Saving for a home loan
We understand saving for a house deposit can take time. There’s also a few external factors to be aware of, such government charges including registration fees and stamp duty, legal fees and moving costs, or even assistant schemes to help you cover some of your costs. It’s important to do your research for everything you will be up against, and what support is available to you, when applying for a loan.
We’re here to help you understand what it is, how it's calculated and why it’s so important.

Choosing a loan
There’s no ‘one size fits all’ option when it comes to getting a home loan.
With options like fixed, variable or even split… interest only or principal and interest… to add an offset sub-account or to opt for a ‘green home’, sometimes it’s best to chat to a team of experts or do your research before deciding which option makes mosts sense for you.
We’ve provided a number of resources below to help you decide how to structure your loan, and which one suits you most given your current situation and your future financial goals. Or, if you get stuck, our team are always here to help via Live Chat, calling 13 10 90 or even contact us on Facebook.
Find a property
When you’ve got an idea of how much you are able to borrow, it’s a good idea to do some research into the right suburb and perfect property for you. Buying the right property is more complicated than choosing the house with the renovated bathroom or the apartment with city views. You should also consider the history of the property and learn about the suburb you may be moving to.
