Here's an example of a first home buyer home loan

Simon and Lisa are both working full time. Simon earns $43,000 p.a. and has been with his employer for 5 years. Lisa has been with her employer for the past 12 months and is earning $37,000 p.a. They are saving for their wedding and are paying off a car loan of $15,000. Simon and Lisa both qualify for the First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) and First Home Plus, and have found a property in a suburb of Perth WA they want to buy for $400,000. So, how did we help them?

Purchase Price - $400,000

Fees & Stamp Duty - $1,500*
* Fees & Stamp Duty - $1,500 Note: From 9th May 2007eligible FHOG recipients now are exempt from Stamp duty under $500,000 with a sliding scale to $600,000

Total Cost of Purchase - $401,500 - Total home loan required

Simon and Lisa’s income qualified them for a home loan of $401,500; however, as they did not have any savings they did not qualify for Lenders Mortgage Insurance. Hence the maximum they could borrow was 80% of the value of the property, amounting to $320,000.

Family Equity allowed Simon and Lisa to borrow the additional $74,500 they required by using Simon’s parents as guarantors. Bob and Jane provided a limited guarantee supported by a mortgage over their home for $74,500 to cover the shortfall.

Market Value Loan Value Ratio Loan Amount
$400000 80% $320,000 Simon and Lisa’s Property
$650,000 11% $74,500 Mum & Dad’s Property
$7,000 First Home Owners Grant
$401,500 Total Cash Available

Therefore Simon and Lisa were able to purchase their home with some help from Mum and Dad, even though they had not saved a deposit themselves.
