Happy First Home Buyer Client.

Meet Lisa

First Home Buyer

We Helped Her Buy Her First Home with Just a 5% Deposit and No Stamp Duty!

Buying your first home can be really tough, especially with skyrocketing property prices and all the paperwork involved. But Lisa’s story shows how it’s possible to make it work with the right help and some government support. Here’s how we helped her secure her first Sydney apartment with only a 5% deposit and zero stamp duty:

Lisa’s Home Buying Journey:

Lisa had her heart set on a $750,000 apartment and had saved up $70,000. Feeling a bit overwhelmed, she came to us for help. After reviewing her finances, we found two fantastic government programs that made a huge difference.

Program 1: Federal Home Guarantee Scheme

First, we helped Lisa secure a spot in the Federal Home Guarantee Scheme.This program is a game-changer because it lets buyers put down just 5% and avoid the Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). Normally, LMI in her situation would have cost around $30,637.50.

Program 2: NSW First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme

Next, we applied for the NSW First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme, which meant Lisa got a full stamp duty exemption. Normally, stamp duty would’ve cost her about $28,279, but thanks to this program, she didn’t pay a cent!

If you’re thinking about buying your first home and feeling a bit stuck, get in touch. Our team of expert advisers will help you navigate your options and find the best path to home ownership.
