  • When it comes to finding the right home loan for your situation, there is more to consider than just the interest rate. While a lower interest rate generally means less interest paid over the life of the loan, if you’re a free thinker with unique circumstances, you might need a loan that requires other important features such as a smaller deposit or alternative verification. Ultimately, the best home loan for you is the loan that suits your circumstances.

  • Taking the plunge into the property market is never easy. When you’re buying your first home, pulling together a full deposit on a new home can be a challenging experience that takes time. Unfortunately, the property market doesn’t stand still while you pull your pennies together.

  • All lenders in Australia must adhere to responsible lending requirements, to ensure they don’t put a borrower into an unsuitable loan that results in unnecessary hardship. Lenders consider that borrowers who can show strong savings behaviours are less likely to default on their loan and put themselves in hardship. For this reason, lenders in Australia tend not to offer home loans with no deposit. However, for borrowers who are asset rich but don’t have available cash for a deposit, a deposit bond can help. Speak to a Liberty Adviser today for more information on deposit bonds.

  • There are many comparison websites that allow you to compare the interest rates, features, and requirements for various loans including low deposit home loans. It is important to remember that the cheapest interest rate on the market may not necessarily be the best loan for your circumstances. When looking for a low deposit home loan, you want to also consider the loan features available, whether any loan costs can be added to the loan and the lender’s track history, for example. Speaking with a Liberty Adviser can help you navigate this maze and find a solution that suits you.

  • Loan-to-value ratio (LVR) is a term you are likely to come across when shopping around or applying for a home loan. It refers to the ratio of the loan amount against the value of the property you are looking to purchase. For example, the maximum LVR on our low deposit home loans is 95%, which means you can borrow up to 95% of the property value. The LVR is also used to determine whether lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI) will be needed and what interest rate you are entitled to.
