Let's open doors for first time buyers

We've updated our lending criteria to help more first time buyers get moving.

Helping more people step into home ownership

Buying a first home isn't always straightforward. That's why we've enhanced our lending criteria to give eligible first time buyers more options. Our changes could help more of your clients take their first step onto the property ladder.
  • Up to 6.5x LTI* - Your FTB clients can now borrow more towards their first home
  • Up to 95% LTV - Eligible FTBs can now purchase a home with a deposit of as little as 5%
  • A helping hand from family - Gifted deposits can be accepted from a range of family members including aunts, uncles and adopted children.
