Buying your first home is a major milestone – but getting there can feel overwhelming. At Buyvest, we break down the home buying journey into simple steps, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence. From getting pre-approved to choosing the right home loan, we’re here to guide you through each stage of the process. If you’re a first home buyer in Australia, this is what you need to know.

Securing pre-approval

Securing your dream home begins with a clear understanding of your financial position and the importance of pre-approval in the property buying process. Think of pre-approval as your first important step in the journey towards homeownership. It not only clarifies your purchasing power but also sets a realistic framework for your property hunt. Pre-approval gives you a clear idea of your borrowing capacity, helping you to look for properties within your budget. Remember, pre-approval is typically valid for a specific period (usually around 90 days). It is important to use this time effectively in your property search. Buyvest helps you gather the necessary documentation and submit a strong pre-approval application.

The pathway to your first home

The importance of pre-approval and pre-qualification in the loan application process gives you an estimate of your borrowing capacity​​​​. It will determine if you are eligible for any government schemes such as First Home Owner Grant, Stamp Duty Concession or Home Guarantee Scheme. We will look at ways to save you money, fast track your journey to property ownership, and help you enter the market with a lower deposit.

Assessing your budget

The foundation of your property search begins with a budget that reflects your financial reality. We will help you crunch the numbers, taking into account all your income streams and expenses to find out how much you can comfortably invest in your new home. At Buyvest, we use a personalised approach, considering the unique aspects of your financial situation.

Understanding deposit options

Your deposit is more than just an initial payment; it is a significant step towards homeownership. We will walk you through various deposit avenues – from traditional savings strategies to leveraging gifted deposits and tapping into government grants. If you are considering a guarantor loan, we will discuss the implications to ensure you make an informed decision.

Finding the right finance solution

Navigating through the maze of financing options can be daunting, but it does not have to be. At Buyvest, we simplify the complexities of home loans, interest rates, and mortgage terms. Whether you are looking for the security of a fixed-rate loan or the flexibility of a variable rate, we will find the solution that fits your long-term goals.
