Unlocking New Doors: The First Home Guarantee Scheme Explained

In an era where entering the property market seems increasingly daunting for many Australians, the Federal Government's First Home Guarantee Scheme emerges as a beacon of hope. Designed to aid eligible first-time buyers to purchase their dream home sooner, this initiative allows participants to buy with as little as a 5% deposit, with the government guaranteeing up to 15% of the loan. This not only makes homeownership more accessible but also alleviates the burden of needing lenders mortgage insurance.

For those navigating these waters, RJSanderson stands ready to guide you through the eligibility criteria, ensuring you maximise the benefits while aligning with your financial aspirations. Our team is here to provide bespoke advice, tailor-made to your unique situation.

The Victorian Homebuyer Fund: A Closer Look

Specifically tailored for Victorians, the Victorian Homebuyer Fund offers a unique opportunity to reduce the entry barriers into the housing market. By partnering with the State Government, eligible buyers can purchase their home with a significantly lower deposit, sidestepping the need for lenders mortgage insurance. This fund not only supports first-time buyers but also those re-entering the market, providing a tangible boost towards homeownership.

R J Sanderson's expertise extends to dissecting the intricacies of this fund, ensuring our clients not only understand their eligibility but also how to strategically benefit from this initiative. Our goal is to provide clarity and confidence, empowering you to make informed decisions.
