Buying a home

First home, next home or new build – we make the finance simple.

Buying or building a home is a big move, whether it’s your very first place, an upgrade for the family, a holiday home or a long-term investment. At Beyond Broking, we help you make smart, confident decisions – from understanding your borrowing power through to settlement and beyond.

We combine expert advice, a clear plan and access to over 50 lenders so you can secure the right loan structure for your situation, not just the first rate you see.

Who We Help

First home buyers

Getting out of the rent cycle or leaving the nest to buy your first home can feel overwhelming. We guide you through deposits, grants, schemes and lender policies, making each step clear so you know exactly what to do next.

Next home & upgrading

Need more space, a better location, or looking at a holiday or investment property? We help you plan the move – whether you’re selling first, keeping your current place as an investment, bridging or using existing equity to buy your next home.

Building or renovating

From minor renovations to building a home from scratch, we structure finance to suit your project. That includes construction loans with progress payments, renovation loans and strategies to keep your cash flow under control while the work’s underway.

Buying your First Home

Buying your first home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming — with the right guidance, it’s absolutely achievable.

At Beyond Broking, we help first home buyers understand their borrowing power, access government incentives like the FHOG, stamp duty concessions and the First Home Guarantee and secure the right loan from over 50 Australian lenders.

Whether it’s a low-deposit option, avoiding LMI where possible, or setting up a structure that supports your long-term goals, we focus on getting it right from day one.

From application to settlement, we guide you every step of the way — so your first home feels exciting, not stressful.

We can help with...

Borrowing Capacity

Understand how much you can borrow based on your income, expenses and financial position. We assess your situation upfront so you can search for property with clarity and confidence.

Minimum Deposit Requirements

Learn how much deposit you need and whether you qualify for low-deposit options or government incentives. We help structure your loan to minimise upfront costs where possible.

Loan Repayments

Know what your repayments will look like before you commit. We compare lenders, interest rates and loan structures to ensure your repayments are manageable and aligned with your goals.

The Australian Government First Home Guarantee Scheme

This initiative supports eligible first home buyers purchase a home sooner. This enables an eligible home buyer to purchase a home with as little as 5% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance.

First Home Owner Grants

This Government incentive is designed to assist first-time buyers with their property purchase. They vary from state to state, but typically provide a financial grant to eligible individuals or couples.

Stamp Duty Concessions

These concessions reduce the amount of stamp duty (a tax on property transactions) you need to pay when buying a home, resulting in substantial savings and are available for certain transaction types and values.

Buying your next home

Your next home is usually about more space, a better location or a home that better fits your stage of life. But buying again isn’t the same as your first purchase. Timing, equity, cash flow and loan structure all play a bigger role.

The key is structuring the move properly. Whether you’re selling first, buying first, or using equity so you can upgrade with confidence, not financial stress.

Things to consider...

Retention of your existing property to support growth of your property portfolio

Using equity to support your next purchase

Buying and selling at the same time through bridging finance

Structuring your loans to support your objective

Cash flow impacts from additional lending

Tax implications for a growing property portfolio

Upgrading to your next home comes with more moving parts than your first purchase. We provide guidance throughout the transition to ensure your finance is structured correctly, timelines are managed smoothly and your move happens without unnecessary financial pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to the questions we hear most often. Still need help? Fill in the Form for Discussion.

Most lenders ask for 5% of the property value as a deposit is the general rule of thumb plus purchase costs. However, it’s important you factor in purchase costs like stamp duty, conveyancing and potentially lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).

The bigger deposit you can save the better as it means we will be able to find you more options to choose from and overall it will make the approval process easier.

Your borrowing capacity depends on your income, expenses, existing debts and the lender’s assessment criteria. Each bank calculates this differently, which is why comparing options matters. We assess your position upfront so you know your realistic budget before making an offer.

Eligible first home buyers may access the First Home Owner Grant (for new homes), stamp duty concessions, and the First Home Guarantee, which allows you to buy with a 5% deposit without paying LMI. Eligibility depends on income and property price caps.

Pre-approval is an indication from a lender of how much you may be able to borrow. It gives you confidence when house hunting and strengthens your position when making an offer. In most cases, it’s recommended before you start seriously looking.

A fixed rate provides repayment certainty for a set period, while a variable rate offers flexibility and potential interest savings if rates fall. The right choice depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance and need for flexibility.

Beyond your deposit, you may need to budget for stamp duty (if applicable), legal fees, building and pest inspections, lender fees and moving costs. Understanding the full cost upfront helps you avoid surprises and plan confidently.
