Low Deposit Loans

Saving a 20% deposit isn’t always realistic—especially in today’s market. Low deposit loans allow you to buy a home with as little as 5% down, using options like Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) or a family guarantor to bridge the gap. While LMI adds a cost, it’s often cheaper than waiting years to save a full deposit.

Who It’s For:

  • Buyers with 5-10% saved but strong repayment capacity.
