  Handy hints for purchasing your first home

Budget

The first step is to work out how much you can borrow. Look at your income, expenses, debts and regular bills to work out how much you can repay on a regular basis. Ideally, your repayments should not exceed 30% of your gross income. You can also give us a call to help work out how much you can borrow.

Deposit

The more money you can save for your deposit the better off you’ll be. Repayments will be reduced and you’ll save money over the life of your loan. With our FirstStart Home Loan you can borrow up to 90% of the purchase price.

Research

Attempt to view as many properties as possible in order to understand the current market place. This will assist you in obtaining a good deal on your dream home and avoid a costly mistake.

Pre-Approval

Before you go looking for your dream home, we recommend that you obtain a pre-approval. This way you can go shopping with confidence knowing your home loan is approved. We can provide pre-approval within 24 hours, and it is valid for up to 2 months.

First Home Owners Grant

You may be entitled to a government grant to assist you with the purchase of your first home. Entitlements differ from state to state, depending on the type of home (new or existing) and the value of the property you are looking to buy. We can assist you to apply for the First Home Owners Grant.

Fixed Rate Home Loans

By locking in your interest rate with our fixed rate home loan, you get the certainty of knowing exactly what repayments will be no matter what happens to interest rates.

Our competitive fixed rate terms are available for 1 or 2 years. For greater flexibility, you can also choose to split your home loan to take advantage of both fixed and variable rate options.

At the end of the fixed rate period, you can lock in a new fixed rate or switch to variable. Whatever you choose, there are no switching fees.

"Just a short note to thank the Credit Union for sticking with the RBA's rate increase. I am a very happy customer anyway and this just reinforces my satisfaction with the Credit Union.
I work for a bank which just increased
it's rates by 0.40%. My deal with both loans I have with the Credit Union is better than the staff deal I get with my own place. Laughing all the way to the Credit Union!"
