The first step in buying your first home is understanding your borrowing capacity. This involves evaluating your financial situation, including your credit history, bank statements, and income. At Homeli Finance, we help you assess these elements to determine a suitable loan amount. We also explain the importance of the loan to value ratio (LVR) in your home loan application. A favourable LVR can lead to interest rate discounts, making your first home loan more affordable in the long run. Additionally, we assist in checking your eligibility for lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) waivers, which can significantly reduce upfront costs.

Understanding the property market and available incentives is another crucial aspect for first home buyers. In Australia, first home owner grants (FHOG) are available in various states and territories, including Western Australia. These grants can provide financial assistance that makes buying your first home more feasible. Our experts will help you explore these options and ensure you meet the necessary criteria. Furthermore, we'll guide you through potential savings on stamp duty, offering insights into how these costs can impact your overall financial plan.

Fixed interest rates provide stability with set repayments, while variable interest rates offer flexibility to take advantage of changing market conditions. At Homeli Finance, we provide a comprehensive overview of each option, helping you decide what best suits your needs. We also discuss features like offset accounts that can help reduce the interest payable over the life of your loan. For those considering future investments, we offer advice on investment loan options and preparing for your first investment property purchase.

Buying your First Home with a Home Loan

Step 1: Initial Home Loan Appointment & Finance Enquiry

Your journey begins with a chat with our experienced Finance & Mortgage Broker. We take the time to understand your unique situation, including any special policies that apply to you. During this stage, we discuss loan options from various lenders and assess your borrowing capacity and purchasing budget.

Step 2: Fact-Finding & Home Loan Pre-Approval Application

Next, we conduct a thorough assessment of your financial situation—reviewing your financials, assets, credit history, and bank statements. This helps us determine your borrowing power and find the right loan for you.

At this stage, you may choose to apply for a Home Loan pre-approval, which gives you clarity on your borrowing limit and allows you to confidently bid or make offers on properties. However, pre-approval is not compulsory—depending on your situation, there may be alternative options available. Contact us to find out the best approach for you.

Step 3: Property Hunting

With your finances in order, you can start searching for a property that suits your budget. Once you find the right home and your offer is accepted, you’ll need to pay an initial deposit. This marks a major step toward securing your new home!

Step 4: Formal Home Loan Approval Application

Once your purchase is locked in, we submit the formal Home Loan application with the signed Contract of Sale. The bank will then order a valuation of the property. If everything aligns, your loan is officially approved!

Step 5: Loan Settlement

As settlement day approaches, there are a few important steps to finalise, including:

✔️ Engaging a conveyancer
✔️ Conducting a building inspection
✔️ Signing the loan contract
✔️ Purchasing building insurance
✔️ Transferring any shortfall funds

Once settlement is completed, your Home Loan is drawn down, and the property is officially yours! We’ll continue to support you by managing your loan repayments and ensuring you get the best rate moving forward.
