How much can I borrow?

Before purchasing a property it is always important to know how much to borrow. How much you can borrow
will depend on several factors including:

  • Your income
  • What you are buying (home or investment)
  • Eligibility for Home Owner Grants (if you are a first time buyer)
  • What deposit is required
  • Other loan repayments and commitments

An important factor to consider is how comfortable you are financially to repay the proposed loan. It is imperative that you do not over stretch yourself, it is best if you sit down and work out a budget and understand how much you have left over to repay a loan comfortably. You should also factor in possible interest rate movements as this will affect your repayment amount.

Apart from a deposit, costs involved in purchasing a property may include:

  • Stamp Duty

What is stamp duty?

This is a government cost that is usually the biggest expense outside the purchase price of the property.
Stamp duty varies between the states and territory. A great website is available for guidance on what the approximate stamp duty cost would be in your relevant state is www.realestate.com.au/home-loans/stamp-duty-calculator

What are convenyancing costs?

Conveyancing is the process of which a property’s ownership is transferred from the current owner (the vendor) to the buyer. A conveyancer is a legal representative that specialises in this field. Either a conveyancer or solicitor will review your Contract of Sale and ensure appropriate checks are conducted on the property with local government agencies.

What are inspection costs?

It is recommended that prior to purchasing a property, you hire professionals to inspect it for structural defects, pest infestations, or anything that could potentially cause damage to your property or be of concern

What are loan setup costs?

This includes establishment fees and will vary depending on the Lender and the loan product chosen. It is
important to note that you may also require Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) depending on your deposit
size. For help, speak to one of our Mortgage professionals

What is a pre-approval for a loan?

How do I get approved for a home loan?

Our lending managers will work with you to submit your application. Banks will consider your personal circumstances such as your deposit amount (20% of the purchase value is often a requirement), your income, estimated monthly costs and family situation.
