How much of a deposit do I need for a home loan?

How much of a deposit do I need for a home loan?

You’ll generally need at least 5% in genuine savings, plus enough to cover fees and charges.

If your deposit is less than 20%, Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) may apply.

If you're a first home buyer, you might be eligible for the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme, which allows you to buy with a 5% deposit without paying LMI.

Speak to your local Member Relationship Specialist or Mobile Lender to find out more about your options.
