if you are ready to find a package that’s more you, get in touch today.
