Buying my first home
What benefits are there for first home buyers?
First Home Owner Grant (FHOG)
The good news is that, as a first home buyer, you may be eligible for the First Home Owner Grant. This is a government assistance program that can provide you with a one off payment towards the deposit for your first home.
Do you have any discounts available?
Our Premier Advantage Package offers savings of up to 0.7% p.a. off our home loan rates on loan amounts greater than $250,000. It also provides savings on home loan fees as well as on a variety of other products.
Do you have any other ways I can save on interest?
Another option is our Rocket Repay Home Loan which provides you with a 100% offset transaction account linked to your home loan. Every dollar you have in your transaction account saves you interest.
Our lowest variable interest rate home loan is the Flexi First Option Home Loan. It offers a range of flexible options and you only pay for them if you use them.
Another way of saving on interest is to have your income paid directly into your home loan to minimise the amount outstanding on the loan. You can then:
- Use your credit card to make purchases, and pay it off from your home loan using Card Autopay. Transfer money to your personal account so you can access cash
- Arrange automatic transfers to pay your bills and access regular cash deposits with our Smartpay feature.
